As I am setting here enjoying the rain and cool weather listening
To the sounds of war.  It reminds me of floating down a river in Nam,
While they laid carpet-bombing in the jungle near by?
The dog has been under the bed for two days…
I was reading the last of today’s EX and the last of the article about the Lions
And the fireworks stand? They have two and expect to make $10 grand each.
On the second part of the article, U know who they give the money to???
A group that helps hearing impaired people????????
They also help people with, EYE injuries ????????
Well I left one of my eardrums in a 20mm gun turret, and the other on a rifle
Range, so I do relate of course I was fighting a war, or at least a Pooolicccee action?
The boy scouts should talk with the Lions, they hope to make $3,000
Do the Lions serve drinks???

.......it was raining "like a cow urinating on a flat rock"..........REALLY coming down.......and to my amazement?.......sonic booms were  shaking the windows.....probably the SAME ones that you were hearing mminoe.......they must be in their garage or something.......that;s dedication.......concerning the circular logic of the Lions?......and irony of it?.......putting a positive spin on it?......I guess it's better to give something to these people (hearing impaired and eye injuries) than  to merely fatten a bank account .....although we know some charities skim......my ex wife was hearing impaired since birth ......as was her sister......it gave me a whole new appreciation for the world that these people learn to live in......to learn to speak clearly so uneducated idiots dont' make fun of them.....and how the school system thought she was retarded for the first two years of school......so anything that anybody wants to give to these causes?.......good with me.....as with you I'm sure......you were just pointing out the irony......my German Shepard used to break her double chain and jump her 6 foot fence from fireworks......my friend's dog would shake, jump out second story windows........the 4th would be OK with me......the week before and after?...........sometimes when I am still awake at 2:00 am from their inconsideration?......I feel like waiting till THEY fall asleep......about 3:00 am or 4:00am......and going to thier house and playing my trumpet ....till they come out and say "what the heck are you doing?.......I'm trying to sleep."................didn't get the last comment ......"Do the Lion's serve drinks?"........meaning ....."let's get'em drunk too when they put off the fireworks?'.......

......ROFL.....I get it now........that would explain the disparity.....maybe they're gonna do like that stand somewhere else.....have bikini clad fireworks experts ........sellling their wares..............helping men study the products...........I'm guessing there will  be grocery bags of fireworks being carried out of those tents.....maybe the "Optimist Club" is lending the "Lions" a hand.........
