We have all heard a lot about reducing the carbon footprint print. What they are really talking about is carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide is the stuff we exhale. The trees take it and make oxygen. Carbon is soot, coal, and diamonds. If you are leaving diamonds in your footsteps, pick them up. You are going to need the money.
Janey fell in love with Alister Neman's music when she was sixteen. She bought every album, every c. d. and downloaded every song. It was a life long dream to attend one of his concerts.
When he announced his retirement, she was heartbroken. Janey decided she would attend every performance of his farewell tour no matter where it was.
Janey quit her job, borrowed money, cashed her stocks and broke her piggy bank. She followed him to New York, Miami, New Orleans and San Francisco. She travelled to London, Paris, Rome and Tokyo. Wherever he went, she was there.
After a year, the tour was over. Exhausted, Janey returned to her apartment. She dropped her bags, plopped down into the armchair, clicked on the T. V. and laid her head back with joyful contentment.
Janey was just at the point of dozing off when she bolted upright. She could not believe what the reporter had said. "Alister Neman has just announced the dates for his comeback tour."
Josh and Chuck went to the bar to have a couple of drinks. The place was crowded so it was hard to find a table. A big, buff, loudmouth took a dislike to Chuck. He questioned Chuck's courage and suggested he lack proper parents.
"Looks like someone needs to be taught a lesson," Josh said.
"Hold my beer," Chuck said. He walked over and slugged the big mouth and laid him out flat. Chuck returned to where Josh stood. He took back his mug. "You drank my beer!"
"I didn't think you were coming back."
A woman decided to make some extra money by selling cosmetics. (I got this idea from a t v show I heard someone talk about.) She borrowed a thousand dollars to buy product to sell. She then decided to sell the cosmetics to herself and borrowed a thousand dollars to do it. She made a hundred dollars commission. She was so happy with her success, she decided to borrow twice as much to make twice as much. After that she decided to run for Congress.
The trouble with windmills is there isn't enough wind. In some places it doesn't always blow and in some places it doesn't blow at all. I came up with a solution. It's so simple, I'm surprised no one has thought of it before. Do what Hollywood does. Use wind machines. It's perfect. Don't question it. Just accept it. This is the answer.
I noticed that I had written about two different subjects twice. I thought I should delete
one of each pair, but couldn't decided which one. Then realized I should just leave them.
Someone might like one, but not the other. And someone might like both and will be
twice blessed. You're welcome.
I started thinking about writing down every word I know. It's going to take a while. I'm
not going to do it all in one sitting. I thought about just doing it randomly, but decided to
start with the A's.
A, an, and, always, age, are, aardvark, aardwolf, ( Yeah. That one surprised me too.) alligator,
antler, abamp, (I'm going to have to stop learning new words.) ape, available, admitters, all,
arc, arch, archaeologist, (Maybe I ought to rethink this.) actor, ahead, That, is, all, for, now.
Chuck and Josh went to Chuck's house after school to play video games. They wanted some snacks and made a search for where Chuck's mom stashed her Oreos. They were tearing the house apart looking for the cookies when Chuck's mom walked in. "Mom, you really hid your cookies good. We can't find them." "Neither can I," his mother said.
There are two types of school Speed Zones I know about. One is 20 miles per hour between the hours of 7 and 5. The other is, 20 miles per hour when children are present. I often wondered, what do they mean by children? Is that a child or short person? Is that child too old? Then I found out they meant when children are in the crosswalk.
Why couldn't they just say that? Why couldn't they just say, don't run over kids in a crosswalk. And why do they believe we are the kind of people that run down kids in crosswalks? I know that , unless I am really annoyed, I don't run down anyone I see in a crosswalk. And I am pretty sure my friends and family feel the same way.
The sign sould say, School zone. Watch out for kids. Have a nice day. I think that would make us more alert and we would slow down to read the sign. Kids would, blissfully, be unaware of the danger and the rest of us would be satisfied because we did a good deed. I see smiles all around. My job is finished. Good day.
