SENIOR MOMENTS

Quick ALTZHEIMERS Test
The following was developed as a mental age assessment by the School of Psychiatry at Harvard University . Take your time and see if you can read each line aloud without a mistake. The average person over 40 years of age cannot do it!
1. This is this cat.
2. This is is cat.
3. This is how cat.
4. This is to cat.
5. This is keep cat.
6. This is an cat.
7. This is old cat.
8. This is fart cat.
9. This is busy cat.
10. This is for cat.
11. This is forty cat.
12. This is seconds cat.
Now go back and read the third word in each line from the top down.

So, tonight I had a real Senior Moment. I'm in my local Starbucks. I stop off at the counter with the cream & sugar.I put cream & sugar in my cup and I set the lid on the counter ( as always), so I can come back and adjust my coffee. I proceed to the counter. The girl at the counter says we are just ready to brew a fresh pot. While I'm waiting I go out to my truck to continue listening to an NPR program they are doing on the aging population and senior memory. Five minutes later I go back to the counter and with about six people behind me I hand the girl my cup. She fills it with coffee and hands it back to me. I pay her and everything is going well up to this point. I then take the two quarters I'm clutching for the tip jar and without giving a second thought I drop them in my now full cup of coffee, which proceeds to splash all over the counter. She is now looking at me in utter disbelief, and the 6 people behind that watched this transpire are doing their best not to bust out laughing. She then asks with polite smile if I'd like her to rinse out the cup so I can start over . At this point it sinks in what I had just done and I am now laughing so hard at myself I can barely manage "That would be nice"

"Who were them fellers?"

Imagine my surprise, when viewing the "American Idol" finale, and Steve Martin showed up on my screen. He was accompanied by some nefarious hillbilly types, including one white haired feller with a white goatee playing mandolin. He looked kinda familiar, sorta like somebody I 'members playing banjo with Steve by reaching over to fret the strings of his while still fingering his own instrument (usually a banjo). This legerdemain was occasionally interspersed with the sudden appearance of "Flash Paper" and jokes by that dynamic duo. That was back at the Mecca. Great job, Johnny. I heard the disbelief in Ryan Seacrest's voice when he spoke to Steve at the end of the performance. It never ceases to amaze me how TV types are perpetually surprised that an actor, comedian or musician can actually be multi-talented. Go figure.

SDS

For you information, knowing that many of you many readers are quite confused at what the below picture could possibly be, let us explain. This is a SDS (Solar Dehydration System), held to the LS (Linear Supports) with the use of quite a few MR's (Modular Retainers).
Feel free to ask question's, we here at the ranch will be happy to share our solar technique's with you.

Getting Ready!

This just in from Bob:




As you can see, we are getting ready for the reunion.

The Greening of the Paradox

This year, we plan to green our get together, and want to encourage everyone to do their part. We are going to buy more things in bulk (e.g., large water jugs, a keg for the beer, etc.), and will only have a minimal amount of disposable items available. This will not only help the planet, but will also help Bob and Helen with clean-up after the event.

We are encouraging everyone to bring their own plates, cups, utensils, etc. for meals. We'll provide areas where you can wash up afterward.

We'll also be selling reusable, commemorative "We are the Paradox" travel cups and plates as part of our porta-potty fundraiser for those who want to contribute that way and have something to take home with them. I'm also collecting utensils that can be washed and reused so that we can stay away from plastics.

It's getting close. It's getting exciting!

I hope you made a wish

Happy Birthday Uncle Bob Hope It's a Good One
