A Contest

Today's Saying

Luck never gives; it only lends. ~Swedish Proverb

In the words of the almost immortal Yoggi Bara "It is deja vous, all over again.",
Today I dig way back into the history of this blog to run again a comment contest.
I still have the same pail I put the names in last time to draw them out.
This is a contest that requires very little skill.
You don’t have to guess how many jelly beans in the bottle.
All you have to do is leave a comment.
The quality of the comment will have no impact on the outcome though it may effect my disposition.
For each day that you leave a comment I will put your name on a slip of paper and drop it in the pail.
Tomorrow I will draw and announce one name and then put the paper back in the pail.
We will add tomorrow’s comments to the pail.
The next day Betty will draw one name.
If it is the same name that person wins what is in the treasure chest.
If it isn’t the newly drawn name becomes the name to match the next day.
This will continue until we give away the treasure.
The more days on which you comment the more chances you have.
Simple but effective.
We will add to the treasure chest new priceless things as we go along.
Starting Tomorrow you will see this symbol in the left hand column.
If you click on it it will show you what is in the treasure chest.


We are starting with this wonderful, priceless, pre-read, hardcover book.
Good Luck.
Good commenting.

It iis a quiet Monday morning in Pigeon Falls. Tommy UK and Tammy are getting ready to go to school but both think they should stay home. The alien attack could come at any time. Wonder if it comes when they are at school out of the community. The consolidated High School is fifteen miles from Pigeon Falls. But Tommy can't say to the Principal I'm waiting for an alien invasion you'll have to excuse me until the big battle is over.
People are telling mrs Trumble they are hearing strange noises in Danelson's big barn. She has responded that the twon is thinking of buying it so it is being cleaned but how long can they keep the creatures in the barn hidden?
The man in black has not been see and the group is not at all sure he will show up for the battle but Tommy UK is sure. He says that you can rely on the Man in Black's showing up.
The tension is building and building and the group has reached a point where win or lose they would like to have the battle over with.
They have no idea of how many aliens or the extent of their firepower. There is no way to find that out.
