| Your reporter and FWAHC President Marshall also experienced a strong dose of humility when walking from his room to mine with a bottle of scotch and a bottle of bourbon, both open, in hand. As we walked past the desk we were wished a good evening by the desk crew. We understand that as we advance in middle age we are no longer viewed with fear and trembling, but to be viewed as HARMLESS? That is almost unbearable. Among the class winners were Steve Witt, Jerry Trainer, and Jim Stork, with Leo Thietje and Ken Grant also taking awards. The drive home was dry, but Ben Anderson's Sterling made intimate acquaintance with a large dog. The dog died and the Sterling came home on the hook. Score it Sterling 0, Dog 0.
The final driving event of the year was the October Loess Hills Fun Run put on by the Nebraska Triumph Drivers. As always, the event began in Council Bluffs, IA at the KMart and ended in Council Bluffs at the Pizza King Restaurant, with a pleasant drive to the park in Logan, IA in between. The weather was wonderful, the scenery was great, and the fellowship was warm. Thanks, Don and Chuck, for a wonderful event. The leaves have changed and are falling, and the days are getting shorter. Each cool morning reminds us that the time is short until the snow and salt drive us inside for another winter. As we sit by the fire and view the photographs of the year's events we will feel the warm glow experienced while driving a British sportscar yet again. We will be grateful for another successful driving season, and we will begin to dream of the year to come. Two thousand is going to be a great driving year. |
HumorIDIOTS AT WORK... - I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when the clerk noticed that I had never signed my name on the back of the credit card. She informed me that she could not complete the transaction unless the card was signed. When I asked why, she explained that it was necessary to compare the signature on the credit card with the signature I just signed on the receipt. So I signed the credit card in front of her. She carefully compared that signature to the one I signed on the receipt. As luck would have it, they matched. ADVICE FOR IDIOTS - An actual tip from page 16 of the HP "Environmental, Health & Safety Handbook for Employees: "Blink your eyelids periodically to lubricate your eyes." IDIOTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD - I live in a semi-rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road. The reason: Many deer were being hit by cars and he no longer wanted them to cross there. IDIOTS IN FOOD SERVICE - My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the individual behind the counter for "minimal lettuce." He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg. IDIOT SIGHTINGS |
