ALLEN ('66) preventive animal diseases Now if they could come up with one that at least slows the spread of stupid. HUMANS are so susceptible... -Rex HUNT ('53) ~ In lovely downtown Hanford, CA who's major import is stupid **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) Gadfrey! Blew another one. All this excitement about "Tooter" getting tangled up with AOL has gotten me lost in time or some other place. Yesterday was the birthday of a Bomber Babe whom I happen to know through Club 40 and I missed it. My bad, as some would say. A belated tip of the ol' propeller beanie is in order for Anna May WANN ('49). We know her better as Ann Thompson, but then people change names all the time. Hope you had a good day and didn't get too wet. -Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ Mount Angel, OR where weather guessers are having a field day in trying to outguess one another on the amount of rain that will fall. **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From:Dennis HAMMER ('64) To: John ALLEN ('66) Re: HORSE SENSE Is it just me??? Every time in the last few weeks when some government official gets up and says "There is no cause for concern." etc., etc., etc. I am always reminded of that movie "Airplane" when Leslie Nielsen starts talking to the passengers telling them "There is no reason to panic," etc., etc., etc., and while he is talking his nose keeps getting longer and longer. (I looked up that clip up on YouTube to be sure the quote was correct) It has been some time since I last saw "Airplane" but it is a remake of the 1957 movie "Zero Hour!" which I did watch within the last year. "Zero Hour!" is a more serious move while "Airplane" is a slapstick comedy, but it was surprising how many scenes were reused in "Airplane," and I am pretty sure the Doctor reassuring (lying to) the passengers is one of them. . . . just wondering if anyone else had the same thought. -Dennis HAMMER ('64) ~ Cooling off really quick here in the Tri-Cities **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Tom ALBERT ('69) Re: Blaine HOPKINS ('69-RIP) http://alumnisandstorm.com/Obits/pics14/RIP69HopkinsBlaine14.htm Written by Chris MARSHALL Hopkins ('69) for the Sandstorm: It is with deep sadness that I wanted to let all of you know that my husband and best friend, Blaine, passed away Monday morning, October 27 at 10:30am. Blaine experienced a massive brain cell bleed last Saturday and lost consciousness. He never experienced any pain and he went home surrounded by the physical and/or "wish-we-were-there" love of family and friends. Blaine will be laid to rest at a grave side service on Saturday, November 1, 2014, at Einans's Highway 240 and the ByPass Highway, Richland at 1pm and the grave site (lot 178A in the Peace Garden) is located across from the pond on the corner. Look for the lonely swan! Any questions... please contact Jackie MARSHALL ('75) If you wish to send condolences, contact Jackie and she will give you Chris' address/phone number. Please forward this information on to anyone who might want to know about Blaine. -Tom ALBERT ('69) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Brad UPTON ('74) Re: Horse Sense I'm a little confused about yesterday's entry, so I thought I might reply to Horse Sense: Did you know that... Horses defecate whenever, wherever they feel like it and then walk through their own mess? Did you also know they also urinate whenever, wherever they feel like as well? Did you know that there are no labor laws concerning how much, or how hard you work a horse? Did you know in order to make a horse run faster or obey an order, that you can strike a horse with a stick or rod? Did you know that if a horse is injured while performing slave labor that you can just shoot it? Did you know that in many parts of the world people consume horse meat? Aren't you glad that we treat humans better than we treat horses? -Brad UPTON ('74) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** Bomber Memorial >>Blaine HOPKINS ~ Class of 1969 ~ 1950 - 2014 Bomber Memorials **************************************************************** **************************************************************** That's it for today.
