President Biden
As to his age I can sympathize with him. I am the same age as the gentleman and my memory gets worse by the day. Long term not so much, but short term is yuk. What I don’t like is sometimes not remembering names of friends. Whether the president should be re-elected is up to you, the voter. Just my opinion, but I think we all would be better served by two younger choices.
Hard to Believe
I’m not sure when this happened, but an airliner was flying over Nevada when at 21,000 feet it hit a mallard duck. Now what the heck is a mallard flying at that extreme height? A little “Daffy” if you ask me. Anyway, it was the highest flight ever documented by a duck in our country.
Jokes
My wife is always taking health food to the extreme. Yesterday she took the carb-orator off our car. I just saw two dinosaurs crash their cars into each other. They were Tyrannosaurus wrecks.
Speaking of cars, if a car is chasing you, you’ll definitely get tired. However, if you chase a car, you’ll get “exhaust”ed.
Unusual Mating
During the winter male stoneflies crawl out of ice streams and tap their bellies on hollow branches. If a female stonefly is impressed by the drum solo, she taps back. Same here! That’s how I met Lorna.
Fly Fishing
I have to get back to this sport. My fly rod & reel have been dormant for too many years so I told myself it’s time to get back to fly fishing this summer. Andrew Sigwalt is quite the fly fisherman and ties his own flies. I’ll see if I can bum a few flies from him for panfishing. He fishes a lot on the Green River for smallmouth bass.
Hildalgo Express
I don’t know if there are enough good accolades about Notre Dame ladies BB player, Hannah Hildalgo. As a freshman, she already has set records at ND. Last week they played a good Louisville team and lost, but it wasn’t before she scored 30 points and got 7 steals. She is so much fun watching her on the hard boards. She has a lot of fans and I’m one of them. One more thing! They have an outstanding coach, Niele Ivey. For 42 years I officiated both girls and boys basketball on both sides of the Mississippi River (Iowa and Illinois) and in my opinion, Ivey and her staff get “the” best out of the players.
Boy Scout Breakfast
One last reminder that the Geneseo Boy Scout Troop 100 is having their “Annual Public Breakfast” on Sunday, February 18, 2024, from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The fundraiser is only $7.00 per person with children age 5 and under free. It is always a good thing to support both the Boys and Girls Scout organizations.
