163. The Eagle Jaliz
A scholar was boasting about his knowledge of Islamic traditions. What color was Mohammad’s horse? The scholar knew. What is the favorite food of the angels? He knew that too.
Eager to display his knowledge, Nasruddin shouted out, “Jaliz!”
The scholar stared at him coldly. “Is that some kind of name?”
“It’s the name of the eagle who swooped down and carried Moses away,” replied Nasruddin.
“But there is no record of an eagle swooping down and carrying Moses away.”
“Well,” retorted Nasruddin, “then Jaliz is the name of the eagle who did not swoop down and carry Moses away.”

I got more rain yesterday afternoon and then through the night until sometime in the early morning today. Weather Underground has updated their web site again and I can not rely on anything they are reporting. This happened the last time they did a update and it took ~six months for them to report something that I thought I could rely on. My best guess is that the total rain fall was ~1.0″ based on the size of the standing water which was more than earlier this month when .75″ was reported. More to come later today is the forecast is right.
I need to get busy today and tomorrow with housecleaning chores. Will be on the road on Sunday, Time Change Day, with a stop for breakfast at a restaurant that might be open and then again might not depending on how they deal with the time change. I’ll find out!
Where are you headed to next?
