Happy Day after Valentines Day to all of you !!! Dadu talked in church today...a great talk on priorities and how you should write down what you want to accomplish each day...and prayer and scriptures should never get bumped because they should not be priorities at all but Base Values that are automatic and mandatory daily !!! Also about how your mind learns and figures things out and your heart feels things and your hands Do things..and they work best all together !!!

The fabulous chefs Sandy, Ed and Patricia made my birthday dinner !! Jerk rubbed pork roast with awesome apples cooked in root beer over the slices, asparagus, awesome mashed sweet potatoes, good rolls, marvelous garlic, kinda like scallop potatoes with parmesan cheese, milk and chocolate brownie cake...........I messed up the carefully orchestrated Happy B Day Sheila letters out of almond slices on the cake by tipping it for a better photo for Ed....oops.......It was all DELICIOUS !!! Doubly so since I didn't have to make any of it....I will sew any day but I am not fond of cooking !!!

Top This One For A Speeding Ticket














Two California Highway Patrol Officers were conducting speeding enforcement on I-15, just north of the Marine Corps Air Station at Miramar . One of the officers was using a hand held radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching the crest of a hill. The officers were suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading 300 miles per hour. The officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not reset and then turned off.







Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in fact locked on to a USMC F/A-18 Hornet which was engaged in a low flying exercise near the location.

Back at the CHP Headquarters the Patrol Captain fired off a complaint to the USMC Base Commander. The reply came back in true USMC style:

Thank you for your letter. We can now complete the file on this incident.

You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Hornet had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked on to your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it, which is why it shut down.

Furthermore, an Air-to-Ground missile aboard the fully armed aircraft had also automatically locked on to your equipment location.

Fortunately, the Marine Pilot flying the Hornet recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile system alert status and was able to override the automated defense system before the missile was launched to destroy the hostile radar position.
The pilot also suggests you cover your mouths when cussing at them, since the video systems on these jets are very high tech.

Sergeant Johnson, the officer holding the radar gun, should get his dentist to check his left rear molar. It appears the filling is loose. Also, the snap is broken on his holster.

Thank you for your concern.
