Friday Rant

Most of my rants are commenting on one thing or another, and I usually give a dissenting opinion. Today however, I would like to share a more personal experience that was really touching.

We were driving down Route 27 in Florida, heading north last week, and as we entered the turn off lane for our exit, a Mother Quail and her five Chicks were at the side of the road about to enter the roadway. I slowed, put on my emergency blinkers, and stopped as they walked in front us. I then fearfully looked to my left. Route 27 is an extremely busy road and they had 7 more lanes to navigate.

One after another, these huge tractor trailers came to a halt until all four lanes going north were blocked. There was a stop light about a half mile ahead, and the traffic was stopped there.

When the chicks crossed the median, the light going in the other direction turned green. In the first lane they entered, the driver saw the mother and her chicks and came to a stop. Phew, I thought, but did not hold up much hope for them getting across the next three lanes.

With my heart in my throat, I saw one person speed by in the adjacent lane as they were walking across the first. The next person saw them and also stopped as they continued on their way. The drivers in the next two lanes also saw what was happening, and they stopped as well.

Now, get this – there were 8 lanes of traffic stopped, with everyone watching this unfold. They made it. I’m sure the people behind all the stopped vehicles were wondering what had happened.  When the traffic started to move, the people behind had no idea of what had happened.

But you know what – isn’t nature wonderful. And I take off my hat to all those people who were caring enough to stop, and enjoy what we all shared.

Spelling

Have you ever wondered about how you're supposed to spell Internet and e-mail? You know, is Internet supposed to be capitalized and is there a hyphen in e-mail or not?

The Internet is actually considered to be a proper noun and in the English language, most proper nouns are capitalized. So, in short, the word Internet should always begin with a capital letter. If you haven't been using a capital I, don't worry. You're not the only one!

As far as the term e-mail goes, it is accepted with and without a hyphen. However, according to the Dictionary, the correct spelling is actually e-mail, with a hyphen. Why is that, you ask? Well, the word e-mail is composed of two different words (electronic and mail), so the hyphen helps separate them for a more correct spelling. Who knew?

Are you overweight and sick and tired of the way you look?  Have you tried those so called "Miracle Plans", that just don't work?  it might be time to get serious.  You can have the body you want.

You need the proper diet and exercise program to accomplish your goals.  Anyone can do it!  All you have to bring to the table is the ability to follow simple instructions, and the desire to change.

Picture Menu
=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I stopped at the local Burger King for a cold drink and was reading the menu over the counter. I noticed a sign to the side that stated "Picture Menu Available".

I had to ask the clerk what it was for and she told me that they had a number of customers who couldn't read and they used that.

Of course I asked how they would know this picture menu was available and her answer was the classic, "Well, it says so on the sign, doesn't it?"

My brother Ken was home on leave from his post in Hawaii, when he announced that he had just been promoted to lieutenant commander. We were all pleased with the news, but some of us less knowledgeable about military rankings asked Ken to explain what the promotion meant.

After several failed attempts to get us to understand, he sighed and said, "Before, I was Hawkeye Pierce, but now I'm Frank Burns."

Expressions of understanding immediately lit the room.

Pinocchio, Snow White, and Superman are out for a stroll in town one day. As they walked, they come across a sign: "Beauty contest for the  most beautiful woman in the world."

"I am entering!" said Snow White. After half an hour she comes out and  they ask her, "Well, how'd ya do?"

"First Place!" said Snow White.

They continue walking and they see a sign: "Contest for the strongest  man in the world."

"I'm entering," says Superman. After half an hour, he returns and they  ask him, "How did you make out?"

"First Place," answers Superman. "Did you ever doubt?"

They continue walking when they see a sign: "Contest! Who is the  greatest liar in the world?" Pinocchio enters.

After half an hour he returns with tears in his eyes.

"What happened?" they asked.

"Who is this Nancy Pelosi?" asked Pinocchio.
