Pull Over CookiesReturning from a trip to visit
my grandmother in Canada, I wasstopped by a state trooperin New York for exceed-ing the speed limit.
Grateful to havereceived a warninginstead of a ticket, Igave him a small bag ofmy grandmother's deli-cious chocolate-chip cookies and
proceeded on my way.A short time later, I was
stopped by another trooper."What have I done?" I asked.
"Nothing," the troopersaid, smiling. "I justheard you were passingout great chocolate-chipcookies."
Getting OlderAmy and Jane are old friends.
They have both been married to
their husbands for a long time.
One day Amy wasupset because she thought her hus-band didn't find her attractive any-more.
"As I get older he doesn't both-er to look at me!" Amy cried.
"I'm so sorry for you, as I getolder my husband says I get morebeautiful every day." replied Jane.
"Yes," answered Amy, "butyour husband's an antique dealer!"

Johnny In The GardenLittle Johnny sat playing in the garden.
When his mother came out to collect him,she saw that he was slowly eating a worm.She turned pale. "No, Johnny! Stop! That's horri-
ble! You can't eat worms!"Trying to convince him further she noted, "The
mother worm is looking all over for her nice babyworm.""No, she isn't," said Johnny."How do you know she's not?" said the mother."Because I ate her first!" he answered.

The Grumpy Old ManAn old man and woman were
married for many years.Wheneverthere was a confrontation, yellingcould be heard deep into thenight. The old man would shout,"When I die, I will dig my way upand out of the grave and comeback and haunt you for the rest ofyour life!"
Even the neighbors fearedhim, and the old man liked thefact that he was feared.
He died of a heart attackwhen he was 98. His wife had aclosed casket at the funeral.
After the burial, her neigh-bors, concerned for her safety,asked, "Aren't you afraid that hemay indeed be able to dig his wayout of the grave and haunt you forthe rest of your life?"
The wife said, "Let him dig. I
had him buried upside down. AndI know he won't ask for direc-tions."
The New GolferA retiree was given a set of
golf clubs by his co-workers.Thinking he'd try the game,
he asked the local pro for lessons,explaining that he knew nothingwhatever of the game.
The proshowed him thestance and swing,then said, "Just hitthe ball toward theflag on the firstgreen."
The noviceteed up andsmacked the ballstraight down thefairway and onto
the green, where it stopped inchesfrom the hole.
"Now what ?" the fellowasked the speechless pro.
"Uh... you're supposed to hitthe ball into the cup." the profinally said, after he was able tospeak again.
"Oh great! NOW you tellme," said the beginner.
The Hair CurlersMy wife still uses curlers in herhair after she washes it.
The other night she came intothe Family Room as I waswatching TV.I guess I stared at herfunny because she said, "Ijust set my hair."The last thing I remember
saying was, "Oh,really? And whattime does it gooff?"

Ahcampers. Those thingsthat people either pull,haul or sometimes push
around and which are usually plas-tered with all manner of silly stick-ers, such as:
The Ackermen, Have Home Will Roam, or
You Unravel, We’ll Just Travel, orWhat the Taxman Can’t Find,
He Can’t Fine, orAnother Day Older, We Ain’t
Gettin’ No Colder.The ad in “The Daily Blurb”
claimed that the camper, a 1978WhereWeAt, was only about twodecades old and that, even thoughit was a classic and would surelyshatter the owner's heart to do so,he would sacrifice the little devilfor a mere 927 bucks! I scoffed.The poor guy had no idea what hewould face when haggling with anAckerman.
When I drove out to theowner’s place I recognized himright off by the way he was jump-ing up and down in the drivewayand flapping his arms. Friendlysort. I got the impression that if Ihad driven on past he would havegalloped down the road and carriedme back, truck and all.
“How old did you say it is?” Iinquired, as we strolled to wherethe camper was all but buried bysumac bushes.
“Ain't so old,” he replied, “and
I ain't used it forthree years so it'seven three yearsyoungerthan that.”
I almost felt sorryfor him. We hadn'teven started hag-gling, and I had already talked himout of three years.
From the outside the camperdidn't look too bad.
There were a few rutlikedents in the rear of theroof that he explainedwere for overhanginglimbs. “If you back uptoo far the limbs just
sorta fit right inthem dents.”
There were also a couple littleround holes that looked suspicious-ly like bullet holes but which heassured me were factory ventilationdevices that I would not have topay extra for.
I spun on him. “Does it leak?”I wanted to know.
“Pshaw!” he pshawed. “Not inanything lighter than a dew storm,and then you won't notice it none‘less you're sleepin' in one of thebeds. Great way to wake up. Layright there and wash your face.Gives you a head start on the day.”
I thought I had him for a
minute, but this guy was good.He opened the door and the
screen flopped off and rapped meon the knee.
“Removable,” he said settingthe screen aside. “Real handy forcleanin'. They just don't think ofconveniences like that no more.” Ithought he was going to wipe awaya tear.
We stepped inside and the firstthing he told me was to watch outfor a spot on the floor near the littletable. “Got a hole underneath therug,” he said.
I pounced. “A hole!”“‘Scape exit,” he explained.
“Rotted it out maself. You have afire in here and can't get to the backdoor, you got a 'scape exit rightthere. I sure wouldn't wanna haveone of these things without a 'scapeexit.”
The guy was sharp. I neverwould have thought of somethinglike that.
“This up here,” he explained,taking hold of what looked like abig drawer, “is your over-the-cabbed.” He pulled it out. “Sleepstwo real comfy.”
I cast a dubious eye at what

