The current temperature is 27 degrees.

Average is little more than the best of the poorest,.. and the poorest
of the best.

Evidently the drilling process at Grafton Square wasn't as successful
as some had hoped for. I didn't hear how deep they actually drilled,
although it couldn't have been to deep as they were only on site a short
time. Maybe those Sand Ranchers aren't so crazy after all.

The CEO of Taco Belle, says their taco's are "absolutely" safe to eat.
If you can't believe a CEO. Who can you believe? A Chihuahua?

Ever wonder what gives the White House News goons the right to delve
into the First Ladies personal health issues? Ever wonder to what end
(pardon the pun) they would go to "spotlight" the First Ladies problem
area? Have you ever really wondered, what seperates the term news from
nosy?
As a matter of fact, I have, just last night. I was in the Gazette
library researching the demize of a fantastic meatball and mashed potato
dinner. I asked myself, - it wouldn't be right to ask anyone else to
enter the library,.. when I'm researching, - what really does constitute
news? Then, shortly after the passing of a slight to moderate "cramp",
the answer popped (pardon the pun, again) right out at me. So, I
have determined news is,
"That, which is happening, or going to happen, should be called news.
That which has already happened, will be recorded as history." Then, I
asked myself another question. What percent of the average paper is
news, and how much of it would be history? Unfortunately, I finished my
research project before I could answer my question. I did however, have
time to wonder. How many newspapers ask themselves that question before
their "newspapers" go to print.
-------------------------
As often as I can I like to recognize, and mention the often heroic,
always important, efforts of the many volunteers throughout our area.
Our daughter Kelly and her husband David were able to witness first
hand, how very important our areas fantastic volunteers actually are.

Subject: St. Thomas quick response.
Hi Dad. David and I had a situation happen on Saturday evening that
was quite scary. While we were waiting for our meal at Rookies Bar
and Grill in St. Thomas, a man who was just about to enjoy his Prime Rib
dropped his head to the table with what turned out to be a heart
attack. They, the people at Rookies, called 911 and did what they
could to be sure the man wasn't choking, but I can't say enough for how
fast the quick response team made it to the scene. St. Thomas is very
fortunate to have these two guys that got to the scene as fast as they
did on Saturday night. Kelly <<< Thanks a million for caring and
sharing Kelly. Almost every small town has what is called "first
responders". Often they are the closest, and consequently, able to
respond first, offering their life saving techniques until an ambulance
and more sufisticated medical attention arrives.
In this case, the St.Thomas community can be proud of the group they
call "first responders". They are a very dedicated group adding
longevity to their commnity.

The ongoing saga of the former Tollacks Furniture Store continues. This
time Margie wrote. >>> Subject: Tollacks
I was reminded, when I read about my sister-in-law Maryann mentioning
a piece of furniture from the Tollacks store ---- I was at a local
garage sale about four or five years ago and I spotted a miniature
wooden Lane cedar chest ---- when I opened it up I noticed it was from
the Tollack Furniture Store. What someone cherished for many years is
now my "treasure". How good is that? "A Merry Christmas to All"
Margie Kennedy <<< Thanks a million for caring and sharing
Margie. Richard, a gentleman I have morning coffee with at Granny's
tells me he has an ash tray from Tollacks Furniture Store. Richard
Thompson has also "borrowed" me a copy of The Grafton News and Times,
3rd annual Potato Edition. Circa March 1940. An Advertisement on page 54
says Grafton's Heaquarters for Fine Furniture and Hardware can be
obtained from Tollack Hardware and Furniture Company.

If I never hear from you. It's difficult to know if your really there,
or, if you even care. 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.
