The Colonel

Here's the elegance and romance of the paddlewheel from a bygone era aboard the Colonel, a triple deck sternwheeler. They say she can hold 750 passengers, which makes her one of the largest paddlewheelers that has ever cruised the Houston - Galveston area. I didn't find any historic page about the Colonel, 'cause I was wondering about the year when this beauty was built.

Today's joke:

It was a small town and the patrolman was making his evening rounds. As he was checking a used car lot, he came upon two little old ladies sitting in a used car.
He stopped and asked them why they were sitting there in the car. Were they trying to steal it?
- Heavens no, we bought it!
- Then why don't you drive it away? asks the cop.
- We can't drive...
- Then why did you buy it? he asked.
- We were told that if we bought a car here we'd get screwed ... so we're just waiting!!!
