SHIVERCITY GAZETTE
02/10/06 FRIDAY
Todays Gazette is being brought to you, in part, by Graftons
Landowski Furniture. Their worth the trip.
--------------------
The current temperature is 18 degrees.
Yesterdays H/L temperature was 35/4
Normal H/L temp for this date is 21/2
Rumor has it the folks from the National Weather Service will meet
next week to decide what day we can expect to have summer this year.
==================================
"Profanity makes ignorance audible."
==================================
L O C A L news & stuff,..mostly stuff.
----------------------
The large plate glass window in the front of Ekatta's, the one
broken several days ago by a unidentified flying beer bottle, has been
replaced. It looks much better, than the one with a piece of cardboard
covering the hole.
------------------------
It's been awhile since I've shared the "hottest" topics around
Granny's coffee table.
This mornings Readers Digest version. No-one was "hosting" a
pro-bowl pool. That's great, I wouldn't win anyway. Someone suggested we
must be in the third week of Raumin gone. Next someone queried if anyone
had heard who's among the latest personel acquisitions at Ekatta's. The
latest, it seems is Kelly DeSautel and Kathy Iverson, although, later in
the day, someone mention they thought Joe Lunski was also working there.
Then a heated discussion errupted over the King funeral fiasco.
Everyone seemed to agree it wasn't the venue for politics. Someone said
they noticed former president Clinton and his "political" hopefull
attended the funeral, as did Former president Carter as well as
President Bush and his lovely wife could be seen sitting behind the
speakers. Up in the front rows were such dignitaries as Rev. Jackson and
a couple other guys that go to his church. I can't vouch for it myself,
but someone said they were pretty sure they saw -- seen, if that's
better English, -- Jerry Raumin in one of the front pews as well.
Would it storm, or wouldn't it? Everyone one agreed, the weather
man would be wrong no matter what. The article in Thursday paper about
Tom Olson and his buffalo herd gave reason for several minutes of could,
woulda, shoulda discussion. Then, someone wondered what Lon Lessards
tattoo's look like now. that he's skinny. A couple guys made a couple
guesses and a few jestures and then it was time to shake the dice and
see who wanted to buy.
Darrel Campbell "offered" to take care of the coffee, and Don
Hutson "thought" it was his turn to buy the meat. Early morning coffee
is always at least that interesting, sometimes more. There was probably
a lot more that I forgot, but I did say it would be the Readers Digest
Version. Right?
-----------------------
I almost forgot, we were wondering how the group did fishing. Greg
Dusek reported the fishing was absolutely fantastic.....catching was
very, very slow. I've used that line in the summertime once in a while
myself. Then I received follow up from Steve Larson. He put a slight
"poetic" twist to the venture. >>> Rocky Point Ice Fishing Report
Gary,
A little poem to sum up our fishing expedition. 'The fishing was fun,
the comeraderie was great,
but when it came time for supper,
it was beef that we ate.'
We left all the fish in the lake for you....so you should enjoy a great
summer of fishing at Rocky Point.
Steve <<< Thanks a million for caring and sharing Steve. AND, for
leaving the fish for us "long rod" anglers.
-----------------------
It sounds like Ralph had a better chance to look at what he wrote
the other day and thought he should recapitulate a bit. Ralph wrote: >>>
Gary, a little clarification on my note about government rights, and you
don't have to reprint this if you don't want to. That is your right. All
rights belong to the individual until we all agree to give certain of
our God-given liberties for what we perceive as the greater good.
Government exists only on the basis of those rights given to it by those
it governs. This administration argues that it has those rights to
listening to certain citizen's phone conversations as they interpret the
War Powers act. This doesn't mean anybody can listen to any
conversation. The President must sign off on each named citizen. What he
signs must include the agencies reason for doing so. I doubt you or I
will ever be considered a threat to national security. The only question
might be that something must be amiss with someone who has lead such a
boring life, except, as the old saying goes, "I only trust me and you,
and I am not so sure about you."
There will be a test on Monday. Study hard. <<< Thanks a million for the
clarification Ralph. You said just excatly what I thought you would
say,..I think. Anyway, If the test involves food. I shouldn't have any
problem passing it,...the food that is.
------------------------
Gary Fischer - the chemist not the banker - shared the following
with us. >>> Scott is the author of the book titled OH, POOP!
Problems Happen... This reminds me of your "things will go along like
this for awhile, and, then they'll get worse!"
Sort of a tongue in cheek.
I am a grandpa now for the first time. Her name is Nadia Al-Masri and is
9 months old. Jill is her mother and kept her maiden name so that is why
the baby has a different name. We Fischers like to keep things
complicated. I am getting my second pacemaker on Feb 20. Nothing to
sweat (as I am told).
Keep Jolly, Gary <<< Thanks a million for caring and sharing Gary. If
that pacemaker comes with a remote control, send one to me. I'd love to
"rev" it up a time or two, just for old times sake. I used to be able to
get your heart pumping pretty good in the past. Remember?
Congratulations also to you and your lovely wife Ann for your
beautiful little granddaughter Nadia. Thank you so much for the
fantastic picture.
------------------------
I'm still finding "items if interest" in the December 23, 1948
edition of the Walsh County Record. For instance. An article listing
twenty-five local businesses that contributed merchandise prizes to the
first baby born in the new year. (1949)
Only four of the twenty-five listed in the article are still in
business today. I am pleased, and proud, to say that one of those
businesses is Grafton Floral. Anyone wanna guess the others?
------------------------
Which reminds me. If your going to give your sweetheart jewelry
for Valentines Day, go to a jeweler. If your going to give your
sweetheart furniture, go to a furniture store. If, on the other hand,
your going tell your sweetheart how much you really love her. Say it in
the very best possible way you can. "Say it with Flowers." with
beautiful flowers from your favorite flower shop. Or so it seems to me.
+++++++++++++
It will take the best in each of us to make the best world for all
of us
==================================
GOTTA GO WORK ON MY DASH
==================================
The Gazette works best, when the folks the read it, write it. Or
so it seems to me.
After all, the December 1948 edition of the Walsh County
Record can't keep giving up information forever.
Write if you can, call if you can't, and, tell your loved ones they are,
before it's too late.
