Missive #525

94. Nasruddin and the Hooligan

One of the local hooligans threw a rock at Nasruddin’s donkey. Nasruddin saw what the boy had done but, instead of yelling at him, he laughed.

“You’re a very good shot!” Nasruddin exclaimed. “I’m impressed. But my donkey is not a worthy target for someone of your talent. You deserve a better target!”

Nasruddin then noticed the mayor riding by on his horse.

“Like the mayor, for example,” Nasruddin said, pointing.

The boy threw a rock at the horse’s rump, and when the horse reared, the mayor tumbled to the ground.

“Arrest that boy!” the mayor shouted.

Nasruddin just smiled.

Yesterday I got a quote for the A/C replacement. More than I wanted to spend but you do what you have to do. They wanted a deposit but didn’t say how much so I’m waiting for that email reply. The shop is slow but at least is using email to communicate which is far better than most RV ‘service’ providers.

We did our morning walk yesterday with a solid cloud cover but it started to rain soon after we finished. It then showered for a few minutes about every hour during the rest of the day. No afternoon walk, didn’t have the courage to get out there and get wet. A total of 0.24″ that came in such a way that I did not get a leak dripping on my bed this time. What I did get was a loss of electricity for 3-4 hours. There was not a lot of lightning nearby but sometime cut the power.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the Trump administration has formally updated the safety labeling on all mRNA COVID-19 vaccines to reflect what many Americans have been warning about for years: a disturbingly high risk of myocarditis—particularly in young men—and the possibility of long-term, irreversible heart damage.

  1. I started adding the camp map when at Sunsites. The state flag didn’t mean much when I stayed in only two states. HA