fully engaged appeared to be aboutthe size of the shelf holding myeighth grade honorable mentionsack race trophy but not nearly sosturdy.
We moved on. “This here,” heran his hand along the salad bowl-sized sink, “is the sink.”
“Uh, yeah. How's it work?”“With water,” he said and then
must have suspected that I had fig-ured out that much. “You got yourten gallon tank down there, andyou got your outside hook-upthingy for when you go to a camp-ground what's got water hook-upthingies. Hook-up runs off thishere handle gizmo, and the tankhas a little 'lectric pump.”
“Oh, say, that is handy. Does itall work?”
“You betcha! All you gotta dois get you a replacement tank and anew hook-up doo-dad. Oh, andmaybe one of them little 'lectricpumps, and you're all set to fly.”
That at least was a relief.“How about the stove?” I asked.
He lovingly caressed the twoburner stove. “Easiest thing in theworld,” he assured me. “Usespropane gas. Turn these little stovehickies here, strike a match andPoosh! you got fire.”
I touched a sizable scorch markon the wall and stove hood.
“Let that be a lesson to you,” hesaid with a sage wag of his head.“Never underestimate the power ofpropane.” We turned to the refriger-ator.
“How's it work?” I asked whenhe opened the door, and I peeredin.
“That's the beauty of it,” hereplied. “It don't.”
“Aha!” I definitely had himthis time.
“Ain't but an icebox,” he said.“You put the ice up here and itkeeps everything cold as youplease.”
“But isn't that rather a lot ofaggravation?” I asked naively.
He gave me one of those pity-ing looks that doctors reserve for
patients they consider terminallystupid. “Ain't nothing can break inan ice box,” he said. “How handyare you fixin' things what break?”
He had me again.
I asked him if my half tontruck could handle the
weight, and he assured methat his one ton truck had
no trouble whatever.
I wanted to know if the doorlocked, and he claimed to haveonce been locked inside for threeweeks …
Naturally the first question mywife blurted when she saw thecamper hunkered in our side yardwere: “What is that thing, howmuch did you pay for it, and areyou crazy?”
I explained to her that it was avintage WhereWeAt truck camperand then went on to show her allthe extras that came free for a mere$927. Such as the fact that half therunning lights didn't work, therebysaving electricity... how none of thewindow cranks worked so therewas no danger of accidentallybumping them open on coldnights...how the closet had a holeeaten through the floor to circulateair and how . . .

Elaine Armstrong looked at her results andsmiled. The tent was up, her tables wereready and covered. She only needed to setout her jars of jams and jellies to be ready
for her first Farmer's Market. She was glad she'd lether friend Paula talk her into this.
"You have to get out more," said Paula. "You'vebeen brooding long enough." Blunt and to the point.Paula was right. She was now able to remember herlate husband Dan with a smile rather than tears. Atleast Paula had given up trying to introduce her toavailable men her age. This suggestion showedprogress on both their parts.
It was a small community and Elaine recognizedsome familiar faces and got some nods of recognitionin return. She was going to have a good day no matterhow much she sold. Then a quick run home to changeand off to Paula's for a birthday celebration for Todd,Paula's husband.
Just as she set four jars on one of her foldingtables, it tilted, a leg gave way and two jars crashed tothe ground. Her reflexes were good enough to catchthe other two before they broke.
She felt tears not too far away. Not an auspiciousstart to her great day. Oh well. She shrugged it offand knelt to pick up the glass shards.
A voice behind her said, "I think you need a screw-driver. The brace has come off that leg. Luckily I justhappen to have one."
She looked up at a tall thin framesilhouetted against the morning sun.
All she could make outwas a large smile.
He moved and she could see the rest of his face. Itwasn't a handsome one exactly, but warmth and humoremanated in beams. Her heart gave an unfamiliar leap.His smile deepened as he held out the screwdriver."May I?"
"Thanks." For a normally talkative woman, Elainefelt suddenly tongue tied. She couldn't explain herreaction. It was almost a feeling of recognition. Thatmust be it! She'd met him before. After all it was asmall community.
In a minute he had the brace reattached."I've seen you before," he said, "In the grocery
aisles."Of course. They'd bumped carts by the produce
section last week. How could she not remember thatsmile? Relieved that she had an explanation for herinitial reaction, she regained her voice.
"I remember. We raninto each other by the petdepartment."
"Nearly knocked overa shelf of cat food." Thatwonderful smile deepened."My cat Charlie has gourmettastes."
"My cat Lucy is pickytoo. If I try to sneak some-thing new past her, she sulksand goes on a hunger strike."
"I'm Ted Somerville,by the way."
"Elaine Armstrong." They chatted long after thetable was reset and the first customers arrived. Thefeeling of recognition deepened. Was this what it feltlike to meet a soul mate?
Later, as Elaine was packing up, she found herselfscanning the passers-by, but Ted had left, gone hometo Charlie.
She reluctantly dressed for dinner. Paula and Toddwere her closest friends and she wanted to help cele-brate Todd's birthday, but her mind kept wandering

