Joe Johnson’s comments brought something to mind. When I was going
to the School of Forestry in Bottineau, many of my friends had their
hunting rifles and even some handguns in their dorm rooms. I had a gun
in my off campus room too. I remember going out hunting rabbits south of
Bottineau and bringing the guns back into the dorm without any question
of whether or not we could. The college also sponsored the Rod and Gun
Club on campus. I guess we never thought anyone had any evil in mind.
It was as normal as going to lunch. I once brought an antique muzzle
loader rifle to speech class to give a demonstration speech on it’s
function. Today if someone did that they would probably be shot while
crossing campus! The difference is that we respected others rights and
they respected ours. To my knowledge, there was never an incident of
any kind just because students had guns in their rooms. Now our minds
are clouded by current thoughts of—‘He must be some kind of a
dangerous nut if he has a gun in his room.’ We’ve come a long ways,
baby! Thanks Gary!

Hello Gina,It’s getting about time to make arrangements for a suggested hotel for our folks to check into on February 18th, the day before the cruise. I know you know the area well and can make a good recommendation for us. Ideally we need a hotel that can provide transportation from the Airport to the hotel and from the hotel to the ship. We are looking for a good economical middle of the road hotel. If we can get good rates with a 5 star, that will be great, but we can settle for less. Our folks were very pleased with the Ramada Inn at SeaTac for our Alaska Cruise. I think it was rated a 3 star. Something on that order would work just fine. As you can guess, we are looking for the best bang for the buck.Thanks,Gary

Are you the weakest link? Below are four (4) questions. You have to
answer them quickly. You can’t take your time, answer all of them
immediately.
Ready?
First Question:
You are participating in a race. You overtake the second
person. What position are you in?
Answer: If you answered that you are first,
then you are absolutely wrong!
If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are
second!
Try not to mess up in the next question. To answer the second
question, don’t take as much time as you took on the first
question.
If you overtake the last person, then you are…?
Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you
are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST person?!
You’re not very good at this are you?
Very tricky math! Note: This must be done in your head only. Do
NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator.
Try it.
Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30..
add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10.
What is the total? Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually
4100.
Don’t believe it? Check your calculator!
Today is definitely not your day.
Maybe you will get the last question right?
Mary’s father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2 Nene,
3. Nini, 4. Nono.
What is the name of the fifth daughter?
Answer: Nunu? NO! Of course not. Her name is Mary.
