Time to Stop Driving

How you know when it is time to "hang up the car keys"?
I say it's when your dog has this look on his face!

Why Dogs are a Man’s Best Friend

You may have heard about the crash of the helicopter that killed 30 military men including several Navy SEALS. The story is not about that incident but what happened to Petty Officer Jon T. Tumilson when he was laid to rest last Friday in Rockford, Iowa. An estimated 1,500 mourners came to pay respects for the fallen Navy SEAL, including his dog Hawkeye. In fact, Hakeye's loyalty to his owner at the funeral was visible, creating a heart-wrenching image as he lay down by the casket of his owner during the entire service:

Tumilson's cousin Lisa Pembleton wrote that 'Hawkeye is/was his loyal 'son'. To say that he was an amazing man doesn't do him justice. The loss of Jon to his family, military family and friends is immeasurable."

Donations may be made to the Frogman238 Memorial Fund, First Security Bank and Trust, 201 West Main Ave., Rockford, Iowa 50468, (641)756-3361, to honor Tumilson's memory.

JOTD - Half Off

A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart.

The husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in their cart.

What do you think you're doing? asks the wife.

They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans he replies.

Put them back, we can't afford them demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping.

A few aisles further on along the wife picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket.

What do you think you're doing? asks the husband.

It's my face cream. It makes me look beautiful, replies the wife.

Her husband retorts: So does 24 cans of Budweiser and it's half the price.
