Ok – Two Weeks Is Enough
Had a lovely break. Got some new glasses, some prescription swimming sight utensils, a pair of deck shoes, a haircut, booked some swimming lessons and a physical and bought a cool hat. Basically, nothing. What did you expect. I did manage to stock up some good stuff as well. Enjoy this beauty.
The Arrogance of Authority
A DEA officer stopped at a ranch in Texas, and talked with an old rancher.
He told the rancher, “I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs.”The rancher said, “Okay , but don’t go in that field over there…..”, as he pointed out the location.
The DEA officer verbally exploded saying, ” Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me!”
Reaching into his rear pants pocket, the arrogant officer removed his badge and proudly displayed it to the rancher.
“See this badge?! This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish…. On any land !!
No questions asked or answers given!! Have I made myself clear……do you understand ?!!”
The rancher nodded politely, apologized, and went about his chores.
A short time later, the old rancher heard loud screams, looked up, and saw the DEA officer running for his life, being chased by the rancher’s big Santa Gertrudis bull……
With every step the bull was gaining ground on the officer, and it seemed likely that he’d sure enough get gored before he reached safety. The officer was clearly terrified.
The rancher threw down his tools, ran to the fence and yelled at the top of his lungs…..
(I just love this part….)
“Your badge, show him your BADGE…….. ! !”

I’ve worked for that agent…
Good to see you John. Sounds like a fun break.
Gearing up for the big vacay. You going to be around for a beer?
Yep. Just buzz me when you’re around.
(Text message if you can.Turns out reception sucks on the 50th floor.)
Will look forward to it.
Hey, where’s my invite? I’m jealous.
Glad you had moments of the mundane. Seriously – one more photo from another amazing vacation spot and I might have to thump you on the head. Why is it, though, that even when you buy a pair of deck shoes and a cool hat it sounds better than my life? haha!
See you there. We land in Newark around 7 pm. Then fly out in the morning. Hoping to catch some NYC night life before we head out. And my deck shoes that I ordered are no longer available. Now I have to go shopping again lol. Time for another break.
hi there! I’m not sure if I’m the only one, but your pics didn’t show up, didn’t matter, I loved the story!
Probably me. Been a while and I know what I did wrong lol. They weren’t major How you been. Have to stop by and catch up on your adventures.
I’m OK, how about you? I’m a bit down on blogging lately, hope it’s just a phase.
All is good. Gearing up for vacation. I find the odd break here and there regenerates oneself. Feel great after a few weeks off. Even cut off the reading for a bit. You’ll get it back.
LMAO
