Strange Saturday

The answer to yesterday's Who Am I was Yoshiko Uchida.

I wanted to continue the light news of yesterday so labeled today Strange Saturday. I was kind of worried about finding enough strange stories to share. Not a worry. Now I am having trouble deciding which strange stories to share. I eliminated the story about the woman that fought off a bear with a zucchini because it has already been told in several other places. I didn't really get past this headline to read the story: "Viagra in rats slows jet lag." I mean flying rats with woodies just might not by appropriate for the blog. I also ignored in your pants arrest stories. One man was arrested for hiding string cheese in his pants. Now if he would have gotten together with the guy who got arrested with chicken wings in his pants they might have had a good dinner.

I decided to go with a boat ride. One that I most likely will not be taking:

Because of most of today's stories today are short I'm going with more than three today. The following two stories are self-explanatory:

I kind of feel a little empathy for the following story.

For me the rest of today is lunch with Mom and then off to do her grocery shopping. Afterwards I will be participating in one of my occupations, future lottery winner. Then it will be continuing the recovering the data process from my computer crash. I want to be done by five so I can watch the football game between the undefeateds, The Oregon Ducks vs. The Stanford Cardinals.

Your comments are wanted, welcome, and always appreciated. Hope your day is filled with fun tasks and happy events.

The boat sure looks weird. I think I'd have declined to be on its maiden voyage. The drunk driving story reminds me of one I heard this morning:

A man is stopped by police for texting while driving. He considers his wife better at excuses than himself, and tells her to do the talking. Her excuse for not making him put the phone down? "I've learned never to argue with him when he's drunk."

I hope you get your computer up and functioning again. Crashes are SO frustrating! Oh, and lotsa luck on the Lottery. What a worthy occupation! {g}

There's nothing on TV tonight, so I'll watch a depressing movie, THE ROAD. I read the book, so there'll be no surprises, but I do like Viggo Mortenson a lot.

Hi Pat

If I went on that boat I'd learn to swim first.

Your story about the wife and her husband made me laugh out loud.

I'm not sure I will be able to get the computer up and running but I'm getting the data off of it. I have two computers so just getting the data on the one that is working. I always keep two computers in case one breaks down during tax season. I just am very lax at making sure both computers have the same information on them. I am going to better at that in the future.

I have to wait until Wednesday now to win the lotter since nobody won it last night.

I've never heard THE ROAD. I'm trying to say away from depressing.
I also like Morteneson. One of those very underrated actors.
