“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountain is going home; that wildness is necessity; that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.”


John Muir

They are Here Again, Part V ?





SUMMERSVILLE, Mo. • Missouri conservation officials say a property owner shot a mountain lion on his land in the south-central part of the state.
The Department of Conservation said Thursday the man spotted the big male cat this week in Texas County, three miles from where a mountain lion was caught by a trail camera in July.
Mountain lions are protected, but may be shot if people perceive a threat to themselves or their property. Conservation officials say they found no reason to charge the landowner in this case.
The Conservation Department took possession of the cat and will use it for education and DNA testing.
Officials say they have no confirmed evidence of a breeding population in Missouri. They say it appears that mountain lions are dispersing from states to the west.

I know our days are heaven sent




know our days are heaven sent
lord knows I know not where they went
shake my head and I wonder how
I'll ever get to heaven now

An angel came one winter dawn
you shoulda seen what she had on
wind was whistlin' like its rain
she left again just like she came

I know our days are heaven sent
lord knows I know not where they went
shake my head and I wonder how
I'll ever get to heaven now

I move around a lot these days
honky tonks and broad freeways
the same thing that I've always done
but I'm older now and I get tired some

I know our days are heaven sent
lord knows I know not where they went
shake my head and I wonder how
I'll ever get to heaven now

Those who think they hold the cards
I send out my kind regards
Those who love to those who care
I'll meet you down the road somewhere

I know our days are heaven sent
lord knows I know not where they went
shake my head and I wonder how
I'll ever get to heaven now

I know our days are heaven sent
lord knows I know not where they went
shake my head and I wonder how
I'll ever get to heaven now

I'll ever get to heaven now

Four Worms in Church





A Minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.

Four worms were placed into four separate jars.

The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.

The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.

The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.

The fourth worm was put into a container of good, clean soil.

At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:

The first worm in alcohol ... Dead.

The second worm in cigarette smoke ... Dead

The third worm in chocolate syrup ... Dead

The fourth worm in good, clean soil ... Alive. 

So the Minister asked the congregation, "What did you learn from this demonstration?" 

Maxine was sitting in the back and quickly raised her hand and said, 

"As long as you drink, smoke, and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!" 

That pretty much ended the service !!
