OK, it is Saturday morning, Tonia is on a shopping trip with her girlfriends to Fort Meyers, and we just got paid!! Oh, no!! So I'm trying to chill and not worry too much. We have a Big weekend at Church with a lot going on, soooooooo, I thought I would share what SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE HEADLINES THIS WEEK instead of all the depressing Stock Market Crash, Trillions of our Tax Dollars going to banks and insurance companies, while so many I know and love are struggling, not even to pay their mortgage but put food on the table. So on to the light-hearted!!
Did not know you could milk a horse!!! OK, I should have. I makes sense, but just never thought of it. The most I rode a horse when I was small was at K-Mart!!! Yes, they didn't have Wal-Marts then. He pretty much went in a circle for about 3 minutes until your Quarter ran out!!! But here you go, you can milk a horse if times get too bad out there. And did you know you can even brew beer out of the milk? I kid you not, read the whole story if you really have that much time to kill today.

Rocket to No Where!!!!!!!!!
Yep, I saw it lift off last night from my house!! Amazing how you can watch something 200 miles away. I have seen them up close when visiting in the Cape Canaveral area. Everyone should see a Shuttle or rocket take off at least once in their life. It's amazing. However, what was amazing about this one, is it is going to NO WHERE!! Yep, $600 million dollars, and 3 years and it is going no where. Mission: see if there are any other earths it can spot!!! Conclusion: the EXPERT SAYS, if it doesn't, then we might be the only Earth out there with Human Beings!!! HMMM!!! You can't make this up folks!!!! I don't want to over dramatize this, but $600,000,000.00 dollars!!! When 650,000 people lost their jobs in the US in just this last month? That's a lot of baby diapers, and food for the unemployed. Lots of mortgage payments. I think we are just numb, I actually caught myself thinking at first that isn't too bad. I think it's because, we are seeing billions, I mean with a BIG "B" being thrown against the wall every day by our politicians hoping some would stick like mud on a wall. Now it's in the trillions. So I guess, not bad for NASA to spend $600 million on a Rocket to No Where. Couldn't they have like, sold First Class Tickets to some of our Congressmen, and raise some of the money and just make it a one way ticket!!!!! Hmm, now that is a thought I could get behind. Wonder if they could retro fit it with 536 seats!!! Of course you can't send Congress House members, without sending the Senate too!!! Leave the Pres here!!! He can't spend without the crazy Congress. So he is OK, let him stay in the White House and really do the people's business. OK, enough of this craziness. This was supposed to be light. Actually this leads right into the next HEADLINE OF THE DAY WHICH REALLY FITS THE ROCKET TO NO WHERE AND POLITICIANS!!!
ZOO DOO DAY CANCELED
SEATTLE - A Seattle zoo said it is canceling its spring
"Zoo Doo" fecal compost sale due to high levels of
herbicide in the manure blend. That's Crappy! Woodland Park
Zoo officials said unacceptable levels of the herbicide
clopyralid were detected in the compost, which is comprised
of manures from several animals, straw bedding, wood chips,
leaves and grass, the Seattle Post-Intelligence reported.
"We deeply regret that Zoo Doo will not be available for
our many loyal users," '
I'll wrap up with just a few more stories that should be the HEADLINES OF THE DAY!!
2 Men Arrested for Stealing a Gorilla Head
APPLETON, Wis. - Two Minneapolis men have been arrested
and charged with theft after they allegedly stole the

Man Stopped by Police for Laughing!!!!
LIVERPOOL, England - A British motorist said he missed an
important appointment when he was pulled over by a police
officer for laughing behind the wheel. Gary Saunders of
Liverpool said he was talking to his brother-in-law on a
hands-free phone and laughing at a joke when he saw a
traffic officer flash police lights and signal for him to
pull over, The Daily Telegraph reported. Saunders said he
was asked to get out of his car and the police officer
said: "Laughing while driving a car can be an offense."
My Guess is that he had just heard how much his check was going to be for his stimulus package, $13.00. Don't know how many lbs that would be in England!!
That's it, for me...I feel better. Off to get another cup of coffee and hey, don't forget turn your clock forward one hour before you go to bed tonight!
