Alan, Gloria, Tracey, DD, Mom and I gathered at the Cracked Barrel for dinner last evening as usual for a Saturday evening. The conversation carried over to Mom’s trailer where DD told us about her bad job experiences for the past couple weeks. She has been saddled with a boss with little knowledge of how to do the job and it is driving her to distraction. I can really feel for her. Very few of the managers I had at Caterpillar had clue one about what it took to run the machinery, but to hear them tell it they were master machinists.
The weather was just great yesterday and finally warmed up a bit. Noah is so cold-blooded ... he was already asking to turn the air conditioner on last evening and the temperature barely made it into the 80s. I suppose it won’t be long we can trade the propane bill being sky high to the AmerenCILCO bill going up drastically. When it comes to energy we have few choices. Pay up or do without. |

The Engineer and the Frog
An engineer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, “If you kiss me, I’ll turn into a beautiful princess.” He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.
The frog spoke up again and said, “If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week.” The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket.
The frog then cried out, “If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I’ll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want.” Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.
Finally, the frog asked, “What is the matter? I’ve told you I’m a beautiful princess, that I’ll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won’t you kiss me?”
The engineer said, “Look I’m an engineer. I don’t have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that’s cool.” |
