A woman gets into a cab and tells the cabbie to take her to the airport. He says," You are the third pregnant woman in a row that I have taken to the airport. " She indignantly replies,"I'm not pregnant !" To which he retorts,"We're not at the airport yet either."

There is currently a backlash against bottled water in some quarters. It stems in part from environmental concerns. Now some eateries in New York City are offering purified tap water at $5.00 to $6.00 per glass. The high cost, in part, is due to the fact that these establishments have to purchase filtration equipment. Read all about it at Gothamist under the headline "Price of Water Skyrockets". Would you ever have forseen this occurence ? I admit that I would not have had that foresight.

He lays there,
A young soldier recently dead,
In a blood soaked shell crater
As his friends frantically hurl themselves
at menacing razor wire
Behind which equally young men
Methodically kill them with surprisingly little effort
On a lovely summer's day.

on a green pond,
fish down below smiling.
I am a passionate habitue of libraries. To me , they are sacred places just as are churches,temples, mosques et cetera. In many libraries, there is a children's department and the first library to have a children's department was the Minneapolis Public Library back in 1893. In my opinion, we cannot spend enough money to maintain and enhance library facilities. They benefit the public and enhance the flow of learning and knowledge.
If you want to visit a nice Canadian town located in Newfoundland, then by all means try a town that welcomes tourists. The town of Dildo is small and charming . In the twentieth century it was a whaling center and it has been named one of the prettiest small towns in Canada. And, truth be told, the name kind of grows on you, eh ?
