Last weekend – I noticed some that contained pictographs!  Some of them I could figure out … some were harder … see what you think:

Now, here’s where we try to get relevant … April 7th is National Beer Day!  You see, back in 1933, the Cullen-Harrison Act went into effect on this date.  The Act didn’t repeal prohibition (that happened in December 1933 when the 21st Amendment was ratified), but it did allow folks to buy, sell and drink beer containing up to 3.2% alcohol by weight.  People across the country responded by gathering outside breweries, some beginning the night before.  On that first day, 1.5 million barrels of beer were consumed, inspiring the future holiday.

Yes sir … being head of security AND keeping all of you fine folks educated sure is hard work!  I hope everyone has a WONDERMOUS spring!

Sincerely,

Bubba

I'll tell you, too, that's starting to depress me about UFO's, about the fact that they cross galaxies, or wherever they come from to visit us, and always end up in places like Fife, Alabama.  Maybe these are not super-intelligent beings, man.

How would it be if we discovered that aliens only stopped by earth to let their kids take a leak?

Laughter, while it lasts, slackens and unbraces the mind, weakens the faculties and causes a kind of remissness and dissolution in all the powers of the soul; and thus it may be looked on as weakness in the composition of human nature.  But if we consider the frequent reliefs we receive from it and how often it breaks the gloom which is apt to depress the mind and damp our spirits, with transient, unexpected gleams of joy, one would take care not to grow too wise for so great a pleasure of life.

Joseph Addison

And lastly … from dad’s favorite alien:

The TV series ALF focused on an Alien Life Form named Gordon Shumway whose spaceship crashed into the garage of the Tanner family in Los Angeles.  Because his spaceship could not be repaired, he was stuck on earth and had no possibility to get back to his home planet Melmac.  The Tanners decided to hide ALF from the alien task force and so he was allowed to stay.  Most of the time he spend in the Tanner house, and although it was common to eat cats on Melmac, but he never ate Lucky, the Tanner family cat, but he constantly tried to:

[the cat Lucky has died and the Tanners are having a funeral for him] 

I'm reminded of a prayer he used to recite every night before going to bed, 'And if I die before I wake, chicken-fry me like a steak.'

Alf

HA!  I kill me!
