Not enough loads to test the market today
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.

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.*

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.

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.*

Alfalfa higher, grass continued weak.

Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.

Don't judge folks by their relatives.

Words that soak into you earsare whispered...not yelled.
