Amazing time
Ohh cool a spell checker. I do hope it knows the 'local' way of spelling things. LOL

Rhine
The Rhine river is at its lowest level in over 100 years of record keeping. The reduction of water flowing down the river has ships in a quandry when they are unable to reach the docks. Rocks, gravel and litter have been exposed as the water withdraws.
Now we are able to see what the litter louts have been doing with their cans, bottles etc. I wonder if the local town and city governers are taking this rare oppertunity to clean up the garbage and repair the waterway edges? With the water at a low point is this a good time to get to the flood defences and reinforce them for the winter floods?

A Hole-in-one
There was this preacher who was an avid golfer. Every chance he could get, he could be found on the golf course swinging away. It was an obsession. One Sunday was a picture perfect day for golfing. The sun was out, no clouds in the sky, and the temperature was just right.
The preacher was in a quandary as to what to do, and shortly, the urge to play golf overcame him. He called an assistant to tell him that he was sick and could not do church, packed the car up, and drove three hours to a golf course where no one would recognize him. Happily, he began to play the course.
An angel up above was watching the preacher and was quite perturbed. He went to God and said, "Look at the preacher. He should be punished for what he is doing." God nodded in agreement. The preacher teed up on the first hole. He swung at the ball, and it sailed effortlessly through the air and landed right in the cup three hundred and fifty yards away. A picture perfect hole-in-one. He was amazed and excited.
The angel was a little shocked. He turned to God and said, "Begging Your pardon, but I thought you were going to punish him?!"
God smiled. "Think about it -- who can he tell?"
