From the editor:  

 Did you ever wonder why some people you meet in life remain friends, while others that have shared the same space with you in HS, neighborhoods, or sports teams, become just memories? I spent last weekend in Memphis at a college buddies wedding, along with 4 other college pals. We were stag. Our wives (most of whom are also alumni but all close friends) allowed us to attend the wedding of our good friend. It was a blast to say the least!

 

At one point on our way to Graceland (Elvis's home), we were piled into the rental car, all on our cell phones with our wives and children. The same scenario happened once in the hotel room as well. If we were back in college and all on the phones with our girlfriends, I would have thought, pathetic! Not now. As I contemplated this scenario I was watching, I had to smile and think, this is a good bunch of family guys!  Off on their own but not far from their soul.

 

We laughed from the second we met up in Memphis, to the time we left. It was obvious why we have remained friends for so long; laughter and respect. I haven't laughed so hard in so long. We did so much of what we did in college in Memphis; talk, drink, and laugh but now with more meaning. It was great to see our pal get married, and it was great to see the guys again. A few of our pals were missing at this event. I hope next time it is everyone from our group including the ladies. But it was a great reminder of why we are friends. You guys rock!!

Common sense?

More citizens watching the border reduced illegal crossings. Hmmmm!

Did you know?  

The government is now contemplating border security based on the Minuteman model. Hmmm! Maybe they're starting get it! Let's hope.

 

 

 

 

 

Fact, fiction, or funny Thanks Aunt D

I*A Cajun man wants a job, but the foreman won't hire him until he passes a little math test.
 "Here's your first question, the foreman said.  *"Without using numbers, represent the number 9."
"Without numbers?" the Cajun says,  *"Dat is easy." and proceeds to draw three trees.
 "What's this?" the boss asks.
 "Ave you got no brain? Tree and tree and tree make nine,"  says the Cajun.
"Fair enough," says the boss. "Here's your second question.  Use the  same rules, but this time the number is 99."
 The Cajun stares into space for awhile, then picks up the picture that  he has just drawn and makes a smudge on each tree.  "Ere you go."
 The boss scratches his head and says, *"How on earth do you get that to represent 99?"
Each of da trees is dirty now.  So, it's dirty tree, and dirty tree,  and dirty tree.  Dat is 99." The boss is getting worried that he's going  to actually have to hire this Cajun, so he says,
"all right, last  question. Same rules again, but represent the number 100."
 The Cajun stares into space some more, then he picks up the picture  again and makes a little mark at the base of each tree and says, "Ere  you go.  One hundred."
The boss looks at the attempt.  "You must be nuts if you think that  represents a hundred!" (Thought you'd like this one)
The Cajun leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each tree  and says, "A little dog came along and crap by each tree.  So now you  got dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd, and dirty tree and a  turd, which makes one hundred.....So, when I start???"**
