One small girl wrote this: We always used to spend Christmas with Grandpa and Grandma. They used to live here in a big brick home but grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida. Now they live in a place with a lot of other retarded people. They all live in little tin boxes. They ride three-wheeled bicycles and they all wear name tags because they don't know who they are. _ _ / )%.===.%( \ They go to a big building called a wrecked | // ,,, \\ | hall but if it was wrecked, they got it \/ \/6.6\/ \/ fixed because it's all right now.

They just eat out. They eat the same thing every night - early birds. Some of the people are so retarded they don't know how to cook at all, so my grandma and grandpa bring food into the wrecked hall and they call it "pot luck". My grandma says grandpa worked all his life and earned his retardment. I wish they would move back up here but I guess the little man in the doll house won't let them out. ============================================================== *------------ More Bizarre January Holidays ------------* January 11 is National Step in a Puddle and Splash Your Friend Day January 12 is Feast of Fabulous Wild Men Day January 13 is Make Your Dream Come True Day and Blame Someone Else Day January 14 is National Dress Up Your Pet Day January 15 is Hat Day January 16 is Hot and Spicy Food International Day and National Nothing Day January 17 is Blessing of the Animals at the Cathedral Day January 18 is Winnie the Pooh Day January 19 is National Popcorn Day January 20 is National Buttercrunch Day ============================================================== >-->From Our Friend Linda :) .-=. ___ . .-;-%%i:-%%, ==. / /,.-.;--:/ _, '"-\j / \ \==== ,%% i | %. ,;"""t_____ |__,|". i%%. \+ `'"f`','%| |;" .-`.__.O-< "`; `%+ (_,+--'"\_)%/ `.%% %" ._%/ __+.,-.

During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember .. Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. 'Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?' he asks. 'Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?' 'Sure..' 'Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?' she asks. 'No, I can remember it..' 'Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so as not to forget it?' He says, 'I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries.' 'I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?' she asks. Irritated, he says, 'I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for Pete's sake!' Then he toddles into the kitchen.

The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, 'Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great... I would recommend it very highly.' The other man said, 'What is the name of the restaurant?' The first man thought and thought and finally said, 'What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know.... The one that's red and has thorns.' 'Do you mean a rose?' 'Yes, that's the one,' replied the man.

Cut these months into 29, 30 or 31 equal parts. This batch will keep for just one year. Do not attempt to make up the whole batch at one time (so many persons spoil the entire lot in this way), but prepare one day at a time, as follows: Into each day put twelve parts of faith, eleven of patience, ten of courage, nine of work, eight of hope, seven of fidelity, six of liberality, five of kindness, four of rest, three of prayer, two of meditation, and one well selected resolution. If you have no conscientious scruples, put in about a teaspoonful of good spirits, a dash of fun, a pinch of folly, a sprinkling of play, and a heaping cupful of good humor. Pour into the whole love ad libitum and mix with a vim. Cook thoroughly in a fervent heat; garnish with a few smiles and a sprig of joy; then serve with quietness, unselfishness, and cheerfulness, and a Happy New Year is certain. --- ...Now that's some good cooking!

He was very grieved because he had worked so hard for his money and he wanted to be able to take it with him to heaven. So he began to pray that he might be able to take some of his wealth with him. An angel hears his plea and appears to him, "Sorry, but you can't take your wealth with you." The man implores the angel to speak to God to see if He might bend the rules. The man continues to pray that his wealth could follow him. The angel reappears and informs the man that God has decided to allow him to take one suitcase with him. Overjoyed, the man gathers his largest suitcase and fills it with pure gold bars and places it beside his bed. Soon afterward the man dies and shows up at the Gates of Heaven to greet St. Peter. Seeing the suitcase Peter says, "Hold on, you can't bring that in here!" But the man explains to him that he has permission and asks him to verify his story with the Lord. Sure enough,. Peter checks and comes back saying, "You're right. You are allowed one carry-on bag, but I'm supposed to check its contents before letting it through." Peter opens the suitcase to inspect the worldly items that the man found too precious to leave behind and exclaims, .-----------------. _____ / .-------------. \ '---o) | / \ \ | | | |_ \ \ | | | | | \ \ | | | | \ | | | | | | \ | | | | | |::::::::. o | | ____ | | | | \__:: \ | | /____\ | | | |_______::)_/ \|`.____|__|__:___:_______ | / | | | || _______________ ---\ | | | \ | || | .-----------. | | | | | \ | / || | | | | \ | |_____|____|_|____`.|| | |___________| | | | |::::::::::::::::::::|'''''---------------'''''''\ |.'--------------------'__________.----------......| |''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''| __ | _.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,_ | .'/ `. `._.' .