back to that tall, slim frame withthe screwdriver in hand.
She arrived at Paula's, presentedher gift and wished Todd manyhappy returns.
"Come on through and meet ourother guest," said Paula.
"Oh Paula, not again." Shegroaned. "I thought you'd givenup."
Then, coming towards her,there was Ted. "Hello, again."
For some reason she blushedand her tongue refused to behave."It's you! I thought Paula was try-ing to set me up again."
Ted laughed. "She was.""You knew it was me at the
Market!" she accused.
"Guilty," He said. "Paula andTodd were the first people I metwhen I arrived in town and shedecided to try her hand at match-
making. I told her 'No more'."Those aren't words Paulareally hears," said Elaine."I know. When she invitedme tonight I made her con-fess what she was up to. Ithought I'd get a sneak pre-view and slipped off to theMarket. Then I recognizedyou.""You were checking meout!""Guilty again. But I knewfrom the moment our cartscollided in the supermarketthat I wanted to see more ofyou. I just didn't know howto go about it till Paula inter-vened.""How did you manage toshow up with a screwdriverjust when I needed one?""That part was just coinci-
dence. My cover for showing up atthe Market was to help a friend setup for his woodworking stall."
Elaine tried hard to ignore thecongratulatory grin on Paula's face.Oh well, it could be Paula's set-updays were over.

“What do youthink happenedhere?” OfficerRobert Packard
asked, gesturing to the remains ofa blaze, recently extinguished.Fire hoses spread across the
parking lot of Al’s Auto Parts.Smoke drifted into the air.“Could have been a lot
worse,” Fire Chief Henry Swiftsaid, pushing back hishelmet. “Luckything someonenoticed andcalled it in.”One corner of
the building wasgone, the restwater-soaked andsoot covered.
“But how’d itstart? Suspicious?”A few years ago,
as everyone knew,Al Morris, the owner,
had been charged witharson and insurance
fraud for burning downhis earlier establishment.
He’d paid his debt and gone backinto business.“I can’t think any man would
try that trick again,” the Chiefsaid, “but it’s looking bad. Ofcourse, we’ll investigate further,but,” he put his finger to the sideof his nose and winked.“Got it. Thanks.” Officer
Packard headed across the lot towhere several people, includingAl, watched the action.Al looked sick. His hands
clenched on the wooden policebarricade.“This is just awful! I’ve
worked so hard to get ittogether again andnow this!”
“Yeah,now this.”Officer Packardlet his tone askthe question.
“You can’tthink I had any-thing to do with
this! I made a hashof things before, but
I’m an honest man now!”“Anybody out to get you? Not
a fan of Al’s Auto Parts?”Al looked at the thin man
beside him, who wore a shirtbearing the company logo.“You were pretty steamed at
me last week when I said I wascutting your hours, Dale.”Dale shook his head. “Yeah,
but I can work extra at the hard-ware store. It’ll be okay.”
Dale looked to the policeman.“We did have an angry cus-
tomer the other day, Officer.”“Who?" Al asked. "Why were
they angry?” “Frank was in to special-order
another part. Got pretty steamedwhen I couldn’t give him a betterprice,” Dale told Al. “It’s not my

in-law noticed an elderlylady slowly pushing a cartthrough the supermarket parkinglot.
Ever courteous, he insisted on
taking it over for her.The woman struggled along-
side, doing her best to keep up.At the entrance, he said,
"Here you go, Ma'am," and gaveher the cart.
Catching her breath, she said,
"Thank you, but I was using it tolean on!"

