NEW CREATIONIST THEORY

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and Krispy Kreme Donuts. And Satan said, 'You want chocolate with that?' And Man said, 'Yes!' and Woman said, 'and as long as you're at it, add some sprinkles.' And they gained 10 pounds. And Satan smiled.
And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair.

And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 6 to size 14.
So God said, 'Try my fresh green salad.' And Satan presented Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons and garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.
God then said, 'I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them.' And Satan brought forth deep fried fish and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter. And Man gained more weight and his cholesterol went through the roof.

God then created a light, fluffy white cake, named it 'Angel Food Cake,' and said, 'It is good.' Satan then created chocolate cake and named it 'Devil's Food.'

God then brought forth running shoes so that His children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan gave cable TV with a remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue light and gained pounds.

Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them. And Man gained pounds.

God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald's and its 99-cent double cheeseburger. Then said, 'You want fries with that?' And Man replied, 'Yes! And super size them!' And Satan said, 'It is good.'

And Man went into cardiac arrest.

God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.

Then Satan created HMOs.

The Allies are Coming, The Allies are Coming!!!



The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terroristthreats and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even"A Bit Cross."?? Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists themselves have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the greatfire of 1666.
Also, the French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels inFrance are "Surrender" and "Collaborate." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.
Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."
The Germans also increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbor" and "Lose." > Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual, and the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.
The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanishnavy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.
The Swiss, as always, have taken the phone off the hook.

Water bridge over water

Have you ever seen a WATER bridge over a river?Even after you see it, it is still hard to believe !
WaterBridge in Germany ... What a feat! Six years, 500 million euros, 918 meters long.......now this is engineering! This is a channel-bridge over the River Elbe and joins the former East and West Germany, as part of the unification project. It is located in the city of Magdeburg, near Berlin. The photo was taken on the day of inauguration. To those who appreciate engineering projects, here's a puzzle for you armchair engineers and physicists. Did that bridge have to be designed to withstand the additional weight of ship and barge traffic, or just the weight of the water?
Answer:
It only needs to be designed to withstand the weight of the water! Why? A ship always displaces an amount of water that weighs the same as the ship, regardless of how heavily a ship may be loaded.

WE HAVE HOPE!!!

DENVER – The Colorado Avalanche Hockey Club announced today the signing of captain Joe Sakic to a one-year deal for the 2007-08 season, which will be his 19th National Hockey League campaign and 15th straight as the franchise’s captain.
“I am privileged today to announce to our fans that Joe will be returning next season. Joe is the heart of this organization and his leadership and value to this team and especially our young players is unquestioned,” said Avalanche Executive Vice President and General Manager Francois Giguere. “He played some of his best hockey this past season and was a major part of the late-season success we enjoyed. Joe’s contributions both on and off the ice for this organization cannot be understated.
“We have great expectations for next season and Joe’s presence will be counted on to continue aiding in the development and growth of our young players,” added Giguere.
Sakic, 37, finished his 18th NHL season as the club’s leader in points (100), goals (36) and assists (64) while appearing in all 82 games for the second-straight season and sixth time in his career. He joined Gordie Howe as the only players in NHL history to reach the 100-point plateau at the age of 37 or older. Sakic recorded 100 points for the sixth time in his career and first since he earned NHL MVP Honors (Hart Trophy) with 118 points in 2000-01.
Sakic recorded his franchise-record ninth 30-goal season, surpassing Michel Goulet and Peter Stastny who each amassed eight campaigns with 30 goals. Sakic also reached the 50-assist plateau for the 14th time in his career, tying Marcel Dionne and Paul Coffey for the third-most 50-assist seasons in NHL history behind Wayne Gretzky (18) and Ron Francis (16).
“I was really impressed with the way this team came together and am looking forward to next year,” said Sakic. “To witness the growth of our young players and see how they performed with some of our other veterans was very encouraging and says a lot about the expectations we’ll have for next season.”
“As I’ve said in the past, at this stage in my career, I prefer to do one-year deals as I evaluate my play year-to-year,” added Sakic. “But I’m looking forward to next season and we feel very lucky to be a part of such a great hockey market with such amazing fan support.”
Sakic led the Avalanche in scoring in each month of the season and led all forwards in ice-time (20:11). During the club’s dramatic season-ending run (15-2-2), Sakic accounted for a team-high 25 points (9g/16a) including a pair of game-winning goals. During this stretch, he had a pair of four-point games, including April 3 in Calgary where he compiled three assists to go with his game-winning goal.
Sakic made his 12th NHL All-Star appearance, selected as a starter for the fourth time in his career. His four-assist effort in the All-Star Classic gave him 16 career assists, surpassing Mark Messier’s All-Star record of 14. He moved into third-place on the All-Star points list with 22, trailing only Wayne Gretzky (25) and Mario Lemieux (23).
Sakic will enter the 2007-08 season ranked ninth on the NHL all-time points list (1,589), 14th in goals (610, tied with Bobby Hull) and 11th in assists (979). He tallied his 600th career goal on February 15 at Calgary. He will look to add onto a current streak of 208 consecutive games-played dating back to January 6, 2004.

ARE WE STILL IN KANSAS TOTO

Hold on to your hats people the wind is headed for everywhere. If it was flat up here and there was rain we could name this puppy . At least it gets the polution out of the air a bit.

Our Lab has a new friend. He goes to Work at Loveland Ski area with Chuck every night and has found a fox to play with. Jake chases him /her and then the fox will chase Jake. The fox will come up to the Jeep for treats but won't eat out of Chuck's hand. That's probably a good thing.

Here's the new guy.

THE IDAHO SPRINGS TURKEY

We have a new resident of town. A female turley has decided this is a great place to live and has made herself at home. She has a regular route of places to go and people that feed her. A retired Science teacher that lives next to me and one of our oldest and animal friendly people included. She has become quite comfortable and a little bold. She chases cats and small dogs. I think our Lab, Jake, was a little too big for her to tangle with when she found herself on our deck. Up on the picnic table and then onto our roof. She was up there stomping around for a couple of hours and then flew down to the ground. I wasn't sure how well turkeys could fly. Remember the infamous WKRP episode? nuff said.
