If you're thinking about coming to Grafton to spend a night, a week or
even longer to visit family and friends. Grafton offers three motels for
regular folks, plus, we even have one for the roughiens.
If on the other hand you are looking for a better sleep at home,
Grafton True Value and Landowski's furniture both handle top brand
mattresses that will allow you a full night of restful sleep.

Next weeks cleanup note in yesterdays Gazette gave Lee reason to share
the following. >>> Gary,
Your note about cleanup day reminds me of a story I heard awhile back.
A person had a deep freeze in his basement that he no longer used so he
hauled it up and set in by the berm with a sign that said, "Deep freeze
in working order, Free." The deep freeze sat there for several days
without anyone taking him up on the offer so that evening before dark he
put a new sign up that said, "Deep freeze for sale, $75.00." The next
morning he got up and it was gone. Human nature I guess.
Put my name on one of those tickets and remind me if you don't get a
check in a couple days. Make sure it goes right on top of the barrel.
Thanks.... <<<<<
Thank you Lee, for caring and sharing, and for helping our local youth
baseball program be as good as it can be. Your ticket one from Don
Folson and Richard Wolsky's all went into the barrel at the same time.
Of course I wish everyone the best of luck in this years baseball
Calendar draw. However, we should all keep in mind, the most important
part of the entire fund raising process is the funds the process raises.
Or so it seems to me.

~~~~~ Political Correctness ~~~~~
"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional,
illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream
media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to
pick up a turd by the clean end"

### Girl Scout Pancake Breakfast ###

========= The Menu: ==========

I wouldn't be a darn bit surprised that you'll see Art (Astaire)
Selseth there helping the Girl Scouts fundraising efforts.

There are so many things I simply just don't understand. For instance.
Monday The Weekly Source came complete with several "flyers" and a
lovely green City of Grafton Spring Clean-up schedule. It says this
years spring clean-up will be held next week, May 4 thru May 8.
(that part is pretty easy) Then it says, IMPORTANT (That too is
completely understandable) After all, we do want our city clean.
However, this is where the schedule starts getting a little sketchy. It
says, "City crews will only be going around town ONE time only" (that
part isn't even the worst) the schedule continues,... "To be sure your
items are collected, place them where you normally set out your
garbage." (well yah!!! that too seems logical)
Now then, here's the part that I have trouble understanding. Why, I'm
wondering, if the City of Grafton's Spring Clean-up will be held during
the days of May 4 thru May 8 most we have everything set out where we
normally set out our garbage by SUNDAY EVENING, MAY 3RD????
Oh well, I guess it's just another one of the myriad of things I'll
never understand.
Or so it seems to me.