fault shipping’s so expensive.Those rubber bumpers weigh aton! You know how he gets.”Al nodded, turning to Officer
Packard. “Frank Vogel is restor-ing a sports car. Comes in all thetime to order parts for it. Getsexcitable.”“Enough to burn down your
shop?”“Wouldn’t think so, but—” Al
shrugged.Officer Packard found Frank
at the address Al supplied. Out inhis garage, he was sitting on anoverturned bucket sanding a patchof primer on a 1969 MGB.“Yeah, I’m at Al’s a lot. He
usually works a deal for me, buthe wasn’t in. I had to talk to thatskinny kid. Gave me a hard time,so I gave him one back.
What of it? I might losemy temper,” he said, “butI’m not a pyromaniac.”“Have you known Al long?”
Officer Packard asked.“Ten years, maybe?”“Would you consider him a
friend?”“We’ve tipped back a few
together.” Frank rose slowly fromthe bucket, pulling a rag from hispocket.“Were you friends when he got
in trouble before?”Frank spit on the rag, rubbed it
over a chrome fitting. “If you’re
asking me if I helped him burndown his old business, thatanswer would be no.”Officer Packard turned his
attention to the vehicle, watchingthe man move on to rub the lengthof the back bumper.Frank gave the shiny surface
another swipe with his rag."That's what you call a mirror fin-ish, sir," he said, smiling at hisown reflection.“She’ll be a beaut when she’s
restored,” Officer Packard saidsincerely.“That she will," Frank agreed. Back at the smoldering
remains of Al’s Auto Parts,Officer Packard approached Aland Dale, who were pickingaround the wreckage.Addressing one of the men, he
said, “You’re under arrest for sus-picion of arson.”
"You're crazy!" Dale said. "Ididn't do it! It must have beenFrank.""No, it was you," Officer
Packard said."But—""Because Frank's MGB has
chrome bumpers, so he wouldn'thave been complaining about thecost of a rubber one, would he?"the Officer went on."Dale, why would you do
that? You've ruined me!" Al said,dismayed."Because you cut my hours,
Al!" Dale burst out. "I wassteaming mad at you.""You'll have plenty of time to
cool off down at the station,"Officer Packard said, leading theyoung man away.Looking on, Al shook his head
slowly, then turned back to sal-vage what he could from theremains.

About an hour later the sher-iff and his deputy came into thebarn. The sheriff told his deputy

to go up and check out thehayloft.
When he got up there,the sheriff asked him what he saw.The deputy told him: just threegunnysacks. The sheriff told him tofind out what was in them.
So the deputy kicked the firstbag, which had the first escapee init, and she called out: "Bow-wow,"so the deputy told the sheriff therewas a dog in the first one.
Then he kicked the one withthe second escapee in it and shecalled out: "Meow."
The deputy told the sheriffthere was a cat in the second one.
Then he kicked the third sackand there was no sound at all, sohe kicked it again. The womanfinally called out: "Potatoes."
Doctor’s Visit The doctor was making her
rounds and walked into the semi-private room in the hospital to
examine old Mrs.Williams.After the exam
in her best profes-sional voice, shesaid smoothly,"You are coughingmuch more easilythis morning.""I should," snappedthe patient, "I've
been practicing all night."

Our moon has had a deepeffect on every cultureon Earth. That's not sur-prising; at night, it
draws our attention by its size andbrightness. Do people really go crazy dur-
ing the full moon? Our ancestorsthought so. This is the origin ofthe word "lunatic," which derivesfrom Luna, the Roman goddess ofthe moon. Our ancestors thoughtthat the moon was the cause ofsome people's insanity. Morerecently, it was also thought thatmore people went into hospitalsor committed crimes during thefull moon. However, after numer-ous studies, it has been estab-lished that there is no correlationbetween the full moon and peo-ple's behaviour. Is there a "man in the moon?"
Sometimes the face of the moonlooks like a man. But the moon iscompletely airless, and thereforelifeless. The only time there havebeen men on the moon was duringthe Apollo space program.Landings occurred several timesfrom 1969 to 1972.Do wolves howl at the moon?
Not really. Wolves howl for sever-al reasons: to cry for the pack tomeet up; to signal the packregarding a wolf's location; and asa warning for outside wolves tostay out of a pack's territory.
They are not interested inthe moon; they just standon high places and pointtheir muzzles upwardbecause it makes for
better acoustics.
And werewolves? Sorry, theyexist only in fiction.
We name a day of the weekfor the moon: Monday. The word"month" is also derived from the moon. Many cultures base their year
on a lunar cycle, and although theGregorian (modern) calendar hasmonths that vary in length, it toohas a basis in the lunar cycle. Our months were all the same
length at one point, until someonefigured out that they didn't quitematch up with our revolutionaround the sun, which takes 365(and a quarter) days. That last bitis why we have to add a day everyfour years, which helps us catchup with our calendar. Otherwise,we could end up having our sea-sons shift throughout the year! The moon is the largest natural
satellite in our solar system, rela-tive to its planet. We don't reallyknow what the inside of the moonis made of (we do know it's notgreen cheese!). During the moon landings,
astronauts brought rocks and dustfrom the surface back to earth foranalysis. These rocks are mostlymade of oxygen, silicon, magne-sium, iron, calcium, and alu-

