I like to sleep in a little later on cold wintry mornings, ‘til about 9 a.m.
My phone number is a 373 and 4 digits. Scammers know that 373 is a number that is prior to the heavy usage of cell phones. Therefore, the person answering is most likely older and more easily willing to listen to a sales pitch.
I’ve figured out how to get rid of some of the early morning phone calls by answering: “Minneapolis Police Department, Detective Hanson speaking.” Then I hear a click as they hang up!!
Per global temperature records, we had the warmest June, July, August, September, October, November, December global records since records have been kept. When skiing behind a boat on various local lakes the month of December 2023 in southern Minnesota, I knew it was warmer than normal.
The telephone number to call if you’re coming to the Valentine's Party at Central Freeborn Lutheran Church on Saturday, February 3rd is 373-8655.
Once again this part of the world is changing too fast tor this old Norwegian. For example: (1) It used to be I could plan on snow the first part of December. (2) Ice fishing was in full swing by the 20th of December. (3) Many mornings, by Christmas morning, the temperature was below zero. (4) This winter, no snow until the morning of January 9 and below zero January 11 with limited ice fishing. (5) Many ducks celebrated January 1st in a local corn bean field and sleeping on the open water area lakes. (As of January 10th most of them have flown south.)
I had never heard the now well-used phrase to describe the aforementioned. “It is what it is.”
Another interesting event that was new to me in Albert Lea. This last November five wild turkeys were escorted across Bridge Street heading east by China Restaurant with a huge Tom Turkey as the leader, The turkeys stopped all vehicles while taking their time. Myself and the rest of the car people just sat there in astonishment. (I didn’t think fast enough to get a picture!)
Read the following five statements and decide which are true and which are false:
A Hell Bender is:
1. A politician pushing to get his pet bill through Congress.
2. A motorcyclist leaning his bike so much, sparks fly from his kick stand when taking a sharp curve on a paved road.
3. A jilted female motorcyclist out to get even!!
4. A salamander living in a creek in Arkansas.
5. A motorcyclist heading home to Hell, Michigan.
Time for a running of the words:
A. Do you know who is the most recent well-known Lady with a free spirit living in the Ellendale area that just retired??
B. Do you know who is the most recent well-known man with usually a black thumb fingernail living the Ellendale area that just retired?
(Hint: Her initials are G.T. and his are A.B.)
