An atheist was spending a quiet day fishing when suddenly his boat was attacked by the Loch Ness monster. In one easy flip, the beast tossed him and his boat at least a hundred feet into the air. It then opened it's mouth waiting below to swallow them both.

As the man sailed head over heels and started to fall towards the open jaws of the ferocious beast, he cried out, "Oh, God! Help me!"

Suddenly, the scene froze in place and as the atheist hung in mid-air a booming voice came out of the clouds and said, "I thought you didn't believe in Me!"

"God, come on, give me a break!" the man pleaded, "Just seconds ago I didn't believe in the Loch Ness monster either!"

"Well," said God, "now that you are a believer, you must understand that I won't work miracles to snatch you from certain death in the jaws of the monster, but I can change hearts. What would you have me do?"

The atheist thinks for a minute then says, "God, please have the Loch Ness Monster believe in You also."

God replies, "So be it."

The scene starts in motion again with the atheist falling towards the ravenous jaws of the monster. The Loch Ness Monster folds his claws together and says, "Lord, bless this food You have so graciously provided..."

Suzi is still jamming hard! 

 Morning hits good today so far.  Going to tidy up for the sitter this week.  Need to keep the good ones happy while dealing w/the puppers.

The commitment isn't purposely to offset some past sins but if it does, I'm ok with that. 

Went for a nice ride yesterday. Lubed the chain, checked the tires & lights, put some fresh gas in the ol' Monster.

Good morning

Daylight saving has begun here, consequently my morning coffee...... isn't     (like I care, the world can wait).

Afternoon.

Went downtown after UPS delivered the wine I "wasn't available for delivery" yesterday earlier than promised.  Thankfully, I had gone back to my place to apply some sunscreen, which was fortunate as they were early. Arrived at 1:15 for a 2-6:00 window.  I saw the truck drive by my condo twice yesterday while I was at home during the 4-8 timeframe.   

Anyhow, made it downtown. Tons of people everywhere. Even saw my first canisters of tear gas deployed. I did not affect me otherwise.

Having a great day so far.
Heading out with friends to our favorite Indian place for dinner.

Sounds awesome!
