Christopher Columbus was the best deal maker in history. He left not knowing where he was going, and upon arriving, not knowing where he was. He returned not knowing where he had been, and did it all on borrowed money.

Dean was involved in a car accident. He was driving his car with his pet alongside him on the highway when a truck hit him from behind. The impact was severe. Dean was thrown out of his car on one side whereas his dog on the other. Both were badly injured. Dean sued the truck company and the truck company’s lawyer was cross examining him.
Lawyer: “Dean, didn’t you say to the cop that you were alright at the time of the accident?”
Dean: “It was like this. First I put my dog on the passenger seat…and…..”
The lawyer interrupted: “Yes or no? Did you or did you not say you were OK?”
Dean tried to continue: “After putting my pet in the seat, I started the car and reached the highway……”
Lawyer: “Your honor, this fellow is wasting the court’s time. Immediately after the accident when the cop asked him if he was alright, he said ‘I am alright’ and now he is claiming damages from my client. I have the cop here to testify.”
The judge said: “I love dogs myself. I would like to hear what Mr. Dean has to say, please proceed.”
Dean: “Thank you, your honor. It happened like this. I put my beloved pet in the side seat and drove my car on the highway. This truck came from behind and hit my car real bad. I was thrown out of my car and severely hurt. My pet was thrown out from the other side. He too was badly injured. He was groaning and in real bad shape. Thereafter this cop came on the site. He saw my dear dog groan and twist in pain. He commented that the dog’s condition was severe, pulled his gun and put him to sleep to ease him from the pain.
Next thing, he came to me with his gun pointing at me and asked "Are you alright? What was I supposed to say, your honor?”

Good morning everyboomie.
How is everyone? Are you ready for a new week?
I guess if you dig up a whole mountain of dirt, you'll eventually find an arrowhead.
I went out to the patch and dug around all day and only came home with one measly little broken, rough point, and two tips.
They're even harvesting sod from the back area on the side that has all the artifacts, and it got a real good rain washing last night, but I only found the two tips while looking over that area.
Also it was cold. It was in the 40s when I left, and eventually climbed up to 60, but the wind blew 30 to 40 mph all day. It's still blowing gale force now.
It all wore me down, but there's a bright spot in the night. There's always tomorrow.
Of course tomorrow, I have other chores I have to get taken care of, so I probably will not be going head hunting then.
Have a happy day everyone.