object in our night sky. This is because ithas a high albedo (al-BEE-doh), whichmeans that the light-coloured materialswith which the surface is made reflect the sun's light.
Unlike the Earth, our moon doesnot rotate, so it presents the sameface, scarred by meteor impacts,
to us at all times.
Our only images for the "dark side" of themoon come from the photos that weretaken in space.
Horseshoe SuperstitionAn American scientist once
visited the offices of the greatNobel Prize-winning physicist,Neils Bohr, in Copenhagen, andwas amazed to find that over his desk ahorseshoe was nailed to the wall.
The American said with a nervouslaugh, "Surely you don't believe thathorseshoe will bring you good luck, doyou, Professor Bohr?"
Bohr chuckled. "I believe no suchthing, my good friend. Not at all. I amscarcely likely to believe in such foolishnonsense. However, I am told that ahorseshoe will bring you good luck whether you believe in it or not!"
Lawn OrnamentsCustomer at a counter of a lawn
ornament shop:"Give me four of those pinwheels,
two of those pink flamingos, two of thesunflowers, and one ofthose bent-over grandmain bloomers."Cashier’s reply:
"That'll be eightdollars for the pin-wheels, ten dollarsfor the flamingos,six dollars for thesunflowers, and anapology to mywife!"

By Sharon McGregor
For some reason, marriedfriends take it as a God-given obligation to match up
their single or divorced friendswith old beaux, cronies of theirhusbands, or box-boys they meetcoming out of Safeway. Myfriend Janet, for instance, hasCupid beaten by a quiver.
First she introduced me toDonald, the food faddist. He tookme to a restaurant with a healthfood orientation and ordered thespecial. I saw a plate go by; itresembled the pieces that fellfrom the ceiling the day mydaughter let the bathtub overflow.I had to surreptitiously slip thewaiter a bribe to bring me somereal food.

"Would you like to see what itdoes to your blood vessels?" Heproceeded to show me a medicalchart. He frowned as I reachedfor the salt shaker.

Janet didn't consider her dutyended with one try. She trotted outa smorgasbord of possibilities forme. She'd invite me over for cof-fee and meet me at the door witha firm grip on the arm of aprospect. I recognized the look inher eye. I saw that same plea forapproval every time my cat

Then there wasAlvin, the zoologist."You two have somuch in common," Janet cooed asshe introduced us.

It would help if Icould ever learn tosay 'goodbye', butI'm a natural cow-ard. After a disas-trous date I wouldnever say, "Pleasedon't call me, and ifyou ever set foot inmy street again, I'llcall the police."

She was right. He was terrif-ic.
He took me to dinnerand didn't bat an eyelash
when I had to havethe waiter change our
table due to myclaustrophobia.
He was very supportive when thered rash I developed proved thatthose were, indeed, Brazil nuts inthe dessert.
I took him home afterwardand he didn't appear botheredwhen my son's bike left a scratchon his new car. He didn't evenblink when Hanover, the dog, gotsick on his shoes. At last- herewas a man with sensitivity,
sympathy and understanding.He said he'd call me this

First ImpressionsOne night a teenage
girl brought her newboyfriend home to meether parents, and theywere appalled by his appearance:leather jacket, motorcycle boots,tattoos and pierced nose.
Later, the parents pulled theirdaughter aside and confessedtheir concern. "Dear," said themother diplomatically, "he does-n't seem very nice."
"Oh please, Mom," repliedthe daughter, "if he wasn't nice,why would he be doing 500hours of community service?"

Popping EarsAboard a flight from
L.A. to New York,Grandma Esther was tak-ing her very first flight.
They had only been aloft afew minutes when the elderlylady complained to the stew-ardess that her ears were popping.
The girl smiled and gave theolder woman some chewing gum,assuring her that many peopleexperienced the same discomfort.
When they landed in NewYork, Grandma thanked the stew-ardess.
"The chewing gum workedfine," she said, "but tell me, howdo I get it out of my ears?"

Ellis Bird Farm (EBF) hasteamed up with Dr. KevinFraser of York University(Toronto) on a very excit-
ing project to track the migrationand overwintering patterns ofPurple Martins using light-levelgeolocators (‘backpacks’). Charlie and Winnie Ellis,
founders of Ellis Bird Farm, hadmartins nesting on the farm in the1960s and 1970s. Numbers gradu-ally declined as tree growthcrowded the houses, then a severespring storm in 1982 killed thelast remaining few pairs. The martins returned in 1999
when new houses were put up byEllis Bird Farm under the mentor-ship of a local martin organiza-tion, the Purple MartinConservancy (PMC). Martin numbers have
increased each year and the 70pairs that now nest on the site areenjoyed by over 10,000 visitorseach summer. Needless to say, wewere keen to get involved withthe geolocator project whenextended the invitation by theCamrose Wildlife andStewardship Society. Alberta is ofparticular interest to researchersbecause the birds here are breed-ing at the northern edge of theirrange. In 2012, a total of 22 geoloca-
tors were deployed at EBF and 29in the Camrose area. Under theguidance of PMC our staff assist-ed with trapping and other logis-tics, and Dr. Fraser trained ourteam to quickly and gently attachthe units. The deployments werewatched by a fascinated public aswell as several school groups.Several adults and many thrilledchildren were able to release thebirds, newly outfitted with theirtiny backpacks.
As soon as the martins beganarriving back at Ellis Bird Farm inlate April, 2013, staff and volun-teers—armed with spotting scopesand binoculars— spent hourssearching for returned birds. Wealso put the call out to all martinkeepers in the area, asking themto watch for geo’d birds at theirsites.
With only the tiny probevisible, and then only
when the feathers were ina certain position, thesearch was a challenge.
Finally, on May 15th, we wereable to confirm our first geo’dbird, a female. Using a very hightech capturing system (a long-handled paint roller!), we trappedthe bird, lowered the house andgingerly removed her from hercompartment. In the safety of my office, with
the door closed perchance sheescaped our grasp, we carefully
snipped off her little pack andpackaged it for shipping to Dr.Fraser. Within a few days he had
downloaded the data and, for thefirst time ever, was able to sharewith us the remarkable journey ofthe first northern nesting martin

