Good Morning, !
Today is Tuesday, October 29.
I had to drive to High River to see my heart doctor today.
After having lived in the Yukon for 30 years, a bit of snow
on the road was no problem, but it sure seems to have been
for some people, especially in the area, where it was foggy.
In the afternoon it cleared up. The large hoar frost crystals
on the snow looked magnificent in the afternoon sun. Sure was
cold, though, walking against the wind. It was about -16 and the
wind was 30 - 40, and carrying frost crystals, that it tore off
trees and bushes. I sure was glad to get to a warm home at
the end of my one hour walk.
While walking I wondered if there is a light bicycler or
jogger version of a full-face motorcycle helmet.
Have FUN!

Manny was almost 29 years old. Most of his friends had
already gotten married, and Manny just bounced from one
relationship to the next.
Finally a friend asked him, "What's the matter, are you
looking for the perfect woman? Are you THAT particular?
Can't you find anyone who suits you?"
"No," Manny replied. "I meet a lot of nice girls, but as
soon as I bring them home to meet my parents, my mother
doesn't like them. So I keep on looking!"
"Listen," his friend suggested, "Why don't you find a girl
who's just like your dear ole Mother?"
Many weeks past before Manny and his friend got together
again.
"So Manny. Did you find the perfect girl yet. One that's
just like your Mother?"
Manny shrugged his shoulders, "Yes I found one just like
Mom. My mother loved her, they became great friends."
"Excellent!!! So, are you and this girl engaged, yet?"
"I'm afraid not. My Father can't stand her!"

Damon Michael Miljour, 36, Fort Myers, Floriduh
Traded His Harley For A Jail Cell
And A Realistic New Halloween Mask
Reported by The Weekly Vice
Damon Michael Miljour, a 36-year-old Florida man, was jailed
Thursday after he allegedly stole several items from a surf
shop before polishing the pavement with his face while
fleeing the scene.
According to the Lee County Sheriff's Office, deputies were
dispatched to the area of Bonita Beach road Thursday after
witnesses called to report a motorcycle crash.
When deputies arrived on the scene, they found a black
Harley Davidson motorcycle lying on the road with an
obviously injured Miljour nearby.
Investigators say Miljour was rushed to Lee Memorial
Hospital where he was treated for his injuries.
Deputies also noticed something suspicious while processing
the scene. Several retail items which appeared brand new
with the store's retail tag still intact. Among the items,
deputies found sunglasses, wrist watches and high end shoes.
Deputies checked out the store, Mango Bay, and discovered
that a side window to the shop had been smashed out.
Inside the store, several merchandise items were scattered
as if someone had rummaged through the merchandise looking
for items of value to steal.
Deputies contacted a store manager who confirmed that the
items belonged to his shop and had not been purchased. The
total value of the stolen items was estimated at $10,000.
Detectives then visited Miljour in the hospital, who claimed
he didn't remember anything before waking up in the hospital.
Miljour was booked into jail and charged with burglary,
grand theft, and since he couldn't remember anything, he
obviously was DUI.

Re: Fake Open Office
Dear Webby,
I noticed that the writer mentioned installing Open Office
and then found their computer was infected.
I went to a site that offered Open Office some months ago.
It looked like an official site, but the download attempted
to install a lot of unwanted stuff. (my antivirus program
and superantispyware went crazy trying to stop the
infections) I ended up having to do a system restore to a
couple of days earlier to solve the issue.
Only go to Apache Open Office at http://www.openoffice.org/
to get this program. Never install from a cd purchased from
ebay as many of them as well as alternative sites are filled
with malware.

Dear Neil
I agree 100%.
For Open Office go straight to http://www.openoffice.org/
and nowhere else, no wmatter whether some site promises to
be a faster and nearer mirror.
If you use Libre Office, the real home is at
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/
For Spybot-Search&Destroy, their home is still at
http://www.safer-networking.org/dl/
Re that Snap-do virus, do NOT go to SpyHunter or
fixbrowsers.com, even though the bozos at Ask.com have it
top listed. Obviously, they don't have a clucking fue.
That SpyHunter is probably the worst piece of monkey-crap
I have come across in a very long time. If you tried even
a bit of it, you need to do a sytem-restore. Or try to.
To get rid of Snap-do or Snap.do, the best answer is at
Techsupportall.com
Even though the Engrisch there is not ready for opera,
the technical advice is excellent.
By the way, where he mentions google.com for Home site,
take that as a quick example. It you have your local TV
station or the Humor Letter as your normal HOME site,
put that URL in there. He used google.com just as a quick
example, to avoid having to type this much.
Have FUN!

Freshening Sour Laundry
When a load of wet laundry got left in the dryer for a
week the smell was horrendous. I soaked the whole load
in the washer overnight with a cup of vinegar in the
water, then drained it and rewashed with laundry soap.
As good as new!

Negotiations between union members and their employer were
at an impasse. The union denied that their workers were
flagrantly abusing their contract's sick-leave provisions.
One morning at the bargaining table, the company's chief
negotiator held aloft the morning edition of the newspaper,
"This man," he announced, "called in SICK yesterday!"
There on the sports page, was a photo of the supposedly ill
employee, who had just won a local golf tournament with an
excellent score.
The silence in the room was broken by a union negotiator.
"Wow," he said. "Think of what kind of score he could have
had if he hadn't been sick!"

An American couple was driving in Canada and got lost.
Finally, they drove into a city. They saw a gentleman on the
sidewalk, so the husband pulled the car up to the curb. His
wife rolled down her window and asked, "Excuse me, sir,
we're lost. Can you please tell us where we are?"
The gentleman on the street replied, "Saskatoon, Saskatchewan."
The lady rolled up the window, turned to her husband and said,
"We really are lost. They don't even speak English here."
