President Obama’s Secret Weapon

DSCN1021[1]

Today I heard part of a speech where Barack  Obama was championing civil rights. To paraphrase part of that speech, here is what he declared: “because of what happened when they marched over that bridge, a white girl and a black man could have a child, and Barack Obama Jr. was born.”

Republicans are saying that President Obama is ignorant on civil rights and American history, because of the fact that he was born before that march. But that couldn’t be true, because he’s a Harvard graduate, and you know how hard it is to get a Harvard degree these days.

Using sophisticated detective techniques, I found out why he said what appears to be a gaffe.

He’s got a time machine.

You’re looking at the world’s first photo of the plans for that machine at the top of the page.

Using the time machine, Barack Obama Jr. went back in history, saw that civil rights march happen, and said, “I’ll have myself born before the march, knowing what a great place America is going to become in the past.”

Pure genius.

It’s no wonder he was able to graduate from Harvard and not have to release his university transcripts.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to hop into that time machine and see who I should have voted for coming up back in 2012. This is going to be easy.

That’s One Scared Bat

We only have one bat in the cave at Glenwood Caverns. And he likes to sleep next to the light in the cave.

I think he’s afraid of the dark.

When he was a baby bat his older brother probably told him stories of humans hiding in the closet ready to jump out at him if he got up to go the the bathroom, or run to the freezer to grab a pack of blueberries to eat in bed.

So he sleeps next to the light right where the noisy tourists go in and out the door.

“A BAT!” yells a little girl as she points to the ceiling. The bat wakes up, and looks around, his big ears rotating like radars. No wait, they are radars.

When his buddies return this fall they probably will ask him, “How was your summer in the cave?”

The little bat no doubt will reply, “I didn’t sleep a wink.”

Nighty night bat. Set your snooze alarm for this evening.

Modern Gene Autry

DSCN0293

Yeeee Hawwww! Here are two of my daughters, Heidi (white shirt), and Christina (blue bandana) riding in Redstone, Colorado.

Both ride well, sing like meadowlarks, play guitar, saw on the violin delightfully, and carry big knives. Did I mention that they carry big knives? They can throw a rope, shoot straight, and skin an elk. Did I mention that they can skin an elk?

I have heaps of fun with these gals and I’m one proud papa.

Heidi is singing in Denver in a few weeks, and wants me to back her up on my banjo. To be honest, she’s really good by herself.

A modern Gene Autry, that’s what she is.

Yeeeee Hawwww!

Russian Missile Narrowly Misses Camp

DSCN0326

Recently, this Russian Tomahawk missile landed just beyond the boys bathroom at a camp located in Marble, Colorado. Fortunately the campers were all in chapel, and the warhead (made in China) didn’t detonate.

Camp staff discovered the missile while chasing a squirrel that had stolen the camp director’s secret recipe for wookalar pie. The squirrel ran up the missile and sat on the still-smoking fins.

NORAD tracking experts admitted to not detecting the missile as it flew over 90 percent of the US, narrowly missing 13 commercial jets, and a truck driver from Indiana who had tied helium balloons to a lawn chair and was floating above the small town of Wakarusa.

Authorities at the Department of Defense stated that the public was never in any danger, because the missile is actually made from an old telephone pole, and had a very imprecise flight path.

The biggest mystery is why the Russian Army didn’t detach the wheel before launching the missile. It’s supposed that the launch captain was on Twitter at the moment.
