Mom had forgotten her house keys, so we knocked loudly, first at the back door and then the front and side doors. We yelled my father's name over and over, with no answer. The car horn aroused the neighbors but no one at our house. We drove into town and phoned home, finally waking Steven. When we got back, he let us in. Dad was in bed, snoring, with the television on. Mom quietly switched it off. Dad woke right up. "Don't turn that off," he said. "I'm watching it!" ______________________________________________________   Grand Island East Channel Lighthouse Lighthouse in the Alger County, Michigan _____________________________________________________

 ___________________________________________________   An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Ricardo Portillo-Gonzalez, 50, Port Richey, Florida  Florida Driver's Blood Alcohol Content Was More Than 8X Legal Limit  A Florida motorist's blood alcohol content was more than eight times the legal limit when he was arrested yesterday for careening across the road, hitting two guardrails, and nearly striking other vehicles, cops report. Ricardo Portillo-Gonzalez, 50, was pulled over Sunday afternoon by a Pinellas County Sheriff's Office corporal after police issued multiple be-on-the-lookout warnings after receiving witness reports about a dangerous driver. When Portillo-Gonzalez was contacted, a cop noted that he smelled of booze, had bloodshot, glassy eyes, and was unsteady on his feet. A subsequent breathalyzer test registered Portillo- Gonzalez's blood alcohol content at .66 (the legal limit is .08). A second test recorded the suspect's BAC at .64. Seen above, Portillo-Gonzalez was arrested for drunk driving and booked into the county jail on the misdemeanor charge. The El Salvador native, who works for a lawn care company, was released from custody early this morning after posting $500 bond (and sobering up). Portillo-Gonzalez, who lives in Port Richey, a Tampa suburb, is scheduled for a December 10 court appearance.

 One day, Do visited a doctor for a vaccination. After the doctor gave Do an injection, he tried to bandage around Do's arm. "I think you'd better bandage around the other arm, doc!" asked Do. "But, why? I'm supposed to bandage around the injected part of your arm to let your friends know not to touch it." "You really don't have a clue about how kids behave, do you?"

 Two elderly ladies meet at the launderette after not seeing one another for some time. After inquiring about each other's health one asked how the other's husband was doing. "Oh! Ted died last week. He went out to the garden to dig up a cabbage for dinner, had a heart attack and dropped down dead right there in the middle of the vegetable patch!" "Oh dear! I'm very sorry." replied her friend "What did you do?" "Opened a can of peas instead." ___________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Browning Flour for Gravy  The key to having appealing looking brown gravy, rather than pale gravy, is to brown the flour you use to thicken the gravy. Brown the flour in a skillet before adding liquid. Be sure to keep the heat low so it doesn't burn.  For really fine gourmet gravy first gently sautee finely chopped onions with a bit of butter until they are about hazelnut brown. Do NOT go check your email during that, or else the onions will get black and bitter corners. When they are evenly browned, sprinkle some flour over them and stir until it too is evenly browned. Then stand back and with a longhandled ladle pour a ladle full water into the frying pan. The miniature steam explosion will tear apart any flour balls and you will get a smooth and delicious gravy. Add salt and pepper and whatever herbs and spices are called for, and let it simmer for a while. You can enhance the flavor by sprinkling some Hungarian paprika over the onions before you sprinkle the flour. It needs the hot butter to unlock it's flavor. Enjoy!
