I'm a kid at heart and have always enjoyed a good snow fix so if I had heat and power, and a supply of wood for my fireplace, I would have loved being in Buffalo this weekend and maybe you to Betsy.
And now for the humor.
An old German Shepherd starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a panther heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.
The old German Shepherd thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in trouble
now!"
Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately
settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as
the panther is about to leap, the old German Shepherd exclaims loudly,
"Boy, that was one delicious panther! I wonder, if there are any more
around here?"
Hearing this, the young panther halts his attack in
mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees.
"Whew!," says the panther, "That was close!
That old German Shepherd nearly had me!"
Meanwhile, a squirrel who had been watching the whole scene
from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it
for protection from the panther. So, off he goes.
The squirrel soon catches up with the panther, spills the
beans and strikes a deal for himself with the panther.
The young panther is furious at being made a fool of and
says, "Here, squirrel, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to
that conniving canine!"
Now, the old German Shepherd sees the panther coming with the
squirrel on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?," but
instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers,
pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to
hear, the old German Shepherd says...
"Where's that squirrel? I sent him off an hour ago to
bring me another panther!"
Moral of this story...
Don't mess with the old dogs... Age and skill will always
overcome youth and treachery!
Cunning and brilliance only come with age and experience.
NEW TV
Since I hate to go shopping, especially for electronic stuff, I asked some friends for their suggestions, did a little online research, then sent Bev, Reece (granddaughter), and her boyfriend off to Knoxville to get a new TV. While I'm sure they got the best deal, they came home with an LG 4K OLED Smart TV costing about three times my expectations, but oh well, Bev loved the picture and she has her own money.
It's a far cry from the first TV we got in the early 1950's that looked something like this.

Have a
great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.

Wow that looks so nice and comfy, and I complain here in Florida at 50 its been freezing! Keep warm with your fire looks nice
ReplyDeleteGreat post, and I'm with you. I would have loved to have been in that snow in NY. Love a good weather event like that. Congrats on the television. And I do remember those little tv's with the antenneas. How far we've come. Our temps have been in the single digits here and there, so I have to chuckle about Claudia complaining about 50's being freezing.