According to The Smoking Gun, Ohio cops arrested a man for driving drunk on a motorized bar stool. 28-year-old Kile Wygle crashed his bar stool near his Newark home earlier this month and called 911 due to his injuries. When an officer arrived and asked Wygle what happened, he answered, "I wrecked my bar stool." The plastered "motorist" then failed a series of field sobriety tests. Wygle's homemade ride is powered by a Briggs & Stratton lawnmower engine. Wygle noted that the bar stool could hit 40 miles per hour, but that he was only going 20 when he wiped out. No reason to get nabbed to speeding, too. But here is the capper...the reason Mr. Wygle was riding his motorized bar stool back and forth to the bar? His driver's license is suspended. Well, it makes perfect sense. I only wonder if they let him ride it inside the building and straight up to the bar. That would be classic.

Andreas Tynong, 32, told police he had to abandon the trailer carrying the old-style funfair ride after it became stuck in the ditch Saturday near Nasviken and the carousel was gone when he returned for it later in the evening, The Local reported Monday.

Lorain police said the 13-year-old girl summoned them to the home Friday without telling her parents, WEWS-TV in Cleveland reported. She took them inside and showed them a 4-foot pot plant in her bedroom closet. The stepfather, William C. Cramer Jr., allegedly told police the illegal weed and eight others growing in the attached garage were his, the TV station said. He said his wife was unaware of his horticultural activities. Police said Cramer told them he didn't smoke the marijuana, but grew it for his parents, "who loved to smoke up." He later allegedly admitted selling it "because times were tough." Cramer faces a variety of charges. -- Transforming car-plane to sell for $194K --------- PAXON, Ill. - An Illinois man who helped create a car that transforms into an airplane said the vehicle will be avail- able for public purchase within about two years. Sam Schweighart, 31, of Paxon, Ill., said the Terrafugia Transition, which took its first flight March 5, is expected to retail for about $194,000, the Champaign (Ill.) News-Gazette reported. He said about 50 people have already put down $10,000 deposits on the transformable vehicles. Schweighart, who holds a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, created the car along with colleagues from the same university. He said the Transition runs on high-octane gas or aviation fuel and gets 30 to 35 miles per gallon on the ground. In the air, the Transition uses about 5 gallons an hour and can remain airborne for 460 miles at a time. "If you need to drive and fly a short distance, it solves several problems, including finding or paying for a hangar," said Thomas Haines, editor in chief of the news site for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. "It's really meant for a special kind of consumer." -- Woman, 84, apprehends burglar --------------- FUKUOKA, Japan - Police in Japan said a 22-year-old alleged burglar confessed after he was apprehended by a homeowner's 84-year-old mother. Investigators said Katsunori Kuruhara allegedly entered the Fukuoka home about 10:30 a.m. Sunday and took a bag from the living room, the Kyodo news agency reported Monday. The alleged thief continued into the kitchen of the home, where he was confronted by Kimiko Nagamitsu, police said. The young man told the elderly woman he was selling iron bars but she did not believe him and held him by the arms while her 27-year-old grand- daughter phoned police. Police said Kuruhara admitted to planning to burgle the house after police arrived and arrested him. Nagamitsu told police she was not afraid of the burglar. "I wasn't scared. I thought he might come back, or rob someone else, so I thought I'd better stop him," she said. =========================================================== .- _ _ -. / / \ \ ( ( (` (-o-) `) ) ) \ \_ ` -+- ` _/ / `- -+- -` -+- (`\ __ _ ___ _|_ ___ __..-`) \ \/ \/ | | __| |/| | __| |__ .-` \ / | __| |\| | _| | | \_/\_/ |___| |/| |_| |_| L\J |-._ ___ __ J/_\L ___ _ /| | || _ | / | |/ \| | __| | \ / | | O ||| || `| | |\_/| | |_ | \/ | |__ |||_|| _| |_ |/ \| | __| | |\/| | |_||___| o|_____| |\_/| |_| |_| |_| _____L/ \J_____ /|___J/\|/\L___|\ // |\/`\/| \\ // `-.-` \\ //___________________\\ \ ________ ________ / \ \ | | / / \ \_____| |_____/ / \ _____ _____ / \ \___] [___/ / \ / \ \`] [`/ / \ ` ` / \ O O / ___________\: :/____NDT____ \n/ >-->History Story Time From Our Friend PatDeE :) CAR RADIO, AN INTERESTING TRUE QUINCY STORY CAR TUNES Radios are so much a part of the driving experience, it seems like cars have always had them. But they didn’t. Here’s the story. SUNDOWN One evening in 1929 two young men named William Lear and Elmer Wavering drove their girlfriends to a lookout point high above the Mississippi River town of Quincy, Illinois, to watch the sunset. It was a romantic night to be sure, but one of the women observed that it would be even nicer if they could listen to music in the car. Lear and Wavering liked the idea. Both men had tinkered with radios – Lear had served as a radio operator in the U. S. Navy during World War I – and it wasn’t long before they were taking apart a home radio and trying to get it to work in a car. But it wasn’t as easy as it sounds: automobiles have ignition switches, generators, spark plugs, and other electrical equipment that generate noisy static interference, making it nearly impossible to listen to the radio when the engine was running. SIGNING ON One by one, Lear and Wavering identified and eliminated each source of electrical interference. When they finally got their radio to work, they took it to a radio convention in Chicago . There they met Paul Galvin, owner of Galvin Manufacturing Corporation. He made a product called a “battery eliminator” a device that allowed battery-powered radios to run on household AC current. But as more homes were wired for electricity, more radio manufacturers