As I’m sure you all know, and as comes to nobody’s surprise, an incredibly huge strike has taken place against Iran early this morning (our time) and during the daylight hours Iran time. Those of us who are in the game saw this coming from way back and most of the rest of the world saw it over the last couple of weeks.

I was off by three days in the pool. I had Tuesday. I would NOT have guessed a daylight strike, that’s shows a LOT of confidence, although it does give the civilians a better chance to take cover. 

From what I can see, they are all military targets, even the ones that are in the cities are key military figures. Sadly, there are going to be innocent victims, that’s unavoidable.

Rumors of assassinations, and such are on the news, but it’s still very early, by the time you read this I’m sure much more will be known.  Iran is firing missiles not only at Israel, (135 at last count, 1 of which got through) but at OTHER gulf states. Which is really angering the other states. I figure they are targeting American bases, but I don’t think they are landing where they want them to.

Anyway, there may be an update later, but for now, let’s get to the reason we’re here.

Oh! Thanks for the pictures Chuck! 

And I’m not saying the picture in the header is me helping out … cause that would be breaking my non-disclosure agreement, just thought it was a cool picture.

Well, maybe not at the bottom, but further on in the ezine.

Special to all my nurse friends out there!!!

Rumored to be a picture of the human form of Impish Dragon from 17 years ago.  Not proven true.

Some really cool and unusual stuff in this next video:

Just heard that Israel is reporting that the Iranian supreme leader has been killed. Not sure that’s going to make much of a difference. This regime has functioned quite well with their leadership taken out in the past. When one rat dies, another steps up to take his place. We’ll see I guess.

Now I’m conflicted on how this guy should be charged when he gets caught.

Rumored to be yet another picture of Impish Dragon in his human form from about 17 years ago.

No…no, he’s not.

T’were better that most people remember that!

I can see a pattern developing here…

How apropos. 

Iowa, Fort Madison Law

The fire department is required to practice fire fighting for fifteen minutes before attending a fire. 

So…we’re not done with Bob yet, I see …

Once upon a time, in Colorado, the chief of an Indian tribe, I believe it was the Navajos, had a very beautiful daughter.  

She was of marrying age, and many, many braves were wanting the daughter’s hand in marriage.  

Well, being a wise chief, he decided that he wanted his daughter to marry the bravest and strongest and wisest brave of the bunch.  So he held a contest.  

All the eligible bachelors were to go hunting and the brave that brought back the biggest and best catch would be given the chief’s daughter in marriage. 

A lot of braves turned out for this event.  

On Monday morning they all set out, bows and arrows in hand.  

Well, on Tuesday afternoon, all the braves had brought their killings in except for three: Running Bear,Sitting Bull, and Falling Rock. 

On Wednesday morning, Running Bear brought in a really big black bear,weighing 480 pounds and 7 foot in length.  

The chief was quite impressed.  This was the best killing of all so far.  

But, of course,they had to wait for the remaining two before he could award his daughter to Running Bear. 

Well, on Wednesday night, Sitting Bull brought back a really, really big cougar, even bigger than the black bear that Running Bear had come home with.  

The cougar weighed 620 pounds and was 7 1/2 feet long.  

Clearly,Sitting Bull was about to win the chief’s daughter’s hand in marriage. Excitement rose within the camp.  

Everyone was pretty sure that Falling Rock couldn’t top Sitting Bull’s catch! 

Thursday came and went ….. 

Friday came and went …..
Saturday came and went ….. 

The weeks turned into months and the months into years,and still Failing Rock did not return. 

It was obvious, the chief couldn’t wait forever for Falling Rock to return.  

So he granted his daughter to Sitting Bull and they lived happily ever after, and the tribe no longer waited for the wayward brave, but they did keep their eyes open when out on the trails. 

And even today you will still see in Colorado those signs that say, 

“Watch for Falling Rock.”

Ok, it’s official.  I’m getting old.

The other day I was walking back to my car from the grocery store. 

Coming into the store was this smoking hot 19, maybe 20 year old, blonde. God, she was hot. 

My thought?  “I wonder what her mother looks like.

This one was sent in by our own Joe from NJ … aka  … well … I’ll let you make the connection

One day, Joe Landi decided to go to a new golf course where no one knew him, just to get away and see if he could do better elsewhere. 

He hired a caddy to guide him around the course. 

After another day of slices, duff shots, misread putts and bad temper, he was obviously upset. 

He turned to the caddy and said, “You know I must be the worst golfer in the world.” 

The caddy replied, “I think not sir, I have heard there is a guy named Joe Landi from across town who is the worst player ever!”

Billy Ray lines up his three young sons out behind the barn. He’s got his arms folded, jaw tight, and that look on his face that says somebody’s about to have a long afternoon.

“All right,” he says slowly, “which one of y’all pushed the outhouse over the cliff?”

The boys stare at the dirt. One studies his boots like they’ve suddenly become fascinating. Another kicks a rock. The youngest pretends he didn’t hear.

Billy Ray’s voice gets louder.

“I said, who pushed the outhouse over the cliff?”

Still nothing. Not a whisper. Just nervous shuffling and a whole lot of avoiding eye contact.

Billy Ray sighs and rubs his temples. “Fine. Let me tell y’all a story.”

The boys glance up cautiously.

“It’s about George Washington and his daddy. Now, George chopped down a cherry tree. When his daddy asked him about it, George told the truth. And because he told the truth, his daddy didn’t punish him.”

Billy Ray pauses, letting that sink in. He nods thoughtfully, like he’s just delivered the moral of the century.

“So,” he says calmly, “I’m gonna ask one more time. Who pushed the outhouse over the cliff?”

There’s a long silence.

Finally, the youngest boy raises his trembling hand. “I did, Pa. I pushed the outhouse over the cliff.”

Billy Ray’s face turns red. “All right then. You can spend the rest of the day cleaning out the stalls while the rest of us go fishing.”

The boy’s lip quivers. “But Pa… when George Washington told the truth, he didn’t get punished. Why am I gettin’ punished?”

Billy Ray takes a deep breath and shakes his head.

“Because when George Washington chopped down the cherry tree… his daddy wasn’t in it!”

Another very cool video

Oh!  I almost forgot!

I saw a pack of Gummy Worms that read, “No artificial flavor.”

Who buys gummy worms hoping they’d taste as close to real worms as possible?

So…does nobody else find it funny how both America and Europe got invaded and overwhelmed by mass illegal migration at the same exact time?

That’s not a coincidence, that doesn’t just happen, especially on a scale this large.

This was planned, funded and then executed.

But planned, funded and executed by who?

And why?

And that’s it.  Still watching the news. Another missile has struck Tel Aviv.  So far, no American or Israeli casualties.  Surprising support from all the other Arab nations and most of the rest of the world.  The UN is having an emergency session, but the UN is mostly a toothless organization at this point in time. So, until next time, my dear friends …
