Sky Watch Friday!!

Time to share your skies, the beauty over your world, the clouds, the colors! Sky Watch is hosted each week by  the Sky Watch team of  Sandy and I. And this week as every week, we remember Klaus and know that he joins us in spirit! Join us and the many people from all over the world who share theirs with us each week! I just happened to look out the window a couple of evenings ago and what I saw took my breath away! It had been a rather gloomy, dull day sky wise and I hadn't expected to have much of a sunset. As you can see, I was SO wrong! Hope you enjoy!

Time to Laugh Again!

THREE WOMEN, TWO YOUNGER, AND ONE SENIOR CITIZEN, WERE SITTING  IN A SAUNA.

SUDDENLY THERE WAS A BEEPING SOUND. THE YOUNG WOMAN PRESSED HER FOREARM AND THE
BEEP STOPPED.

THE OTHERS LOOKED AT HER QUESTIONINGLY. "THAT WAS MY PAGER," SHE SAID. "I HAVE A MICROCHIP UNDER THE SKIN OF MY ARM."

A FEW MINUTES LATER, A PHONE RANG. THE SECOND YOUNG WOMAN LIFTED HER PALM TO HER EAR.

WHEN SHE FINISHED, SHE EXPLAINED, "THAT WAS MY MOBILE PHONE. I HAVE A MICROCHIP IN MY HAND."

THE OLDER WOMAN FELT VERY LOW-TECH. NOT TO BE OUT DONE, SHE DECIDED SHE HAD TO DO SOMETHING JUST AS IMPRESSIVE. SHE STEPPED OUT OF THE SAUNA AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM.

SHE RETURNED WITH A PIECE OF TOILET PAPER HANGING FROM HER REAR END.

THE OTHERS RAISED THEIR EYEBROWS AND STARED AT HER.

THE OLDER WOMAN FINALLY SAID.........."WELL, WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT......I'M GETTING A FAX!!"

 Rye  Bread (stamina)

Two  old guys, one 80 and one 87, were sitting  on a park bench one morning.

The 87-year-old had just finished his morning  jog and wasn't
even short of breath.

The 80-year-old was  amazed at the guy's stamina and asked
him what he did to have so  much energy.

The 87-year-old said, "Well, I eat rye bread  every day. It keeps
your energy level high and you'll  have great stamina with the   ladies."

So, on the way home the 80-year-old stopped at the  bakery.
As he was looking around, the saleslady asked if he  needed any  help.

He said, "Do you have any rye  bread?"

She  said, "Yes, there's a whole shelf  of it. Would you like some?"

He said, "I  want 5 loaves."

She said, "My  goodness, 5 loaves! By the time you get to the 3rd loaf, it'll be  hard."

He  replied, "I can't believe everybody  knows about this shit but  me."

Evening, Wisdom and Beauty!!

Across the street from my apartment complex this afternoon there was a man caught with a gun and homemade bombs. It was pretty frightening seeing the bomb squad in helmets and protective gear, guns drawn and hearing the bombs explode. Fortunately no one was injured as the police managed to get the gun and the bombs before anyone was hurt. Needless, to say,  it has been a frightening afternoon! This is the second such incident in the past month.

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
