You gave me to break into one of those great big LOUD laughs with that quote .......
Marilyn, from the kitchen, wanted to know what I'd seen on the internet that was so very funny cause I'd just gotten another cup of coffee and had told her the futures were down big time .....

I left the house before 6amCST this morning to make sure my crew was coming over here today to fix the roof over the sun room that the snow load made to sag slightly last winter.
That WI winter you sent this way with the 10 inches in Feb got my greenhouse and some small damage to the sun room ....

anyway, as you know the greenhouse has been rebuilt and the sun room roof was on for today ....

what I'm leading around to .....

one of the foremen of my crew ... a gentleman who has been in my employ for nearly ten years is a Mexican National ...
his comment/question over coffee this morning at the lumber yard had to do with the election ...

he wanted to know how come we "preach" democracy to the rest of the world and have such a pitiful time implementing the voting situation ....
and that in the tech age what are we still using paper ballots and punch cards ...
he didn't even know what a punch card was .....
and then asked me if that wasn't the stuff that IBM quit using about 15 years ago ....

hmmmmmmmmmm
