160. Nasruddin’s Tears
The imam of Nasruddin’s village was delivering a sermon about the prophets, extolling their excellent qualities and illustrious deeds.
As the imam was speaking, Nasruddin began to weep loudly.
“Behold this man’s sincere devotion!” the imam exclaimed. “My sermon has moved him to tears.”
“It’s true,” said Nasruddin, sobbing. “This morning, I woke up to discover that my favorite goat had suddenly passed away, and it broke my heart. As I watch your beard wagging back and forth as you speak, it makes me think of my poor dead goat, and I can’t help but weep these tears of sorrow.”

The only news that I have is that the weather here has been great versus what I was getting at the Apache RV Park. The morning temperatures are wonderful for our walks and there has been no rain. There is no mud either because we walk only on the road apron or the sidewalk. That is not to stay out of any mud that there might happen to be but to stay out of the goat heads, that is the only negative for this location.
