Yes I do! The brightly colored and white lights that twinkle around every corner.

But the one thing they also remind me of is...

POLITICIANS !!!

They all hang together.

Half the suckers don't work, and

The ones that do are not that bright!

I know, I know...I take the fun out of everything!

Just when did technology actually start. Who determined that this was the age of technology. Well, it may have been much earlier than you thought...

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet, New York scientists discovered copper wire dating back 100 years. They then came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network 100 years ago.

Not to be out done by the New york Scientists, Archaeologists in California dug down 20 feet and in the following weeks reported they had found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years. The conclusion was that their ancestors already had high tech telecommunications a full 100 years before the New Yorkers did.

A few weeks later, the St. Paul Pioneer Press, a local newspaper in Minnesota, reported the following:

After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture in Embarass, Minnesota, Ole Olson, A self taught Archaeologist, reported that he had found absolutely NOTHING!

Ole came to the conclusion that Minnesota had already gone 'Wireless' 300 years ago!

Thank heavens for Ole!!!! Who said Minnesotans were just a bunch of Hicks?!

I am not sure what I did to the Weatherman, but I am very sorry. He has punished me most of the year by makiing it rain more than our share and delaying many work plans. So, Mr Weather Person...I am SORRY! Now may I have some dryer weather for a few days?
