Kelvin gets 1 out of 2 on his table manners rating.

Kelvin only needed the fork to shove the pizza into his mouth.

I was in a couple’s home trying to fix their Internet connection.

The husband called out to his wife in the other room for the computer password. “Start with a capital S, then 123,” she shouted back.

We tried S123 several times, but it didn’t work. So we called the wife in.

As she input the password, she muttered, “I really don’t know what’s so difficult about typing Start123.”

I guess Kelvin’s mom never taught him to chew his bites 20 times before swallowing.

Logic suggests that Gary was following the current downstream.

He seems to be looking for Sam. Or was inspired by him.

Gary lost out in the “Biggest Pumpkin” contest, what else was he to do but paddle home?

What a revelation about the age and social connections! Why do you suppose many old people read the obits to see their list of friends dwindling?

Deep dish or thin crust? Not impressed if it’s thin crust – he could have just used the fork and knife to fold the pizza, and picked up the whole wad to cram into his face.

Oh, as a kid I bought a slice or piece of Itacolumite. Nice stone very nice :-) loved to collect stones. I wonder if I still have it.

Was Kelvin even trying for the record, or did he just feel like eating fast?

Pumpkin paddling. We grow some pretty big zucchini in these parts. Maybe I could make some water skis with them.

Is inhaling considered eating? I guess so. Birds and fish do it all the time.

Jimmy Carter — passed away today @ 100 years

“To all of the young people in this nation and for anyone in search of what it means to live a life of purpose and meaning – the good life – study Jimmy Carter, a man of principle, faith, and humility,” Biden said in a statement. “He showed that we are a great nation because we are a good people – decent and honorable, courageous and compassionate, humble and strong.”

A question for Mr. Medina and Mr. Kristensen: Why?

Surf’s Up

A tourist in Hawaii is amazed at how healthy and invigorated he feels after just a few days into visiting the islands…

He strikes up a conversation with one of the locals while they are wading out into the crystal clear, warm surf on yet another perfect island day. “I just cant get over how beautiful this place is,” the tourist says excitedly, “I feel great! I haven’t felt this young and healthy in years! Island life is fantastic!”

The local says, “I know what you mean! Take me for instance. When I came here I was totally bald, didn’t have any teeth and I couldn’t even walk…and look at me now!”

The tourist looks at him and says, “Wow, that’s amazing! How long have you been here?”

And the local says, “Oh, I was born here.”

R.I.P — Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States.

We salute you!
