Fail To Comment at Your Own Risk

Last week Ardvark failed to comment and she ended up with three flat tires, an ulcer, and her husband ran off with her best friend. I'm not saying it will happen to you but why take a chance?

Today's Commentable:Amy Mueller filed a lawsuit recently against Samy's Bar and Grill in Joliet, Ill., after she willingly tried to climb onto the bar to dance in May 2006 but fell and broke her ankle. Samy's should have had a "ladder" or other climbing aid, said Mueller's lawyer. [Chicago Tribune, 7-23-07]
The question of the day is should bars be required to provided "climbing aids" to people who want to dance on the bar?

@@@@@ News from Pigeon Falls– The little town in my basement where trains still run, dragons fly, and the games are over– All afternoon yesterday the Great Pigeon Falls Games were held. There were two big baseball games. The Catholics against the Lutherans and the Finns against the Swedes. The Catholics edged out Last Lutheran. We don’t know whose theology is better but we know who has a better ball team. The Finns for the third straight year soundly defeated the Swedes. One couldn’t help but feel that if some of those Finns ( who are Lutheran) would have played for Last Lutheran things might have been different. Later at the Fly-Inn Bar excuses and accusations would be made. The Catholics were accused of having a couple of Baptists on the team and the Finns with having some Italians. Somebody pointed out that a woman just isn’t as good a coach as a man. Last Lutheran was stuck with their Pastor as the coach. They forget how bad a coach the interim Pastor had been.
In other games Billy Eversol won the coveted position of belly flopper in the mud. His mother didn’t look to happy but she does the laundry . There were fifteen boys in the contest so winning is a real honor. This is what it means to get down and dirty in Pigeon Falls.
Alyson Bergall won the buggy pushing contest. You have to push the buggy through an obstacle course without hitting the obstacles and with the best time. Every time you hit an obstacle a recording in the buggy starts to cry and the judges add as many seconds to your time as the crying lasts. If you stop and say things to the buggy like “don’t cry little baby” the crying stops sooner but then you aren’t moving.
There were of course the more traditional games like sack racing, three legged racing, wheelbarrow racing, and greased pig catching.

I spent the morning getting my July and June blog entries ready to print out for my sister. Then I worked on some old pictures and watched my soaps. I was just going to start visiting the links when my Son and three grandsons arrived, early. Together we put up a dog run for Maggie. ( They worked I gave directions) Then they went and got lumber for tomorrow's projects. I hope to visit all my links tomorrow.We went to Country Buffet for the Evening meal.Now I need a breathing treatment.
