Is He Still Missing?

Three years ago, a  man was reported missing.  Well, today, the police are wondering if he was ever found.

I guess it is safe to say that the police were not actively looking for him and that his friends weren’t too concerned about him either.  So, if he is still missing, I suspect that  the police will have a hard time picking up the trail.

The Thrift Store.

The owners of a West Michigan thrift store were arrested when authorities discovered that they were stealing the merchandise that they were selling.  It seems that when their inventory got low, they would rob a few houses to replenish their stock.

Well, they had great prices and they certainly had low overhead.  I wonder if they took special orders for their customers?

Garden and Gun.

I started receiving a new magazine called “Garden and Gun”.  I really don’t know how to describe except to say that it appears to be Better Homes and Garden with a section on hunting.

I guess you hunt it with a gun and then serve it with what you grow in the garden.

Finally, a magazine for the whole family.  I love it!

A Body?

The news reported that officials suspect that they have found a body on the coast of Lake Michigan.  Suspect that they have found a body??    If it has two legs, two arms, a head and a torso, it is a body!!  What do you think it is, a tennis shoe and a wig???

So, how do you tell if it is a body?  YOU LOOK!!!

 

Highway Robbery!

My wife’  parents received a phone call early this morning from the local sheriff.  It was 12 am and the sheriff asked if they owned such and such car.  They said that they did.  Then the sheriff asked if they had loaned the car to anyone.  They said that the car was in their garage.  The sheriff then said that he was in a high speed chase after their car.   So, my wife’s parents checked and sure enough, their car was missing.

It seems that a known car thief had been release from jail that day and had discovered their house.  Well, in the course of the evening, he broke into their garage and stole their car.

He is back in jail now.  I hope he likes the food.

The Media; Reporting the News or Creating the News?

For the past few weeks, the news media has been suggesting that if  the US doesn’t come up with a budget, the financial agencies are going to down grade our credit rating.  Well, guess what?  One of the finance agencies has decided to down grade the US credit rating.

But, since only one finance agency has felt the need to do this, I have to ask;  Did they feel compelled to do so of their own volition or were they caving to the pressure of the news media?

And, on top of that, the news media is suggesting that maybe interest rates will increase because of the budget issues.  NICE!!!!!  As if the greedy credit card companies need a reason to increase their interest rates.

But, some how, I think  that this little media blitz may back fire on the media.  And, they may be the ones who get their little pink butts bit.

The Meeting; NOT!

Well, I knew that it was only a matter of time before some one called a meeting and no one showed up.  Well, it happened last week.

One of my co-workers scheduled a meeting and invited about 12 people.  But, the people that were invited did not feel a need for a meeting.  So, they didn’t attend.  And, to make matters worse, the person who called the meeting also didn’t attend.

It was a productive day.

The Mystery Tube.

The other day, we were looking overhead in the garage for a water floatation device when we came across an inflatable water tube that was about 5′ in diameter.

Now, I don’t remember the tube so I have no idea of where it came from or what it was used for.  And, a quick check with my kids yielded the same results.

Well, it may be a mystery but it works well.
