Hooray, Hooray

Tomorrow is the first of May.

It always makes me think of Marge. Marge was a woman who I worked with for years. I mentioned her in this blog last year when she passed away. She was a unique individual. She worked her ass off and would make sure you knew it. She would do anything for you, was faithful to a fault, and she knew who she was. There was a wrong way to do things and there was Marge's way. She loved the Pittsburgh Steelers. She loved a good stiff drink ( or multiples thereof). Her favorite "superstar" was Eddie Rabbitt ( does anybody else remember him?)

Anyhow... every year on the first day of May, Marge would come into the office and yell;

"Hooray, hooray, it's the first of May. Outside intercourse starts today!

So in memory of Marge... Tom, Ilona, Rob, MaryEllen, Jan, & anyone else reading this blog who knew Marge; Make sure you yell it tomorrow. In fact... even if you didn't know Marge... yell it anyhow. You would have liked her.

Global Warming

When I was in the fourth grade, our teacher ( Mr. Shane) spent a substantial amount of time teaching us about the environment. Mr. Shane was ahead of his time in many ways. Having an interest in the environment is just one example.

I remember being both fascinated and terrified at the information that he provided us regarding the pending condition of life on the planet Earth. Of course his information was not self-manufactured, he had done substantial research and everything he spoke about was backed up by what was being reported on the news and in print.

Bottom line... The Earth was cooling too fast. Additionally, it was predicted that by the time we would be seniors in high school (1972) there would be no more gasoline.

I'm really not in much of a mood to write alot today, so I will provide a photo to make my point.

Today's date is April 7, 2007, and this is the view out my back door in "Sunny" Cleveland, Ohio
