National Hamburger Day...Or Not?

I was really excited when I read that today, July 28th was National Hamburger Day. But in researching it, (Yes Karen, I do do research.) (Do Do, I like that.) I discovered that many faiths believe that May 28th is the real National Hamburger Day. Well, whatever side of the grill you're on, have one for me today anyway.

Did I Tell You I Was Job Hunting...?

Yep, I Missed This Story in the News Last Weekend Myself

"Mooning of Amtrak" started in 1979 as a bar bet at the Mugs Away Saloon and has been an annual tradition ever since. That is, until last weekend, when some 8,000 people showed up to moon a passenger train as it rolled by.
This happened as the train motored through Laguna Niguel, a Southern California city with an estimated population of 65,000.
The police were not amused and broke up the bare-butt contingent. And, yes, alcohol was involved, which may be why some revelers mistakenly mooned a Metrolink commuter train

instead. http://www.moonamtrak.org/

Dog Gone it!

Oh where, oh where,

Has my little dog gone?

Oh where, oh where can she be?

With her ears cut short, (Not)

And her tail cut long,

Oh where, oh where can she be?

You May Remember This...

March 5, 2000:
This Southwest 737 came to rest at a Burbank, California gas station after skidding through an airport fence and across a street.

Ode To A Glove

This came to me today while working in the yard.

I thought that I would never see,
Something that’s used in surgery;
Be handy when you prune a tree,
And also keeps us warm.

When it don’t fit, we must acquit,
It’s different from a catcher’s mitt;
Big part of Jacko’s old outfit,
Five fingers is the norm.

Some are black and some are blue,
No matter what your favorite hue;
There’s many jobs this thing can do,
Depending on the form.

So let’s not stand here in the grass,
Why not go raise a pint size glass;
And act as if we’ve got some class,
Before mosquitoes swarm.

Stay tuned for the "Leaf Rake" Sonnet.
