    Something ate my calla lily bulbs !! Can I get any madder ? Actually, yes I can but thats beside the point LOL
    The frost got my first attempt at flowers / vegis. I'm sort of glad it did because round two looks way better, put some salvia in and something white, I have no idea what it is but I love it.
    Planted 2 cherry tomatos and one early girl , and some string beans . That's it, I don't have the energy for more .

    Are there any smelt left. Back in the 70's we could fill up a 55 gallon drum in 20 minutes.

    Peri, saying " eh " is a Canadian thing but also, if you notice , most American towns near Canada also say " eh " .. It's been my experience that most American towns near the border talk like Canadians. eh ? :)
    That's why I tell people, I'm not Canadian, I just sound like one HAHAHA

After dey got dat dere chainsaw dey were down ta less dan one. Anyways they brought da saw back to da dealer and told 'em dis ting don't work. Da Dealer cranks up da saw, it's running like the dickens. Eino looks at Toivo and says, What da heck is all dat noise about?"

    A few years back, on the opening day of deer season, Eino and Toivo went hunting together. Sure enough, as was bound to happen with Eino and Toivo in the same swamp with guns, Eino accidently shot Toivo. Well, Eino jumps into the truck, drives down to the nearest bar and calls the ambulance. Soon, the police, game wardens, fire trucks, paramedics and the ambulance all show up at the scene of the tragedy. The paramedics work frantically on Toivo while a nervous Eino waits nearby. Finally, one of the exhausted paramedics comes over to Eino. "I'm sorry," he says, "We did everything we could. We just couldn't save him." "OH NO!" cries Eino. "My best friend! What will I do? I'm so sorry, Toivo! What could I have done to save you?" "Well," said the paramedic, with a look of disgusted anger on his face, "It would've helped if you hadn't gutted him first!"

    Woodcutters extrordinairre Eino and Toivo were off to the Marquette airport, Ad in the Mining Journal said they were hiring. Eino goes in first, interviewer asks him what hes good at. Eino says I'm a woodcutter. Interviewer tells Eino, sorry we don't have much use for that. Toivo goes in, same question, Toivo answers Im a Pilot. The interviewer gets all excited, almost ready to offer him a job and Toive says, Yup. Eino cuts the wood and I pilot.
