One December morning a husband and wife in NW Iowa were listening to the radio during breakfast. The forecast was for 8-10 inches of snow. Park all cars on the even numbered side of the street. So wife moved the car. Next week the forecast was for 10-12 inches of snow, move cars to odd numbered side. She moved it again. This morning the forecast is for 12-14 more inches of snow. The blonde wife looked so discouraged her husband told her to leave it in the garage today.

MONDAY, January 11, 2010 29 loads today The weather is finally cooperating! Things sold strong after adverse conditions. There was a good decent selection and we anticipate Thursday's sale to be a good size auction as "global warming" sets in (we hope!!).
3 women go to Mexico to celebrate college graduation. Someone slipped something in their drinks and they woke up in jail to find they would be executed shortly. No. 1, redhead, is strapped in the electric chair & asked for last words. *I just graduated from Trinity Bible College & believe God will intervene on the behalf of the innocent*. Switch is thrown and nothing happens. She begs forgiveness and they release her. No. 2, brunette, is strapped in & gives last words, *I'm a grad of Harvard Law School & believe in the power of justice to intervene on behalf of innocent.* Switch is thrown & again nothing happens. All fall to their knees, beg forgiveness & she is released. Last one (you knew it - blonde) is strapped in & says, *I am from the University of TN & graduated with degree in Electrical Engineering & I can tell ya right now, y*all ain*t gonna electrocute nobody if you don*t plug this thing in.*

THURSDAY, January 15, 2009 29 loads today The market was weak today: frigid temps & low buyer interest.
This is SOOO true on a day like today - temps minus 0! Put in the name of your state!! On the 6th day, God said to Gabriel they were going to create a land called Iowa and that He would make the land rich in natural beauty and resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper. The inhabitants would be called Iowans and they would be known as a most friendly people. Gabriel thought the Lord was being too generous to those Iowans! But God said He really was not - just wait and see the winters I am going to give them.
The carnival came to town! Of course, there was the tent with the girly show. Dad told Johnny, *Do not go to that show. You will see something you should not see and I do not want that!* But Johnny sneeks in and yes, he saw something he should not have - sure enough, his dad was sitting in the front row.

THURSDAY, January 21, 2010 41 loads today Weather (ice/rain/snow) affected both the run & the buyers ability to receive hay at their farms! The market was uneven.
It is the time of year when Darwin Awards are bestowed, honoring the least evolved among us. Here is the winner: When his 38 caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a hold up in Long Beach, CA, would be robber J. Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder. He peered down the barrel & tried the trigger again. This time it worked.
Another no school day in all area schools. Visibility is very poor - wind and snow flurries making big drifts. This weather, especially on Mons. & Thurs., is getting really tiring. It certainly wrecks havoc with the sales. We are hoping it will quit soon and very soon. A few things to take in stride: *Live is not fair, but it is still good.* *It is ok to be angry with God. He can take it." *Time heals almost everything. Give time time.*
