09/18/06 MONDAY
---------------------
Todays Gazette is brought to you by Carters,.. the "little" liver pills
people.
---------------------
The current temperature is 45 degrees.
Yesterdays H/L temperature was 56/47
Normal H/L temp for this date is 68/43
It was to windy to pile rocks at the lake yesterday morning.
==================================
"Profanity makes ignorance audible."
==================================
L O C A L news & stuff,.. mostly stuff.
-----------------------
As I sent out the last Gazette, Tuesday, Sept. 6, I decided it would,
"probably", be the last time I would use the profanity quote. As a
matter of fact, by Wednesday, I was almost certain I had "probably"
overworked it's usefulness. Then, on Thursday I was sitting minding my
own business,.. and a little bit of someone else's, when a reasonably
intelligent looking young man began speaking like a person with a mouth
full of barn yard animal excrement.
At first I wondered why, why was it necessary for him to start each
sentence with Ozzy Osborns favorite "F" word. A couple times he actually
used the "F-Bomb" three times in a row. Then, I wondered if, maybe, he
was afflicted with a stammer condition of some kind. Nope, after I ruled
that out, I could only conclude that, subconsciously,..... he wanted to
make us aware of his ignorance.
So,... I guess I'll continue to use the opening quote.
-----------------------
It has been awhile since the last Gazette, and, alot of water has
passed through the prop of the "old" walleye combine. Fishing has
continued super with catching almost as good. This month also contains
several very important dates. Jeff and Lonnie (Demester) Pederson's
daughters, Taylor and Jolee both celebrate the anniversary of their
birth this month. On the 7th, Margaret Demester (Ma) my mother-in-law
celebrated the anniversary of her birth for the 97th time. Ma, is a
fascinating individual and could easily pass for a lady several years
younger.
Speaking of birthdays. Micah James Arnesen was born last week, weighing
in at 8 pounds 2 ounces, and will join his parents Mark and Monique in
the south park at Rocky Point. I am also pleased to report I have
already had the honor of holding the cute little stinker.
It's already 12 years ago this month since Pat underwent cancer
surgery. I am most thankful to God and modern medicine she has enjoyed a
complete recovery.
Then too, the 22nd of this month marks the 19th anniversary of the
death of my father William (Bill) Moe.
---------------------
Although I received several "where have you been" notes in the past
several days, this is one of my favorites. >>>
Subject: miss you
We haven't received the "gazette" in a long time and miss hearing from
you.
Maybe you are fishing. Hope you haven't retired as editor!! I hope you
haven't taken us off your mailing list because we haven't been
contributing.
We so enjoy hearing whats happening in Grafton. Hope you and Patty are
well.
Your friend and former babysitter,
Duane Sondeland (and Bonnie) <<< Thanks a million for the wonderful
note Duane. One more week of walleye combining and "my" season will be
over.
And no Lee, it looks like we'll be going into the winter, once again,
with a "fishless freezer."
------------------------
Marlene sent the following. >>>
Gary,
Would you please add the following to your skeeterville…
Zion English Lutheran Church will be having their annual Salad
Luncheon on Thursday, September 21 from 11:00 – 1:30pm. The
donation is $7/plate. The Salad Luncheon is sponsored by the Lutheran
Women's Missionary League.
Thank you very much!
Marlene <<< Thank you Marlene. I hope your Luncheon is a resounding
success.
----------------------
The subscription department has been busy while I was gone. I hope I
have the correct "new" address for Bill and Pat Holt. The Allmaras'
should be receiving our babble starting today, as will the Buckhouse
household. Rick and Diane Odegard will soon learn the real meaning of
babble as well.
I hope I have the right letters in the right order so Dawn's inbox gets
the Gazette. And I'll take this opportunity to say "Hi" to Lowell &
Karen Efterfield. Lowell was kind enough to take me out "sailboat
fishing" the other day and it was a fantastic experience, to say the
least. Thanks a million Lowell.
---------------------
I still have some giant night crawlers left and it would be a shame
not to feed them to the walleyes. So,... I'll give them one last chance
this week. Plans are to pull the walleye combine out of the water this
coming weekend. I may need to garner the help of Eben and/or Micah's dad
for that process.
Did I mention that fishing this past Saturday was fantastic? Did I
mention the Ribeye steaks at Rock Harbor Lodge are equally so? If I
didn't, I did now.
-----------------------
Some have requested I "resend" the note Scott Hove sent the other day.
So I will.
He wrote: >>> Gary,
A couple of days ago you mentioned the "archives" at
www.NewsFromGrafton.com ... then I read about spam problems, etc.. So
that leads to a couple of things for your readers to keep in mind.
1) They can always read your writing at: www.NewsFromGrafton.com
2) If they want to find something specific there is a "search" ability
in the upper right hand corner. All they need to do is type in what they
are interested in ("potatoes" for example), click on "Search This Blog",
and then all the entries for it will pop up! This is especially helpful
if they want to find something about a particular person.
3) You are building a great community online because of a great
community offline (Grafton!).
Best,
Scott Hove
==================================
GOTTA GO WORK ON MY DASH
==================================
P.S.
It really does help, when "new" members let me know they are receiving
the Gazette.
Write if you can, call if you can't, and, tell your loved ones they are,
before it's too late.