ever to be tracked. We named thisbird Amelia in honour of theworld’s most famous female avia-tor.
Logging the longestjourney of any martinever recorded, Amelia
travelled over 21,000 kmon her round trip journey
between Brazil andEllis Bird Farm.
The geolocator data showed thatshe left Ellis Bird Farm on August24th, headed east, then turnedsouth, crossed the Gulf ofMexico, spent 28 days in Belizeand then spent the remainder ofthe winter in three different roost-
ing sites in the Amazon Basin. What is most remarkable is
her return to the farm: she leftBrazil on April 24 and rocketedback to Ellis Bird Farm in only 21days, averaging 600 km per day! Over the next few weeks, six
more geo’d birds were captured(five at Ellis Bird Farm and one inCamrose). Maps and travelogueswere created for all units exceptone, which disappointingly had adead battery. Summaries of these journeys
can be found at:www.ellisbirdfarm.ca.

Asthe snow finallybegins to melt aftera very long winter,the Gull Lake
Watershed Society remains veryactive around the lake and is cur-rently undertaking 2 major newinitiatives.The first initiative involves the
stream bed restoration project andthe development of strategic wet-
lands around sensitive areas of thelake.
The majority of nutrientsthat lead to the formationof algae in the lake comefrom runoff in the Gull
Lake watershed.
1. We are initiating consultationwith various land owners aroundsensitive areas of the lake to:- create wetland settling areas fornutrients to be absorbed- restore streams beds that are cur-rently eroding fields and washingnutrients into the lake (see photo). We are receiving very positive
feedback and willingness to workwith us from virtually everyonewe have begun to talk with. If you are a land holder around
the lake and have relevant landsthat could be helped by this initia-tive, contact Craig MacLeod (403-318-6555), Kirk Miller (403-986-8600), Glenn Fraser (403-347-8447) or Keith Nesbitt, the mayorof Parkland Village (403-963-1414).2. The second initiative we areundertaking is the aquifer pro-gram. This is designed to check
the health of the aquifers aroundthe lake through voluntary welltesting of residents. Since many ofthese wells have not been testedfor quite some time, this is prov-ing very helpful to residents.Trevor Wannop, a former
mayor of the Summer Village ofGull Lake is coordinating theproject and can be reached at (403-807-2516). We are recruiting volunteers
for this project and it has providedthe society with an excellentopportunity to talk with residentsaround the lake. Please call if youare willing help out.Water levels remain close to
40 year highs, which is extremelyencouraging. Have a great springand summer at the lake! By Craig MacLeod, President,
Gull Lake Watershed Society.

Failed SpeechA colleague was
invited to hold aspeech in Japan. Aware of hisreputation as a very goodspeaker, he was surprised thathis audience did not react atall to any of his perfectlytimed jokes and witticisms. Infact, the audience did not reactto anything he said.
Somewhat put down, hewent back to his seat and aJapanese gentleman appearedon the stage. This man had aterrific success! Peoplelaughed and applauded, andalthough the original speakercould not understand one bitof what was said, still he start-ed to applaud, as the man evi-dently deserved praise for thisperfect speech.
He was interrupted by thechairman of the conference,"No no, sir. You must notapplaud."
Dumbfounded, he protest-ed: "But why? This man isobviously a very good speak-er."
"No sir, you must notapplaud. He is translating yourspeech."

