Todays Skeeter meter reading ZERO ==================================
"Profanity makes ignorance audible" ==================================
SPORTS
(Vikings)
The headlines in todays Grand Forks Herald sports section. Indicates the
Vikes need more Moss. I'm thinking, if the "Vikes" could move a little faster,
the Moss wouldn't have time to grow. I'm also wondering. If the Early
Americans are having trouble with the fighting Sioux moniker. In light of the
Sioux "win / loss" record. What must the Scandinavians be thinking about the
Vikings? (Those capable of
thinking)
==================================
Did the Lord go on a Christmas shopping spree?
According to an Associated Press story. A Winona, Minn area Catholic School
is missing a "large sum of money". The money, is missing, that was the findings
of an audit. Church officials are saying "It may have been stolen". The article
doesn't mention if anyone bothered to ask God if he has it.
==================================
Whats in a word.
The last word in my "little" Webster Dictionary is ZYMURGY. It's an
interesting word. Meaning the chemistry of fermentation, as applied in
brewing.
I expect both Johns on my list, already knew that. (being in the
business) I expect even Larry may be acquainted with the term having mastered
the art of consumption. ==================================
Welcome Victor & Dorothy Johnson, to the lunacy of the Shivercity Gazette.
You may find, over time, the Gazette to be unbiased and without opinion. If so,
you will be the only one. We invite your participation as you see fit. If, at
some point you would prefer not being bothered. Let me know, and Puff, you will
join the other two "unsubscribers". We do guarantee that you get a minimum of
your subscription fee in return, every day. Although the Gazette may not always
be printed daily.
----------------------------
INTERESTING ARROW SIGN; I might need an explanation for. The sign says.
"Vikings fans party" "Packer fan also welcome". Packer "fan". Wouldn't it have
been easier to use his name?
==================================
Would the person that replaced the small gas tank on my snowblower, with a
large one. Please return it. Sometime between last year and this year. The gas
tank on my snowblower got larger. Last year, I could fill it up and blow snow
all over the neighborhood. Until the snowblower ran out of gas. This year, I
run out of gas, and, the snowblower is still half full. Darned if I know why.
--------------------------
Our street department has already hauled all of last nights snowfall off our
main streets. I bet you folks in Phoenix can't say that. Several Shivercity
folks have already been stuck in snowbanks. You Phoenixonians can't say that
either.
-------------------------
George and Lorraine Campbell came back to town this week. I'm not sure, if
they missed us, the weather, or simply tore too man pages off their calendar.
-------------------------
Rumour has it, Greg Dusek went fishing today. With a last name like Dusek.
You can almost bet, he won't be hauling home any Lutefisk. I'm told he just
keeps the "good eaters".
--------------------------
Someone said Roger Moe has been building tables in preparation for their ever
increasing Moe "home for the holiday migration" of family members. Roger hasn't
said if he plans on a giant Lutefisk feed. I'm pretty sure, however, the lefsa
is going raise havoc with the sugar
bowl.

GOTTA GO WORK ON MY DASH
and,.... my driveway ==================================
P.S.
If you find yourself with nothing to do. Drop the Gazette a note. Where are
you? What are you doing, and why are you doing it. Might be a
good way to start it Gary - GGP
