How long a minute is, depends on which side of the bathroom door you
happen to be on.

The current temperature is 44 degrees.
Yesterdays H/L temperature was 52/46
Normal H/L temp for this date is 61/37
The lowest temperature on this date in 2000 was 18 degrees.
It hasn't been raining for forty days and forty night,... yet. However,
there are reports of an old man with a beard, his wife, their three sons
and their wives stacking up lumber on the west edge of town.
==============================
"Profanity makes ignorance audible."

L O C A L news & stuff,.. mostly stuff.

Our local elevator has started building another pile of this years
bountiful harvest on the ground east of the curling club. It looks like
enough feed to last a large herd of animals almost six weeks.
That would give credence to the rumor that several pairs of livestock
have been seen heading for town.
It is true that it already seems like it's been raining a long time. On
the other hand we have one advantage hear that the folks down south
don't have. It is a certainty that it will not rain much longer... here
at least,... eventually it "will" turn to snow. Or so it seems to me.
-------------------------
Pat and I would like to extend our most heartfelt appreciation to
everyone sending well wishes and condolences on the passing of our
beloved Mother and Mother-in law. That so many wonderful members of the
Gazette family cared enough to share their thoughts and prayers with us,
is truly heartwarming. I'm amazed when I think that the Gazette started
as nothing more than exchanging thoughts and ideas between myself and
our two daughters and that it has grown to
what it is today.
To arrive at a total number of folks receiving the Gazette today would
be difficult at best. However, my best guess is, if everyone were in one
town, there would be more than six intersections with stoplights on
them.
----------------------
On a more pleasant note. Thanks a million to everyone for the numerous
congratulatory messages we received on our 47 wedding anniversary. We
will be eternally grateful for such acts of kindness.
Pat and I spent the night at the Early American Monetary Distribution
Center by the shores of the Lake of Devils. Though one should never
expect winning while participating in their neon lit games of chance.
Our latest venture just might have given Custer reason to smile.
We topped off our venture with a super breakfast at Mrs. & Mr. J's
Sunday morning and returned home in the same vehicle we left in.
--------------------------
Gary,
Just wanted to wish you and Pat a very happy 47th anniversary in
advance. You also share that special day with my sister and her husband,
Karen (Klava) & John Czapiewski (Minot) who have been married for 29
years! You brought tears to my eyes with your wonderful tribute to your
sweetheart, Pat. Thanks for sharing Gary!
Thank You,
Sarah D. Klava

Congratulations to you and Pat on your 47 years of marriage! My
parents, Dan and Delores Burianek, will be celebrating 45 years on
October 16th. I thank them so much for the wonderful example they have
set for us about marriage. It is fun to listen to their stories about
the years, especially the ones when times were pretty tough. Their love
for one another got them through it...along with their strong faith.
Thank you, both couples, for the wonderful example you have given to us.
Happy Anniversary!
Tara Halvorson

We also received several like the following, and,... I suppose, after
47 years one might expect them. >>>>
Happy Anniversary Gary and Pat! You've been together longer than I've
been alive!!!
-------------------------
We receive several requests every week from folks interested in
receiving the Gazette. Often, they come with a "please do not share our
name in the Gazette", sometimes not. Of course if anyone sends anything
to me and does not want it shared either in the Gazette, or with anyone
else for that matter. I will, most certainly, honor that request. Once
in awhile though, if not directed differently, it is fun to "share"
requests as they tend to offer tidbits of information others can relate
to. For instance, Rita sent the following. >>> Dear Gary, Upon
conversation with Lee and Connie Kieley, they thought my husband and
myself would enjoy your Gazette. Hey, it's great and would love to be
placed on your mailing list if you wouldn't mind. By the way, our
good friend Lambert Brunkhorst has said that he has met you. Tis a
small world. Thanks bunches.
Rita Williamson Soine <<< Thanks a million Rita and welcome to the
Gazette family. Please keep in mind that the information received from
the Gazette, will often be worth less than the price of the
subscription. If the truth be known, I suspect some, if not most, of the
thunder one hears is from Hulda Carlson, Cora Lykken or Agnes Qualley.
They are, among others, from my "formative" years, most certainly still
trying to correct my communication skills, both written and verbal.
Our mutual friends the Brunkhorst's have a place in the south park at
Arnesen's Rocky Point Resort. This summer I watched as Lambert converted
a trailer house entry into a really nice ice house. His carpentry skills
surprised me. His skills of procrastination, only to be exceeded, I
might add, by mine.
==============================
GOTTA - GO - WORK - ON - MY - DASH
==============================
P.S.
I nobody tells me, I won't know. If I don't know, I can't tell anybody
else.
Write if you can, call if you can't, and, tell your loved ones they are,
before it's too late.
