---------------------
Todays Gazette is being brought to you, in part, by The Grafton
National Bank Bookkeeping Department.

The current temperature is 34 degrees.
Yesterdays H/L temperature was 37/22
Normal H/L temp for this date is 16/-3
==================================
"Profanity makes ignorance audible."
==================================
L O C A L news & stuff,.. mostly stuff.
-----------------------
Until the past few weeks, I was under the impression that the practice
of cloning people was illegal. Lately, however, I have begun to realize
the art of cloning has been going on for many, many years. Obviously it
hasn't been completely perfected yet, although progress of the process
is evidenced with close observation.
The fact, with few exceptions, that every Democrat thinks exactly like
every other Democrat, and every Republican mimics every other republican
in the Alito confirmation hearings is very close to absolute cloning. I
think, anyway.
I also wonder. Why in Gods beautiful green earth (in the summertime) is
that position established for a lifetime anyway? Reduce the term limits
and the myriad of "issues" will be reduce as well. Or so it seems to me.
----------------------
I mentioned I have been "gleaning" previous copies of the Walsh County
Record. The more I read those copies, the more I appreciate the efforts
of the Records earlier staff and management.
I particularly like the earlier format for local and area news. It
reads as interesting now, as it did over fifty years ago.
I also seem to notice that every edition, certainly most, contain
pictures of beautiful women. I'm lead to believe that even back then,
the Record staff realized the value of publishing pictures of ladies
with a pleasing appearance. (That's probably a more politically correct
statement)
Anyway, the December 9, 1954 edition was no exception. That particular
issue, featured five such local ladies. All from the bookkeeping
department of the Grafton National Bank.
Doris Thompson, Germaine Collette, Carol Berg, Verna Hegranes and Elda
Peterson were all pictured in the banks advertisement with the intent
that the public would become better acquainted with the banks friendly
staff and competent services.
==================================
Use water, not milk, when making scrambled eggs or omelettes. Milk
doesn't blend with eggs, and will make them watery. Water makes them
fluffy.
----
It may be a bit ironic, however, the above information about eggs, was
taken from an abbreviated 2006 Farmers Almanac being handed out by staff
members of the Wells Fargo Bank Corporations insurance department -
formally (in town anyway) the Grafton National Bank.
It's just a personal opinion, but I think they should go back to using
the Records earlier presentations of their aesthetically pleasing staff.
==================================
If you happened to be watching the Larry King show last night. You must
have heard the lady from Grafton North Dakota ask a question about a
"smoking gun". I was reading the Grafton National Bank ad at the time
and missed most of it. I think she was wondering why the whole world is
running around with their boxers in a bunch just because James Frey
wrote a book that was absolutely fact. Maybe they should simply make
Frey a Senator from Disneyland. They could flip a coin to decide whether
he'd be a Republican or a Democrat. The confirmation hearing shouldn't
take very long. He can already cheat, lie, and "cook the books" with the
best of them.
Of course, if he should get stuck up in the chappaquitic country. He
may need training on getting out of a sinking vehicle and hiding lacy
undies. Oops, that might have been a bit "over the top" if you know what
I mean.
==================================
Tomorrow, somewhere in the state made famous by a chunck of cheese.
Doctor J. R. (James) Gaustad will celebrate the anniversary of his
birth. Doc Gaustad started his "practice" (eventually he did get pretty
good at it) in an office over the Zelda Theater. Rumor has it he watched
a lot of movies back then as well. In 1952 Doc seen the opportunity
(pardon the pun) in 1952, to move his office to the Kutz building.
Anyway, Dr. Gaustad has been enjoying retirement for the past several
years spending time surfing the internet for valuable information he is
more than happy to share with the afternoon coffee group.
I have always admired Doc's interest and concern for the community he
resides in, and, for the past few years I have admired his aggressive
approach to modern technology & electronics. (computers)
Dr. Gaustad, who to a great extent due to Sally's fabulous cooking and
Motherly guidance, will enjoy the first day of his 80th year, tomorrow
Sat., January 28.
Happy Birthday Dr. Gaustad, from Patty and Gary and the entire Moe gene
pool.
P.S.
We shook dice while you were gone Doc, and you ended up buying
coffee,...and cookies,....and cake,....and two pieces of pie for a
couple we've never met before.
==================================
GOTTA GO WORK ON MY DASH
==================================
The Gazette works best. when the folks that read it, right it. Or so it
seems to me.
Write if you can, call if you can't, and, tell your loved ones they are,
before it's too late.
