Saying for the Day
Christmas is the season when you buy this year's gifts with next year's money. ~Author Unknown

Picture of the day

My older sister called the other day to tell me and this is the truth that my younger sister’s relatively new husband was giving her a burial plot. Now I don’t know if that’s a birthday gift or a Christmas gift but after I thought about it for a bit it seemed to me like a perfect gift. So many of the gifts we give are just wrong. They never get used. They just take up space. But everybody is going to die. What a creative gift.
We need to become more creative like that. To help you I have put together a creative gift giving list.

1. For the couple who has everything and wants to keep it a planned parent hood gift certificate.

2. For the person who intends to be cremated a soft cuddly Teddy Bear Urn from Perfect Memorials. Who else gets to sleep with their future resting place?




3. For those who intend to be buried why not a coffin coffee table. In life a bookshelf and coffee table but when they die it becomes their coffin. They always have something to look forward too.





4. For that poor tired person or persons in need of a vacation a gift certificate for one night at the Propeller Island City Lodge in Germany where you get to sleep in a coffin. Now that’s a vacation.



5. For the person who wants to stand out in a crowd a gift certificate from the closest piercing place. I promise you nobody else is giving this.




6. For the deer hunter in the family a bullet proof backpack shield . A steal at only $279 plus postage.




7. For the paint ball fanatic in the family his or her own tank. It’s a little pricey at $14,000 but this is Christmas.




8. Something for the tree for years to come hanging tree poo. They will just love you for it and only $5.00.




9. For the save the planet person on your list a beautifully preserved hunk of Rhino dung. The money raised by its sale goes to preserve the animal.



10. For the former smoker who feels lost without a cigarette this beautiful pair of cigarette socks. They will never be without a cigarette again.



I hope this has helped too get your creative jucies flowing. Remember no more dull ordinary Christmas gifts.
Be Creative.

News from Pigeon Falls

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal

POOF

According to the Iron River Reporter that was how one observer described the end of Pigeon Falls. Poof! A mushroom cloud and it was gone. Fall out from the blast took place all over Upper Michigan.
The government today said that a plane accidentally dropped an Atomic bomb on Pigeon Falls. The first time in the history of the country.
Congress has called for a full and complete investigation of the incident.
Still President Bush said that he can not understand how this could have happened. But he is President and therefore bears some responsibility however the safeguards to prevent this were set up under the Clinton Administration.
Soon to be President Obama expressed his outrage that this took place and gave his sympathy to the surviving relatives. As soon as it is safe he plans on visiting the area.
From all across the world governments are sending their formal notes of sympathy.
Osama bin Laden said on Arab television that now the evil giant was reaping what it sowed.
A helicopter pilot that flew over the area swears that he saw dancing shoes and a flying coffee pot moving through the destruction below.
Even the Lake of the Loons is gone vaporized by the blast.


Herman woke with a start. He wondered if that was a dream or a vision and then he heard the airplane overhead.

Wrap Up

Another good breathing day. In the morning I worked on Christmas gifts for my sister Chris. I got her one of those picture key chains and loaded it with pictures of her childhood. In the afternoon we worked on the layout. We had a visitor who took movies of the layout. I enjoyed that. We had one street car that kept stalling, of course. Something always goes wrong when you want to show off. After we went back upstairs we got to talking with Jeff about God. He is a highly committed lay person at St. Mark's. Then I visited all the links on tier one and two and some of three. Now I need a breathing treatment.
