DWEC

Saying for the Day:One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating. ~Luciano Pavarotti and William Wright, Pavarotti, My Own Story

If you are planning on eating cereal this morning or any morning be sure you do it before you leave the house. If you eat it in the car while driving to work you could be ticketed for DWEC( Driving While Eating Cereal).): Four people were injured in Houston in October when a driver failed to stop for a red light while eating a bowl of oatmeal and collided with a transit bus. (Three passengers were hurt, in addition to the motorist, and witnesses said oatmeal was found all over the inside of the car, and also inside the bus and on the ground
Two weeks earlier, in London, Ontario, a driver accidentally lost control of his car while eating cereal, drove through a grassy median, and hit two oncoming cars (but no serious injuries resulted).
So police are now cracking down on people who eat cereal and drive. The worst offenders, of course, are those who eat cereal and talk on a cell phone while driving. They increase their chance of having an accident and the people they are talking to can’t understand them. Didn’t their mother ever tell them don’t talk with your mouth full.
You have been warned.

#### News from Pigeon Falls-The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal. It’s the day before Thanksgiving in Pigeon Falls and everybody is getting ready for the big day. The Methodist and Lutheran Churches will have a combined service tonight at the Methodist Church. It is a smaller church and the small number of worshippers won’t look so small there. For some reason not very many people want to take time from their getting ready for Thanksgiving to give God thanks. There are so many things to do and so little time before the relatives arrive.
Mrs. Trumble received a return receipt requested package from the ACLU this morning. It contained pictures of the community Christmas tree and close ups of the ornaments with manger scenes or angels. The lawyer wanted to know if she still denied that the community holiday tree violated the separation of church and state. She sent them a reply stating that the town doesn’t have a holiday tree and that the Christmas Tree in the picture violates no laws state or federal. She went on to say that she hoped they would have a good Thanksgiving on this day of state directed prayer.
Mrs. Trumble has made the Town Council aware that the ACLU will probably be starting some kind of lawsuit against Pigeon Falls. One of the council members said that the lawyers might spend a little while they are here and help the local economy.
If they are unhappy now wait until they see the manger scene that will be set up in front of the gazebo. That will stand their hair on end. What could possibly be a bigger threat to America than a tree with some religious ornaments and a big plastic manger scene.
Will the ACLU sue Pigeon Falls? Will they win? Does Mrs. Trumble know who she is dealing with ? Doesn’t Petrovich have a driblet with a way out of this one? How dangerous is a tree ornament ? And of course id Tommy UK really the undertaker’s kid? All these questions and some we haven’t asked will be answered in a future “News from Pigeon Falls”.

Today's Link-Daddy Likee- Now this is just a bit on the weird side.
It was one of those days. In the morning I got the three items I sold on eBay addressed and ready to mail. Betty went and had coffee with a friend from Crystal Falls. In the afternoon we took boxes of things we will never use to Good Will . This is better than letting them sit on shelves in the basement. Then we went to Hobby Lobby and got more plaster cloth and some Styrofoam. We came home the back road because 41 was so busy. Then I visited half of the links.
Now I need a breathing treatment.
