JSS-- Just Some Stuff.
1. CRUMMY WEATHER-- After a fairly decent week, we arrive at the weekend with 50 degrees, blustery wind and rain bursts. Tomorrow, the high is expected to be 46. And, we can't even blame it on the infamous bad-weather-bringing Round Lake Carnival as it closed last week (unless they extended one more week which wouldn't surprise me).
Must be some of this Global Warming I hear so much about.
2. OSAMA, NOT OBAMA-- I try, but still confuse the two names when talking to folks. We did not kill Obama, it was the other guy as I have been corrected many times.
3. GREAT FISH FRY-- Yesterday drove to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and had the world's greatest fish fry at Popeye's (not the chicken chain), using a coupon they sent for my 60th birthday coming up in ten days. We got the broiled/fried combo with potato pancakes.
Great view of Geneva Lake, the 1930s Riviera Docks and the 1900s Gage Marine steamships.

It's Them, Not Me: Bin Laden's Sons-- Let 'Em Know-- A Little Osama Humor
BIN LADEN'S SONS
I watch Osama's sons being upset over his "murder" or "execution" by US forces. I wonder how they felt about his "murders" and "executions" of almost 3,000 innocent people almost ten years ago.
Plus, they more than likely knew what he was up to before 9-11 and also knew his whereabouts all this time. I'd have to say they are as guilty as their father.
LET 'EM KNOW
And then there are those supporters of Osama who want to know where he was buried at sea. I say, let them know the exact coordinates, then blast anyone who goes to the site.
A LITTLE OSAMA HUMOR
Route 66 friend Lulu sent along two Osama jokes that I felt obliged to include here.
BIN LADEN'S LAST WORDS: Pizza? I didn't order pizza.
THE NEW BIN LADEN DRINK: Two shots and a splash of water.

Osama bin Laden is Dead!!!
Turns out, the biggest coward and best hidey-cat in history has been "hiding in plain sight" within a mile of a major military base some 90 miles from the capital in Pakistan. Yesterday, US military special ops finally brought him to justice.
Osama bin Laden was killed. Watching TV right now at 10:36 am. His body was buried at sea and DNA tests have proven that the body was of the mass murderer.
We were here in Springfield, Illinois. last night having a few brews at the Curve Inn, an old (1930s) Route 66 roadhouse we like to visit whenever in town. The music was loud, beer cold and the usual characters in house.
All TVs were on games. We were watching the Phillies-Mets game when the bartender changed it to CNN. No sound, but there was a sign that Obama was going to make an announcement from the White House. This would have to be something mighty important to be this late.
Eventually, the words that bin Laden had been killed flashed along the bottom of the screen. It took a moment to sink in. We yelled out that bin Laden was dead (as most weren't watching.) Immediately, the bar broke out in cheers and many toasts made.
The bartender turned off the jukebox, turned up the sound on the TV and everyone began watching and cheering. Smles all around.
We went back to the motel where we saw President Obama make the announcement then stayed up way too late watching breaking news. We saw the crowd grow from just a few to hundreds outside the White House.
Great News.
