HAVE A LAUGH

Another contribution from a neighbor with some "Ghost like humor." 

This happened about 6  months ago on Louisiana Hwy 57, just outside of Dulac, a little town in the  bayou country of Louisiana, and while it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale,  it's real. An Ohio businessman, Paul Robins, abandoned his disabled vehicle on  the side of the road, and attempted to hitchhike. The night was pitch dark in  the middle of a thunderstorm. Time passed slowly and no cars went by. It was  raining so hard he could hardly see his hand in front of his face. 

Suddenly, through the sheets of rain, he saw a car moving slowly,  approaching and appearing ghost-like in the rain. It slowly and silently crept  toward him and stopped. Desperately needing a ride, Paul jumped in the car and  closed the door. Only then did he realize that there was no one behind the wheel  and no sound of an engine to be heard over the rain. 

Again the car crept silently forward and Paul was terrified, too scared  to think of jumping out and running.. He saw that the car was approaching a  sharp curve and, still too scared to jump out, he started to pray and beg for  his life; he was sure the ghost car would go off the road and into the bayou and  he would then drown! 

But just before the curve, a shadowy hand appeared at the driver's  window, reached in and turned the steering wheel, guiding the car safely around  the bend. Then, just as silently, the hand disappeared through the window and  Paul was alone again. 

Paralyzed with fear, Paul watched the hand reappear every time they  reached a curve. Finally, scared nearly to death, Paul had all he could take,  jumped out of the car, and ran to town
.

Wet and in shock, he went into Schmoopy's. Voice quavering, he ordered  two cups of coffee, black, and then told everybody about his supernatural  experience. The room became silent and everybody got goose bumps when they  realized Paul was telling the truth and was not just some drunk. About 30  minutes later two Cajuns, dripping wet, walked into Schmoopy's and one says to  the other:

"Look, Boudreaux, ders dat idiot what rode in our car when we wuz pushin'  it in da rain!!!"

BIRTHDAY GIRL

 

I remembered March 27. This is number four daughter's birthday. 

How could I forget. She winked at me right after she was born. That was 25 years ago (I think).

It doesn't matter how many years. She is all grown up and doing her thing playing with corporate America. When they need a business and computer fix,  she brings the team in to get it all running fine. She has also donated heavy duty assistance to two of our local blogs (CERT  and; Verona Walk Resident). Her efforts keep these blogs functioning in a professional manner.  Check them out with the links below:

When she is not saving Comcast, or helping Royal Caribbean she enjoys playing with Elephants, hiking in the jungles of Asia, or jumping out of airplanes just to keep her Dad's heart pumping good. We love her, and of course want to simply say:
 

Cindy -  HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!

JERSEY GIRL HAS FIRE

  

 

It is time to get a new dryer when your old one looks like this 

Our  Little Girl in New Jersey dealt with a very hot dryer yesterday. It burned a good portion of her basement. The New Providence Firemen left some marks on the wall, from their hoses and other equipment. That did not deminish the fact that they responded very quickly. When they left there was a smell of fire throughout the house, and a feeling of being ill in the stomach.

Cathy was fortunate to smell the smoke. She shut the door to her basement when she saw flames and smoke.  She then got the Kids out of the house first;  then called 911.   

She calmly gave her address, and told firemen exactly where to go. A couple minutes longer and this would no be a story with a happy ending.

God knows we need our "Kids" to be on their toes all the time and watch out for problems. A basement appliance fire can be very serious! 

Glad you did a good job Cathy !!!!
