Wanna Go Outside

Here's Bella, by the time when she was only two months old, but she knew already to ask for the outside needs, she loved to play a lot, and she adored the backyard (not that much since we moved to Texas). I took the picture with my Samsung Galaxy - S3, not quite a quality camera, and postworked it on the same S3.

The Yellow Train

An antique French train, reconditioned by the Romanian Railroad (CFR).

Today's joke:
A man went skydiving for the first time. After listening to the instructor for what seemed like days, he was ready to go. Excited, he jumped out of the airplane. About five seconds later, he pulled the ripcord. Nothing happened. He tried again. Still nothing. He started to panic, but remembered his back-up chute. He pulled that cord. Nothing happened. He frantically began yanking both cords to no avail. Suddenly he looked down, and he couldn't believe his eyes. Another man was in the air with him, but this guy was going up! Just as the other guy passed by, the skydiver yelled, "Hey, do you know anything about skydiving?" The other guy yelled back, "No! Do you know anything about gas stoves?"

And of course, today's joke!
A guy sits down at the bar and orders drink after drink rapidly. "Is everything okay, pal?", the bartender asks. "My wife and I got into a fight and she said she isn't talking to me for a month!". Trying to put a positive spin on things, the bartender says, "Well, maybe that's kind of a good thing. You know, a little peace and quiet?" "Yeah. But today is the last day".

Today's joke:
 Sandy began a job as an elementary school counselor and she was eager to help. One day during recess she noticed a girl standing by herself on one side of a playing field while the rest of the kids enjoyed a game of soccer at the other. Sandy approached and asked if she was all right. The girl said she was. A little while later, however, Sandy noticed the girl was in the same spot, still by herself. Approaching again, Sandy offered, "Would you like me to be your friend?" The girl hesitated, then said, "Okay," looking at the woman suspiciously. Feeling she was making progress, Sandy then asked, "Why are you standing here all alone?" The little girl said with great exasperation: "Because I'm the goalie!"

And of course, a joke!
John, drunk dead, takes a walk down the street in the middle of the night. He stops in front of the Government. A cop shows up right away: "Keep walking, citizen, you can't stay here". "Why not, Officer?" "Because it is the government headquarters". "So what? I have enough money to buy all the senators and house representatives". John's wife approaches. "Pardon him, officer, that's the way he's acting when he is drunk. He buys all kind of stupid things...."
