More From My Friend

The same lady who sent along "Jose" below also sends this:

My friend posted this on Facebook & although I stole it & posted it too, I was afraid y'all wouldn't see it.  Absolutely hilarious!

...Only in Arab...or Blount County. This is a true story- A lady in Arab cares for a mentally challenged man in Blount County. She called to check on him before retiring to bed, night before last. He told her about his day, then before hanging up he said "by the way, I caught a troll today". She didn't think much about it at the time, because he is mentally challenged and had said some things in the past that were kind of "off the wall". Yesterday, she was unable to go by and see him, but he was still saying he had caught a troll. Today, when she went by to check on him, after chatting for a while, she asked him "now tell me about that troll". He said "oh, I've still got it!". He took her into his bedroom, and all of his furniture was pushed against the closet door and she could hear someone yelling for help. A midget Jehovah's Witness had knocked on his door two days before and he caught him. True story.

I STILL crack up every time I even think about this.

So... it's yet another beautiful day here on The High Plains of New Mexico.  I spent the best part of the morning out and about, just reveling in the warm temps and relatively calm atmosphere.  I fully expect to see my cherry tree burst into bloom any ol' day now.
