Wednesday

As the large cloud of chocolate bars hung over Pigeon Falls the group met. The question was how do you get rid of them without harming the environment. Ideas ranged from hauling them to a volcano and throwing them in to putting them in boxes and storing them in empty barns. This cold weather would keep them from melting. They could give them free all winter long to the tourists.
Finally Mrs. Trumble suggested they give them away to people who might like a candy bar or two but the budget didn’t allow it. She would pay for trucks, and railroad cars and send them out across the Upper Peninsula. Food pantries would be offered as many boxes as they wanted until they were all gone.
So the next day Robert lowered the bars into the field outside of town and volunteers brought every empty box in town and loaded them in the boxes and the boxes into the trucks and then the railroad cars. When they used up the last box there was still a small pile of bars left so every volunteer got to take some home.
Chief Ican told his sister , who is visiting, that one never though that chocolate bars could be such a problem. He really hoped the kid would hold off until Friday when Dr. Jim was coming.

Well here it is Wednesday and I still haven’t made it to the basement to work on the train layout. Monday Betty had to go the Doctor and the general rule is that you don’t go to the basement which has lots of potential things to trip us unless somebody else is in the house.
Tuesday we started taking down Christmas. I hate that but it has to be done.
Today I won’t get there because this morning I have to go to the lung doctor. It is a forty minute ride and that and the stress means I won’t feel like doing much when we get back . Besides there are still Christmas things to remove.
But there is always next week. At least the blog is working about the way I saw it.
The comments have been interesting. One nice person said she didn’t see much difference ( i.e.. The Emperor has no clothes or Much ado about nothing.) The differences, however, are significant for me. There is less searching ( sayings) , less writing ( separate story blog) and it all adds up to less time blogging .
I have simplified which was my goal. I have done so , hopefully, keeping the character of the blog intact.
I know there is Global Warming since I have been properly chastised for doubting but it sure has been cold. A couple days it was below zero Fahrenheit and to me that’s cold. I know that the countries big cold snap and Europe’s snow has no meaning but couldn’t global warming at least warm us a little?
Saturday we went shopping. We went to the first store on the list ( Office Max) and I said this is just too cold let’s go home. You try riding a scooter into the wind at five below zero. It took me an hour to warm up when we got home.
But this is called a few words so this is enough.
A quick addition. The Doctor's Office just called and he has emergency surgery so they have rescheduled for tomorrow.
One more addition. Because we had the time we went to the walk in clinic at Walgreen's and got the H1N1 Flue Vacination.
