"Last night Hillary Clinton said she won't support legalizing recreational marijuana until we see how it goes in Colorado. Officials in Colorado couldn't respond because they were too busy swimming in a pool of money." –Jimmy Fallon

Get Along Little Doggie!

When I was about seven years old, I spent the summer on a Hemet, California Watermelon Ranch. In California there are no farms, every place that grows a crop is a ranch. One of my nieces owns a nut ranch up by Fresno and another is dating a guy who owns a Grape Ranch that sells grapes to Gallo Wines.

The hard part of working on a Watermelon Ranch is at branding time..the melons do not like getting branded and then there is the chance of stampede. You ain't lived until you have been involved with rounding up all those watermelons running a muck around the country side around Hemet, California.

Happy Father's Day

************************ ADVICE FROM DEAR OLD DAD.

"The best advice my dad ever gave me was,

never buy cheap tools.

Always buy the best you can afford;

you will never regret it.

Also, never do things halfway.

It's easier to do things right the first time."

— Rick Nelson

“A word to the wise ain't necessary,

it's the stupid ones who need advice.”
― Bill Cosby

“Women don't want to hear what you think.

Women want to hear what they think

- in a deeper voice.”

Hunter S Bunny

Bing! all dressed up as Gonzo Journalist Hunter S Thompson. This is how he appeared in the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

This is how Hunter Thompson was depicted

in the comic strip Doonesbury

********************************

Quotes from Hunter S Thompson

Funny how we view individuals. The more a person appears to be violent, immoral, depraved or just a really bad guy, the bigger his life becomes in our mind. "Some may never Live....But the Crazy Never Die."

Friday the 13th

Mister Timms was the name of the

plastic gold fish

in the movie Rango.

This is a cartoon done by someone else of Rango and Hunter S Thompson combined. In the movie Rango, the little Gecko lizard who later became known as Rango ends up landing on Hunter S Thompson's convertable outside of Las Vegas.

The scene is taken from the movie

And another pretty good movie that I have never seen or read the book.

Hey...Mister Wilson!

Tim Taylor: “What’re you doin’?”
Wilson: “Just carving out a canoe, Tim.”
Tim Taylor: “…Sounds hard.”
Wilson: “Not really, Tim – you just take a big block of wood, and chip away everything that’s not a canoe.” - See more at: http://therearenoroads.com/internet-love/10-wisdom-filled-quotes-wilson-home-improvement/#sthash.UnajMQVS.dpuf

WILSON OF HOME IMPROVEMENT WISE QUOTES:

Wilson: “My heart attack didn’t kill me, so why act like it did? See, Tim, it was the Roman philosopher Seneca who said “if we let things terrify us, then life is not worth living.” - See more at: http://therearenoroads.com/internet-love/10-wisdom-filled-quotes-wilson-home-improvement/#sthash.nE3Rd3nA.dpuf

Wilson: “My heart attack didn’t kill me, so why act like it did? See, Tim, it was the Roman philosopher Seneca who said “if we let things terrify us, then life is not worth living.”

Tim Taylor: “What’re you doin’?”
Wilson: “Just carving out a canoe, Tim.”
Tim Taylor: “…Sounds hard.”
Wilson: “Not really, Tim – you just take a big block of wood, and chip away everything that’s not a canoe.”

WIlson: “Parents are the bone on which children sharpen their teeth. What I’m saying is that when a boy is young, he worships his father and in order for the boy to become a man, he’s got to see his father as a fallible human being and stop seeing him as a god.”

Wilson: “Tim, it’s not unusual for a father to want his sons to succeed. You know I’m reminded of what Wally Schirra, the astronaut, said, ‘You don’t raise heroes, you raise sons, but if you treat them as sons, they’ll turn out to be heroes, even if it’s just in your own eyes’.”

Wilson: “You know Tim, there’s an old folk saying. Obsessions are like fire and water. Good servants, but bad masters. See the point is: do you rule your obsession, or does your obsession rule you?”

Wilson: “Well, Tim, I’m reminded of what the Chinese philosopher Chuang Tse said. You cannot speak of the ocean to a well frog, you cannot speak of ice to a summer insect.”

Tim: Wilson, are you naked?
Wilson: No, Tim, I am wearing a hat.

Earl Hindman

WAS "WILSON"

We never saw his whole face, but the Taylor's wise neighbor Wilson made an impression on Home Improvement all the same. Earl Hindman, who had previously appeared in Three Men & a Baby, Ryan's Hope, and many other film and television projects, passed away in 2003 at the age of 61.
