An elder woman in Grand Rapids recently drove her car through the front of her hair salon. When she was attempting to park her car, her foot accidentally hit the accelerator. While the front of the salon was totally destroyed, she still made her hair appointment.

I suspect that her insurance rates will go up.

At 600 pounds, a Florida man was recently declared to be too fat for jail. So, he will remain confined to his bed. What was his crime? Stealing food of course.

Some Aborigines have convinced Prince William to search for the Holy Grail. Well, maybe not the Holy Grail but they have convinced him to search for the head of a former chieftain.

It seems that back in the 1700s, this chieftain was terrorizing British settlers because he resented their invasion of his land. (Go figure) So, they put a bounty on his head. Sure enough, after a few years, some one managed to kill him.

The British were so over joyed that they cut off his head, pickled it and then sent it back to England. And of course, over the years, the British lost the head. Now, the Aborigines want the head back so William has promised to find it for them.

Of course, I doubt that anyone would be able to identify the head even if they did find it. So, William could choose from any of the hundreds of pickled heads that the British have and give that to the Aborigines.

I wonder what they plan to do with the head if they get it?

Journal 08/30/00.  A vision in prayer.

We come down off of the golden platform and proceed to the right side of it. We go down a long dark corridor. As we move down it, I can see a reddish orange light at the end of it. The light gets brighter the closer we get to the end.

The hallway opens out on to the Lake of Fire. And while flames shoot up across the lake, I do not feel the heat.

There is no one in the lake at this time. But I am thinking that in a matter of time, all of those souls who are lurking in the shadow are going to end up in the lake.

A Democratic Representative from Georgia, who was addressing the defense committee, expressed his concerns about the island of Guam.  He was afraid that the population of the island might be more than it can handle and it could capsize.  A general reassured the Representative that the island was attached to the ocean floor and not likely to tip over.

Did I mention that this guy voted for the health care bill?

Our neighbor and local contractor is renovating an old building on main street.  When we drove past it today, there was a big orange and black sign hanging on it that said “Coming Soon, Hooters”.   Nough said.

My wife was recently laying on the examination table at the doctors office when a nurse came in to take her temperature. In an effort to encourage my wife to do the same, the nurse opened her mouth wide and said “Aaaah”. At that moment, a tic tac fell out of the nurses mouth and landed next to my wife’s face. There were several minutes of laughter before she could take her temperature.
