Fun Stuff...Off Topic(O/T)

That was the most amazing thing I've seen in a long while. Shame on the news media for missing this event. They are too busy convincing the world that we live in a soap opera to cover real innovation and a HUGE accomplishment! Space-X accomplished what the US Government (and any of the other world powers) could not!

Hear, hear! And to watch this happen live-streamed online with my son, for his first actual rocket launch viewing, complete with the whole "10, 9, 8..." it's just priceless... and there's little doubt Musk has at least one more Tesla customer 13 years from now.

Tesla to circle Mars and the Sun. Launch in 55 minutes if we're lucky. This is cool. Watch the short video if you can.http://www.spacex.com/webcast

Good grief: Begin the Beguine by Artie Shaw. Just before he married Lana Turner!

You have GOT TO BE KIDDING!!! My neighbor owns a geese removal service (using trained dogs). I wonder if she's out there chasing mail people! Have to ask her!

Stress

You pick up a hitchhiker… A beautiful girl.
Suddenly, she faints inside your truck and you take her to the hospital. Now that's stressful.

But at the hospital, they say she is pregnant and congratulate you that you're going to be a father.
You say that you are not the father, but the girl says you are. This is getting very stressful!

You request a DNA test to prove that you are not the father. After the tests are completed,
The doctor says the test shows you're infertile,
And probably have been since birth.
You're extremely stressed but relieved.

On your way back home,
you think about your 5 kids at home.

Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash, was one of the greatest political sages this country has ever known.

Some of his sayings:

1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.

2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

3. There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works.

4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

5. Always drink upstream from the herd.

6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

7. The quickest way to double your money is
to fold it and put it back into your pocket.

8. There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.

9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

10. If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.

12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

ABOUT GROWING OLDER...

First ~Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me; I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.

Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.

Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.

Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it's such a nice change from being young.

Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.

Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

Tenth ~ Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.

And, finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you're old.

River, how come your quote removes the capital letters? It ruins the link when that happens..... I almost cried when I couldn't load again it at first, but I'm glad it's still there after all
A great clip, there, billy!

I wish I knew! Annoying!
