I'm hanging these around the plant today.

 

Morning all,
One more day !

Cypher

 

Looks good Chris !

Cypher

 

I know I for one am proud of you.

 

Pretty soon I’m going to get pissed off, and when I do, someone isn’t going to be very happy.
My patience and good will are being tested.

 

I quoted the wrong post, but I fixed it

Cuz that's what I do

Fix things

 

Oh you da man!














I thought it was @Tacoma Mike that fixed everything

 

I didn't say that I was the only one.

Or that I am good at it.

 

That's what the till doors on the line trucks are for.

 

Went out this morning for the last hurrah...maybe.
Pee soup fog to start with drizzle. Needed that white cane to get to my spot.
Fog cleared out when I was ready to leave.
Field grass is well over my knees while a week ago there was nothing. With that comes the hoards of ticks.
Quiet morning. One bird seen and these two....

 

The Ant and The Grasshopper Revisited !

Here is the olde version and the new 2018 version of this tale that has been emerging!

Two Versions:

The ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER

OLD VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.

The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE OLD STORY:

Be responsible for yourself!

MODERN 2018 VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving..

CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.

How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green ...'

Occupy the Anthill stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the Black Lives Matter group singing, We shall overcome.

Then Reverend Al Sharpton has the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper while he damns the ants. He later appears on MSNBC to complain that rich people do not care.

Former President Obama condemns the ant and blames Donald Trump, President Bush 43, President Bush 41, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and thePope for the grasshopper's plight.

Nancy Pelosi & Chuck Schumer exclaim in an interview on The View that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having; nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to the grasshopper .

The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and peaceful, neighborhood.

The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2018.


I've Posted this Here because I believe that everyone in this age bracket is an ant not a grasshopper !

Make sure that you pass this on to other ants .

Don't bother sending it on to any grasshoppers because they wouldn't understand it, anyway..

Credit for this goes to the writer and sadly I do not know many are credited, but I can not seem to find out exactly which person wrote it.
