5.30.14


TGIF Phoenix family and friends! It's the weekend - any good plans? I have some plans in mind for my Jenna. *grins*
Pop Culture Trivia for May 30, 2014:
1993: First blind woman to climb Mt. McKinley 54-year-old American Joni Phelps - blind since age 30 - reaches the summit. She and her two sons completed the climb in 16 days.
1992: Southfork, the Ewing family ranch from the TV show Dallas, is sold for $2.6 million to Rex Maughan.
Joke of the Day:
An abrasive businessman in the hospital constantly berates the medical staff. Only the head nurse will stand up to him.
One day she tells him, "I have to take your temperature. I'm sorry, but for this reading, I cannot use an oral thermometer." This starts rounds of complaining, but eventually the man rolls over and bares his rear end.
After the nurse inserts the thermometer, she announces, "I have to get something. Now you stay just like that until I get back."
She leaves the door to his room open on her way out. He curses under his breath as he hears people walk past his door laughing. The man's doctor comes into the room, "What's going on here?"
Angrily, the man answers, "What's the matter? Haven't you ever seen someone having their temperature taken?"
After a pause, the doctor says, "Well, no, not with a carnation, anyway."
Quote of the Day:
You know, I'm sick of following my dreams, man. I'm just gonna ask where they're going, and hook u with them later.
Random Daily Factoid:
The reason firehouses have circular stairways is from the early days when the engines were pulled by horses. The horses were stabled on the ground floor and figured out how to walk up straight staircases.
Beautiful Place to Visit:
Muir Woods National Monument on the Pacific coast of southwestern Marin County, CA - 12 miles north of San Francisco and part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. An absolutely beautiful place to visit.
Have a fangtastic Friday my friends!  Brock
