5 Things Nobody Tells You About Quitting Drinking (A LITTLE PROFANE)

"So ... how much do you drink per day?"

I started to answer, but he threw up a hand to stop me and continued, "If you don't stop drinking right now, you'll be dead before you're 40. You're 35, and your liver is already showing signs of shutting down. Then again, the faster all the drunks die off, the more space we free up in this hospital for people with actual medical problems that are beyond their own control." Then he punched me in the face and hobbled out of the room on his cane.Read the whole story

THOUGHTS ON HUMOR

Jokes of the proper kind, properly told, can do more to enlighten questions of politics, philosophy, and literature than any number of dull arguments. -Isaac Asimov

Humor is a universal language. -Joel Goodman

Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is. -Francis Bacon

Humor is emotional chaos remembered in tranquillity. -James Thurber

Humor helps us to think out of the box. The average child laughs about 400 times per day, the average adult laughs only 15 times per day. What happened to the other 385 laughs? –Unknown

JOETODDSAYS210  Well it is Sunday in Lancaster,Ohio and it is cold/snowy. I would rather be in Hilton Head S.C. visiting Harold’s Diner.. Appreciate you stopping by and I hope you have a great day. I’ll leave you with one last link:::: The average annualized yield of our six mREITs is a healthy 14%. But as with any sector, especially high-yield instruments, no investor in mREITS should go "all in" $NLY my favorite stock

Today is Friday, Feb. 10, the 41st day of 2012. There are 325 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History:

On Feb. 10, 1962, the Soviet Union exchanged captured American U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers for Rudolf Abel, a Soviet spy held by the United States. In 1998, newly declassified information revealed that Powers’ mission had been a joint USAF/CIA operation. In 2000, on the 40th anniversary of the U-2 Incident, his family was presented his posthumously awarded Prisoner of War Medal, Distinguished Flying Cross, and National Defense Service Medal. In addition, CIA Director George Tenet authorized Powers to posthumously receive the CIA's coveted Director's Medal for extreme fidelity and extraordinary courage in the line of duty.[11] He was awarded the CIA's Intelligence Star in 1963 after his return

Bike Trails are a Great Place to get some Exercise

A short drive from Lancaster,Ohio to Newark,Ohio and some Quality Time on the TJ Evans bike trail.

(After my stroke I’ve found walking to be a great way to recover.)

The TJ Evans Trail moves through woods, pastures and farmlands giving occasional glimpses of a creek that runs alongside and a river along the campus connector along Rt. 16.”

Trail End Points: West Newark to Johnstown
Counties: Licking..Gotta go thru the “tunnel”

Graffiti has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to Ancient Greece. I’m sure this graffiti isn’t ancient. LOL. Out the other side

Trail Length: 14.2 miles
Trail Category: Rail-Trail

DSC_0010
Trail Surfaces: Asphalt

Trail Activities: Bike, Inline Skating, Fishing, Wheelchair Accessible, Walking, etc.

“This is a great ride on those scorching hot summer days. Most of the bikeway is lined with an abundance of foliage that gives the effect of riding through a long, green tunnel.” A great place to do some “reflecting.”

DSC_0035

Back in 1994-95 when I lived in Newark,Ohio I would jog on this trail in the evenings after work. (no night access today) On summer evenings this field was filled with thousands of fireflies.A sight I will never forget. I’ve also “biked” this trail a couple times and found it an enjoyable experience.

Many sections also interact with Raccoon Creek, a small stream that runs east to feed the Licking River.

If you're unable to do the entire length, the most picturesque stretch appears just after passing the  metal grain elevators of the Granville Milling Co.

In one spot, you've got pastures on your left and right sides, with cows giving you their blank trademark stare.(No cows today)

From the “Mill” in Granville it is just a short walk downtown where you will find some great places to eat. Linda and I met each other in Newark and we would often drive or walk to Granville and eat at:

And now a mystery photo. Do you have any idea what this is a photo of or what it is for? I didn’t till I asked another trail walker.

DSC_0056

DSC_0058 That’s all folks. Thanks for stopping by. Oh you want to know what the mystery photo is. Ok “Housing for feral cats”  Feral cat colonies and homeless cats in the Licking County area of Central Ohio are cared for by Trapping, Neutering, and Returning (TNR) the ferals to their colonies or adopting them to caring homes when possible. That is what I was told.

A My Quality Time post………………On this excursion I walked from Newark to Granville and back. I guess I’m getting better LOL….
