Good morning crew,

We almost got a frost last night. Three weeks until the first day of summer and it got down into the low 40s. If my tomato and pepper plants get ruined this early in the season I am going to be upset. That would mean no homemade salsa!

On the plus side I took my change jar to the bank in order to secure a little extra cash for our Michigan excursion next week and was pleasantly surprised by how much I got out of it. It looks like we won't have to sleep in the truck and eat fast food every night.

But now the wife is trying to talk me into making a detour to Traverse City where she discovered online that they have a thriving casino industry. According to her logic, with one good afternoon at the casino we could finance the entire trip in cash without having to resort to the credit card at all. That is how she suckered me into going to the casino the last time, and the time before that, and the time before that.

I don't know why she thinks I will keep falling for the same, old tricks.

Laugh it up,

Joe

There has been a lot of talk about conserving energy. Like keeping the thermostat down in the winter. Using low energy bulbs. Turning off lights. Using less gas. It made me realize, my dad was like the first environmentalist. He would walk around the house yelling, 'turn off those lights! Turn the heat down!' He was green before his time." -Jay Leno

In a recent computer software engineering course, the participants were given an awkward question to answer:

If you had just boarded an airliner and discovered that your team of programmers had been responsible for the flight control software, how many of you would disembark immediately?

Among the many raised hands, only one man sat motionless. When asked what HE would do, he replied that he would be quite content to stay on board. With his team's software, he reasoned, the plane was unlikely to even taxi as far as the end of the runway, let alone leave the ground!