made AC-powered radios. Galvin needed a new product to manufacture. When he met Lear and Wavering at the radio convention, he found it. He believed that mass-produced, affordable car radios had the potential to become a huge business. Lear and Wavering set up shop in Galvin’s factory, and when they perfected their first radio, they installed it in his Studebaker. Then Galvin went to a local banker to apply for a loan. Thinking it might sweeten the deal, he had his men install a radio in the banker’s Packard. Good idea, but it didn’t work – half an hour after the installation, the banker’s Packard caught on fire. (They didn’t get the loan.) Galvin didn’t give up. He drove his Studebaker nearly 800 miles to Atlantic City to show off the radio at the 1930 Radio Manufacturers Association convention. Too broke to afford a booth, he parked the car outside the convention hall and cranked up the radio so that passing conventioneers could hear it. That idea worked – he got enough orders to put the radio into production. WHAT’S IN A NAME That first production model was called the 5T71. Galvin decided he needed to come up with something a little catchier. In those days many companies in the phonograph and radio businesses used the suffix “ola” for their names – Radiola, Columbiola, and Victrola were three of the biggest. Galvin decided to do the same thing, and since his radio was intended for use in a motor vehicle, he decided to call it the Motorola. But even with the name change, the radio still had problems: When Motorola went on sale in 1930, it cost about $110 uninstalled, at a time when you could buy a brand-new car for $650, and the country was sliding into the Great Depression. (By that measure, a radio for a new car would cost about $3,000 today.) In 1930 it took two men several days to put in a car radio – the dashboard had to be taken apart so that the receiver and a single speaker could be installed, and the ceiling had to be cut open to install the antenna. These early radios ran on their own batteries, not on the car battery, so holes had to be cut into the floorboard to accommodate them. The installation manual had eight complete diagrams and 28 pages of instructions. HIT THE ROAD Selling complicated car radios that cost 20 percent of the price of a brand-new car wouldn’t have been easy in the best of times, let alone during the Great Depression – Galvin lost money in 1930 and struggled for a couple of years after that. But things picked up in 1933 when Ford began offering Motorola's pre-installed at the factory. In 1934 they got another boost when Galvin struck a deal with B. F. Goodrich tire company to sell and install them in its chain of tire stores. By then the price of the radio, installation included, had dropped to $55. The Motorola car radio was off and running. (The name of the company would be officially changed from Galvin Manufacturing to “Motorola” in 1947.) In the meantime, Galvin continued to develop new uses for car radios. In 1936, the same year that it introduced push-button tuning, it also introduced the Motorola Police Cruiser, a standard car radio that was factory preset to a single frequency to pick up police broadcasts. In 1940 he developed with the first handheld two-way radio – the Handie-Talkie – for the U. S. Army. A lot of the communications technologies that we take for granted today were born in Motorola labs in the years that followed World War II. In 1947 they came out with the first television to sell under $200. In 1956 the company introduced the world’s first pager; in 1969 it supplied the radio and television equipment that was used to televise Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the Moon. In 1973 it invented the world’s first handheld cellular phone. Today Motorola is one of the second-largest cell phone manufacturer in the world. And it all started with the car radio. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO…. The two men who installed the first radio in Paul Galvin’s car, Elmer Wavering and William Lear, ended up taking very different paths in life. Wavering stayed with Motorola. In the 1950’s he helped change the automobile experience again when he developed the first automotive alternator, replacing inefficient and unreliable generators. The invention lead to such luxuries as power windows, power seats, and, eventually, air-conditioning. Lear also continued inventing. He holds more than 150 patents. Remember eight-track tape players? Lear invented that. But what he’s really famous for are his contributions to the field of aviation. He invented radio direction finders for planes, aided in the invention of the autopilot, designed the first fully automatic aircraft landing system, and in 1963 introduced his most famous invention of all, the Lear Jet, the world’s first mass-produced, affordable business jet. (Not bad for a guy who dropped out of school after the eighth grade.) Some of us have been fortunate to have met both of these gentlemen and they were - gentlemen. It is time for everyone to accept responsibility for their own actions and stop waiting for someone else to take the blame & come to your rescue! --- ...Great Story! Thanks PatDeE!

He lies dying on the sidewalk as a crowd of spectators gathers around. "A priest! Somebody get me a priest!" the man gasps. A policeman checks the crowd but finds no priest, no minister, no man of God of any kind. "A PRIEST, PLEASE!" the dying man says again. Then out of the crowd steps a little old Jewish man of at least eighty years of age. "Mr. Policeman," says the man, "I'm not a priest. I'm not even a Catholic. But for fifty years now I'm living behind St. Mary's Catholic Church on Third Avenue, and every night I'm listening to the Catholic litany. Maybe I can be of some comfort to this man." The policeman agrees and brings the octogenarian over to the dying man. He kneels down, leans over the injured and says in a solemn voice: ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' "B - 4. I - 19. N - 38. G - 54.
