Mystery Editor - 8/5/15

I think we’ve had some pretty interesting programs during the last several weeks. So when I saw a discussion by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), I figured we were in for a dry and possibly boring subject. Boy was I wrong! I was very intrigued with the presentation and had no idea that BLM public lands covered nearly 1/8^th of the US. In the state of Arizona, the 6^th largest state, the BLM administers over 12 million square miles of land. Pretty amazing when you stop to consider. We had plenty of questions following the program, so I think I wasn’t the only person in the room who found this topic interesting.

 

Only one Birthday this week, Happy Birthday to JERRY SULLIVAN, who regaled us with a few (in his words) “stupid jokes.” My favorite: A man is sitting alone in a bar. After a beer or two, he hears a voice talking to him. “That’s really a nice tie.” “You look nice today.” “I love the color of that shirt.” The man looks around but doesn’t see anyone else except the bar tender, so he asks: “I keep hearing voices, but I don’t think I’ve had that much to drink!” The bar tender replies: “Oh, don’t worry, that’s only the peanuts… They’re complimentary.” Needless to say JERRY got both a few laughs and a few groans from that one!

 

We have a new addition to the RCOT family. CONGRATULATIONS to Kathleen Hudson-Wicks and her family on the recent birth of their son – Walker Hudson-Wicks.

 

ELLIE PATTERSON provided an announcement that should make every Rotarian proud: Nigeria has now gone one full year without any new cases of polio! Let’s continue to support the Ride to End Polio so we can help keep this streak intact!

 

In closing, I can’t help but quote JERRY SULLIVAN once again: “What do you call a cracked window???  A PAIN IN THE GLASS!”

 

Have a great week!