Wehave amoose thathas decided to
make a free lunch out of ourhaystack. He wanders hisway in and munches on thefeed I bought for myhorse. He makes memad and I wish hecould just wanderhis way right into myfreezer. But I’m not the only one that
is mad at him. He has pretty welltaken up residency in our small,rural community and wandersfrom farm to farm causing havocand spreading hay and moosedroppings in his wake.My problem is, I often feed
my horse early in the morning andlate at night when it is dark. Idon’t relish the idea of accidental-ly surprising the moose as hedines by moonlight.
I know very well thata moose is much moretemperamental thana bear, and often a lot
more dangerous.
A moose would stomp a personinto compost at the slightestprovocation.It was in visiting with my
neighbors about the renegademoose that I found out that I was-n’t the only one that was gettingfed up with this community pest . My neighbor, Jay, said he
stepped outside to find the moosemunching happily on his haystack, and Jay decided he had hadenough. He shouted at his dogs.“Go get him, boys!”Like lightening the two dogs
were off, heading with a loud cho-rus and dogged determination in
the direction of the moose. Jaydecided to step into the
house to get his cameraso he could take a cou-ple of shots of thechase. When the dogsreached the moose, themoose took off for safer
territory. Everythingwas going accord-ing to plan untilthe moose stopped
and seemed to rememberthat he was a moose and that twodogs do not a pack make. Heturned to face them, and the twodogs slid to a sudden halt.At that point the chasee,
became the chaser and the bravebarking became whimpering yelpsof fear. To Jay’s horror, the dogsdecided that the house was theirsafest option and headed at fulltilt for the open door. Jay stood directly in their path
and knew that he too needed toreach the open door, if not before
the dogs, at least before themoose!The moose was closing the
distance between himself and thedogs very quickly. Jay barelyreached the door ahead of thedogs and, when he tried to shut it,they let out yelps of protest as ifto plead, “Let us in! Let us in!”Jay could see the whites of the
moose’s eyes as the last dog slidthrough the door and Jay slammedthe door shut. But the moose wasso hot on the dogs’ trail that Jaywas sure the door would giveway.

Jay threw himself to theside, sure the door wouldbe shattered into pieces
at any moment.
But then everything went quiet,except for the heavy breathing ofthe dogs.Jay looked out the window
and saw the moose eying the dooras if he was considering turning itinto splinters. Then the mooseturned and headed back to thehaystack. One of the dogs, sensing the
moose’s departure, started howl-ing as if he were the victor. Themoose stopped and turned back toeye the door. Jay grabbed thedog’s mouth to shut him up, andthe moose finally returned to hisevening meal.This morning, I went out and
once again found the moose in myhaystack. I looked at my big dogslounging sleepily on the deck. Ilooked at the moose, then at mydogs again. “Nah,” I thought. “It’sjust a little hay.”

Tennis Ball LessonA college professor had
the mysterious habit of remov-ing a tennis ball from his jacketpocket as he walked into the lec-ture hall each morning. He wouldset it on the corner of the podium.After giving the lecture for theday, he would once again pick upthe tennis ball, place it into hisjacket pocket, andleave the room.
No one everunderstood whyhe did this, untilone day ...
A student fellasleep during thelecture. The profes-sor didn't miss aword of his lecturewhile he walked overto the podium, picked up thetennis ball, and threw it, hitting thesleeping student squarely on thetop of the head.
The next day, the professorwalked into the room, reached intohis jacket, removed a baseball ...
No one ever fell asleep in hisclass the rest of the semester!
Count Your BlessingsA group of seniors were sitting
around talking about all their ail-ments at the coffee shop.
"My arms have got so weak Ican hardly lift this cup of cof-fee," said one."Yes, I know," said another.
"My cataracts are so bad, I can'teven see my coffee."
"I couldn't even mark an "X"at election time because my handsare so crippled," volunteered athird.
"What? Speak up! What? Ican't hear you, saidone elderly lady!""I can't turn my
head because of thearthritis in my neck,"said one, to which sev-eral nodded weakly inagreement.
"My blood pres-sure pills make me so
dizzy!" exclaimed another."I forget where I am and
where I'm going," said another."I guess that's the price we
pay for getting old," winced anold man as he slowly shook hishead.
The others nodded in agree-ment.
"Well, count your Blessings,"said a woman cheerfully....

People often ask where I everfound my worn but servicea-ble set of World Book
Encyclopedia, circa 1935. It’s not particularly pretty to
look at, and would not be the ref-erence source to use today foraccurate information. For instanceit refers to uranium as a worthlessmineral. Although old and somewhat
rare, it’s no collector’s item. Ibought it recently at a neighbor-hood garage sale. It was marked$10; I offered $5 and my offerwas accepted. I mean it was agarage sale, ok?Most weekends, there’s a
garage sale within a stone’s throwof your house (at least withinwalking distance or a short drive).Many are a virtual cornucopia of
someone’s most treasured posses-sions for sale at negotiable prices. Others, however, are traps
designed to get unwary shop-pers to pay you for theprivilege of haulingaway your trash.Strangely enough,these two scenariosoften happen at thesame location simultaneously.I like garage sales. I’ve
attended a bunch over theyears and have even jointlysponsored a few with mywife.
At our last garage sale wesold over $500 worth ofstuff; unfortunately we
got only $32 for it.
Garage sales typically start
and end early. They’re mostlyorganized haphazardly and alwaysoffer a few items that make youwonder what their original pur-chasers were thinking. The sellersare either perky and friendly orbored and surly, depending uponwhat time you show up and
how things aregoing. Buyers who arrivewhen the salebegins tend to be
focused and usuallywalk off with the beststuff; latecomers aremore relaxed andmeandering, and usu-ally just walk off.
Most prices areflexible. Few sellers take checks.And no one likes early birds,those people who show up beforethe advertised start time. Of course garage sales are
traps; baited with legends.Everyone knows at least onegarage sale story of an incredible
No Earlybirds! No Earlybirds!

