Are we ready for this?

I can't believe it's that time again. This has been one fast year. Everyone says time goes by faster as you get older so I guess I'm fitting the mold.

I've been busy wrapping pipes with heat tape, installing tank heaters for my horses, covering hay stacks, and resealing my roof. It takes time but will save time and misery when it really does get cold.

The cattle are all off the mountain now and the deer are moving into the fields at night, so I guess they know it's time to hole up for winter. I think I'll hole up myself as much as possible since old injuries are hurting with the cold. I can spend more time playing on the internet.

Since we're talking internet I've shifted gears again. I fell into the old habit of spending more than I was earning again, so I went back to my old standby few that are cheap or free, and run pretty much on auto-pilot. Here's my best. http://vur.me/2205/kk

A little long, but here's some interesting humor.

In Order Of Stupidity...

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

On a Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping. (Darn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair).

On a bag of Fritos -- You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special)?

On a bar of Dial soap -- "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that would be how???.....)

On some Swanson frozen dinners -- "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's "just" a suggestion).

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -- "Do not turn upside down." (well...duh, a bit late, huh)!

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding - "Product will be hot after heating." (...and you thought????....)

On packaging for a Rowenta iron -- "Do not iron clothes on body." (but wouldn't this save me more time)?

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine -- "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness..." (and...I'm taking this because???....)

On most brands of Christmas lights -- "For indoor or outdoor use only." (as opposed to...what)?

On a Japanese food processor -- "Not to be used for the other use." (now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)

On Sainsbury's peanuts -- "Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a news flash)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts -- "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)

On a child's Superman costume -- "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)

On a Swedish chainsaw -- "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals." (Oh my God...was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. It's perfect when it arrives, so use it wisely.
