'Can't complain. Vincent, can I get you a drink?'
'No thanks - I've got one 'ere!'

An American farmer was on holiday in Wales. He could not resist exploring the hill farms north of Aberystwyth. At lunch time he dropped into a pub and fell into easy conversation with a Welsh farmer.
'How big is your spread?' , asked the American. 'Well look you, it's about 20 acres he said' . Only 20 acres the American responded, back in Texas I can get up at sunrise, saddle my horse and ride all day, when I return at supper time, I'll be lucky to cover half my farm'. 'Dew dew' , said the Welshman, 'I once had horse like that, but sent him to the knackers yard.'

'When you applied for this job, you told us you had three years experience. Now I have discovered this is the first position You've ever held.'
'True', the young man answered with a smile, 'in your advertisement you said you wanted a person with imagination.'

Good morning everyboomie.
I think this has been without a doubt, the best week of this year! What do you think?
I don't really see how anyone can disagree with me.
Well just like I predicted, we had weather today.
I predict more for the remainder of the week, and even more weather next week.
One thing about the weather, it's one of the few things that everybody in the world has in common.
Put two complete strangers in a room and they'll be able to immediately have a discussion about the weather, even if they know absolutely nothing about each other.
Of course it'll be an argument because one of them likes it, and the other one hates it.
How do you like your weather? I like Goldilocks weather. Not too hot, and not too cold. Jusssssst right.
Have a
cool,
warm, cool day everyone.
