The bridge and a bear

This bridge is on the Old Donner Pass Highway .
It has a spectacular view of Donner Lake and Donner Pass on Route 80. ( I=80, about 40 miles west of Reno , NV , but still in California ).



A bear was walking across Rainbow Bridge ( Old Hwy 40 at
Donner Summit , Truckee ) on Saturday when two cars, also
crossing the bridge, scared the bear into jumping over the
edge of the bridge.  Somehow the bear caught the ledge
and was able to pull itself to safety.   A uthorities decided
that nothing could be done to help Saturday night so they
returned Sunday morning to find the bear sound asleep on
the ledge.




After securing a net under the bridge the bear was tranquilized,
fell into the net, lowered, then woke up and walked out of the net.




There is a moral to this story you know; this old bear made
a wrong move and found he was hanging by his nails. Somehow
he was able to pull himself up onto the ledge where he saw he
was in a very bad, impossible situation and what did he do?
Yep, he took a nap and sure enough God took care of the
situation while he was asleep.

The moral of the story is that when confronted with a bad
situation, sometimes the best solution is to take a nap and
let God take care of the rest.

Trailer Trash

I want to be trailer trash.  They did not cause any of the problems that our country faces today.  They did not get mortgages they couldn’t afford.  They did not run banks to the ground with greed.  They did not use investors for their personal benefit.  They don’t even belong to the unions that ask too much of their companies.

I’m tired of paying mortgage bills,
utility bills, property taxes.

I want to live more simply, pack up
the dogs and move into a travel-trailer.

I don’t mind being called ‘trailer trash’,
but I wanted to get your opinion.

Speed Trap


Two Texas Highway Patrol Officers were conducting speeding enforcement on Hwy 77, just south of  Kingsville, Tx. One of the officers was using a hand held radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching the town of Kingsville.The officers were suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading 300 miles per hour and climbing. The officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not reset and then it suddenly turned off.

Just then a deafening roar over the Mesquite treetops on Hwy 77 revealed that the radar had in fact locked on to a USMC F/A-18 Hornet which was engaged in a low flying exercise near this, it’s Naval Air home base location in Kingsville Tx.

Back at the Texas Highway Patrol Headquarters in Corpus Christi the Patrol Captain fired off a complaint to the US Naval Base Commander in Kingsville for shutting down his equipment.

The reply came back in true USMC style:

Thank you for your letter....

You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Hornet had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked on to, your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it, which is why it shut down.

Furthermore, an Air-to-Ground missile aboard the fully armed aircraft had also automatically locked on to your equipment's location.

Fortunately, the Marine Pilot flying the Hornet recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile system alert status and was able to override the automated defence system before the missile was launched to destroy the hostile radar position on the side of Hwy 77 So. of Kingsville...

The pilot suggests you cover your mouths when cussing at them, since the video systems on these jets are very high tech.

Sergeant Johnson, the officer holding the radar gun, should get his dentist to check his left rear molar. It appears the filling is loose. Also, the snap is broken on his holster.'