The EntrepreneurWalter chuckled and rubbed his hands
together. “You seem happy,” said his girlfriend. “I am. I just increased the value of my car by
a couple thousand bucks.”“No kidding? How’d you do that?”Walter put a finger to his lips. “Promise you
won’t tell?”“Well…okay.”Walter grinned and said in a whisper, “I sold it
to a used car lot.”“Sold it? How’d that help its value?”“Simple. I bought it back for two thousand
more.”
End of the TrailMartin penetrated the shadowy recesses of the
building with slow, purposeful steps. The thrill ofthe hunt had taken hold, and his eyes were watch-ful, looking everywhere, He’d find her here – hewas sure of it. And when he did—Wait! Yes, there she was. At last. His fingers
snaked out, grabbing her, squeezing her spine with ashaking hand. “Got you,” he whispered as he tookthe long sought first edition off the used bookstoreshelf.
Second ThoughtsLoud, animal-like sounds poured from their
throats as they closed in. What am I going to do?Robert thought, as he looked wildly foran avenue of escape. He’d faced difficultsituations before, but he didn’t see howhe could survive this one.They were almost upon him!Robert put his head down and did the
only thing he could do – run. Never againwould he play quarterback.
DefenselessThe masked man leaned over William, a
sharp metal object glistening in his righthand. No! William thought. Fear shotthrough his veins and up and down his spine.This can’t be happening. This—“Open wide,” said the dentist.
Beastly BehaviorI was in the doghouse again last night. It’s not
like I did anything so terrible either. Okay, maybe Ihave been a little too loud with the snoring. And
maybe I have ogled a few too many ladies in theneighborhood – I’ve a healthy libido, and sometimesI just can’t help myself. But are those reasons for herto kick me out of the bedroom?I’m determined tonight will be better. I tried
being extra helpful today, tried to please her everyway I could. Maybe she’ll realize how hard I triedand will forgive and forget. Maybe she’ll rub mytummy, scratch me above my tail and tell me what a
good boy I’ve been.
Law and OrderThe flashing lights of several
squad cars lit up the parking lotand bled their colors through the win-dows of the posh restaurant.“Hey, you’ve arrested our waiter,” a
diner burst out as two cops rushed by with aman in handcuffs.
“Of course we have,” one ofthe cops said over his shoulder.“We had to – he was serving hot
food.”* * *
Indignant Rage - By www.cybersalt.orgJones jumped up from the card table white with

find that happened, usually tosomeone else. I heard about a manwho went to a garage sale and, inan old trunk, found what isbelieved to be the oldest existingColonial American flag. The arti-cle didn’t say what price the manpaid for it, but I’m sure it was lessthan the $500,000 for which itwas later appraised.The most memorable garage
sale you’ll ever attend, of course,is your own. There is no knownblueprint for a garage sale. Somepeople hold them on the spur ofthe moment, while others planthem years in advance. There arepeople who have them annually,but most of us will do so onlyonce or twice. No matter how youdo yours, and no matter howpoorly or well it goes, your garagesale will be an enjoyable event.It’s not the good stuff we find
that attracts us to a garage sale.
What keeps us comingback is the joy of findingsomething at a good pricethat we didn’t know weneeded until we saw it.
That’s why, despite predictions tothe contrary, websites such aseBay have not killed garage salesand never will. The web is where you go to
find something you want. Garagesales are where you go to findsomething you didn’t know youwanted—when you want stuff tofind you. In a world where little is left
to chance anymore, garage salesremind us that, occasionally,something unexpected can stilljust fall in our lap.This is what happened with
my World Book Encyclopediapurchase. After putting the booksin the attic, I was browsingthrough a volume when I discov-ered an aged envelope tucked
between pages. Inside the enve-lope was a folded piece of station-ary with a $20 bill attached. Afaded note in a feminine handread: Dear son, I know how hard you’llfind your first year of college.That’s why dad and I bought theWorld Book Encyclopedia set. Weknow how it will help in keepingup your grades. The $20 wasdad’s idea; He remembers his col-lege days. Love, mom.That $20 gave me more than I
expected from my purchase, andI’ll cherish it. At least until we
have our next garage sale, atwhich time you’re welcome tocome by and make an offer. But remember—no early birds.
* * *Long MarriagesOn their 50th wedding
anniversary and during thebanquet celebrating it, Tom wasasked to give his friends a briefaccount of the benefits of a mar-riage of such long duration.
"Tell us Tom, just what is ityou have learned from all thosewonderful years with your wife?"
Tom responded, "Well, I'velearned that marriage is the bestteacher of all. It teaches you loyal-ty, meekness, forbearance, self-restraint, forgiveness . . . and agreat many other qualities youwouldn't have needed if you'dstayed single!"
