September 25, 2008 - Thursday

-----------------------
Todays Gazette is brought to you by Vally-Jo-Foods, Graftons first
"neighborhood" supermarket.
-----------------------
The current temperature is 52 degrees.
Yesterdays H/L temperature was 66/47
Normal H/L temp for this date is 66/41
It was 94 degrees on this date in 1938
We can expect normal, seasonal, weather for the next several days.
Normally, that means, anything can, and probably will happen.

L O C A L news & stuff,.. mostly stuff.
----------------------
I must admit, I am more than a bit confused (disappointed) in John
McCain's rational with regard to the United States sugar program.
If I understand him (McCain) correctly. He actually believes that we
(the American people) would all be better off, AND, that the wonderful
folks in foreign countries would be willing and happy, to sell us sugar
for less than we can grow it here in the US.
Ya sure (pardon my Norwegian) Mr. McCain. That's just exactly what they
(the Sand Ranchers) are doing to us with oil too.......... Right????
My name is Gary,... and I absolutely do approve the previous message.

It appears as though Christine Jensen has been a busy lady the past few
days. I received the following note from Christine Wednesday afternoon.

Hi Gary, I want to thank you so much for putting my message about PaPa
Lou's BBQ Sauce in the Gazette. Thanks to you I picked up a couple
more accounts today in Grafton, St. Thomas and Minto including Grafton
Floral, Grafton Square, The Country Smokehouse, Styles by Sheila, all in
Grafton, TL Hair Care in St. Thomas and Jody's Kut and Kurl in Minto.
What a blessing! My husband and I are dealing with bills left over from
the restaurant so every single account means the world to us. Thank you
so very, very much for your help and understanding and thanks to all
those businesses who agreed to feature our delicious PaPa Lou's BBQ
Sauce. Christine <<<<<
Thanks a million for caring and sharing Christine. Lets hope everyone
picks up a bottle (or two) of PaPa Lou's delightfully delicious BBQ
Sauce. I'm not sure if you can ship BBQ sauce in the mail, or, for that
matter if it's even legal to mail such a savory sauce through the US
Postal System. I'm guessing we're going to find that out in the next few
days however.
----------------------------
Rumor has it that Marvins Windows & Doors major facility expansion
project is on, or, maybe even ahead of schedule. It's my understanding
the Marvins expansion project will, in effect, double the floor space of
the Grafton facility. Which I might add, gives even more reason for me
to suggest to all of those planning to build buildings needing windows
and doors. Please, use Marvins Windows and Doors.
----------------------------
I've received several emails the past few days that include whats
referred to as
"The Birk Economic Recovery Plan" from several Gazette Family members.
It appears, on the surface at least, to have significant value, and, I
think just might be the answer. It is a bit long to include in the
Gazette, however if anyone is interested in seeing it (if there is
anybody left that hasn't seen it) I would be happy to forward a copy of
the plan to you. All you need do is ask for it.

It's the time of the year when folks start packing their bags and
"migrate" toward warmer weather. Such is the case with Gene & Alice.

Just a quick note to our friends and family. We are getting ready
to hit the road once again, bound for California. It seems too early
in the year, although the leaves are turning, and there are very few
birds on the lake any more, and those we see are flocking to head to
warmer climates (just like us). This has seemed like a quick six
months, for sure, but we have had a wonderful time here in MN with many
visits from friends. We will, as usual, spend the weekend in Sioux
Falls, and then head west on Monday a.m. Will be nice to see the CA
family & friends again also. We will stay still for long enough to
get the laundry done and then take off on another adventure to the
Carolinas for two weeks. It is a part of the country we've never
explored, so I'm sure we'll find new stuff to see and do. We are
leaving a few unfinished projects behind just so we'll have something to
do next summer (besides fish and loaf), and there are some projects in
CA that we may get to this year...or maybe not, depending on how many
card games we have to play, and how many visits we can schedule. If
you didn't get around to visiting the lake this year, we'll be back
around May and will look forward to having you come and see us here.
We'll try to keep it between the ditches, and you will hear from us next
in sunny CA. Gene & Alice <<<<
Thanks a million for caring and sharing Alice, and always remember.
It's just as important to keep from going over the centerline as it is
to keep it between the ditches.
=====================
GOTTA GO WORK ON MY DASH
=====================
If you are planning to leave money for something when you go. Why not
plan leaving some of it to your local medical center? The Lord knows
they need it.


Write if you can, call if you can't, and, tell your loved ones they
are,..... before it's too late.
