Words from the past: "It's a clever idea, Mr. Bell, but don't wire us, we'll wire you."
Some day the world will end, and those tough Midwesterners sandbagging the Mississippi will say, "We had a worse end of the world back in '99".
"Meanwhile, word of a major event along the San Andreas Fault has reached the 47 contiguous states."
"Ever wonder what Californians do when they aren't fleeing their homes?"
From the files of Western Union, here is the first message ever transmitted by Morse Code from Australia: "/dit dot/dit dot dot/dot dit/walla walla bing bang."
"We hear that the population of China has reached 1.3 billion, or two less than the number of ways to spell General Tso's chicken."
"Saudi Arabia has announced that if the U.S. continues to print pieces of paper that say"Dollar" on them, they will print pieces of paper that say "Oil" on them."

You made my day and got me laughing.
Marlene, thanks. I actually heard you laughing. This happens sometimes when the jet stream is blowing due east from Oregon.

You sound just like my husband on that first one.(smile) He was an avid fisherman, had his favorite spot, too. I can't count the times he'd drag me to the creek bank with him to cast a 'few'. Needless to say, he was always upset when someone beat him to that spot...
Thank you for sharing these thoughts. They take me back...
'Til next time,
Mattie

Loved the Morse code from Australia! Now I can't get that song out of my head.
