Laugh Lines!!

I am not one to read the newspaper as it just depresses me. I do, on occasion, pick up the "Tidbits" paper of various cities in the area. I found an article from the March issue that stuck my funny bone.

Wordless Wednesday - Whistler

How many Aimee Thomas's?

There are 127 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

Oh, Canada!

As I sit in the airport and are delayed 3 1/2 hours, I can reflect on the rest of my trip. (Pictures still to come - must have left the cable at home!)

I was told, and I told, lots of "Bob" stories. Fun was had by all except the source of the entertainment. It's a good thing that my husband has a sense of humor. -- Although, being married to me, he must. -- We ate, drank and were merry. Does water count as "drink"? Anyway, we tolled the village and were amazed by the prices everywhere. I thought Vale was expensive, but not compared to Whistler.

Point of fact:

The hoary marmot (Marmota caligata) is a species of marmot that inhabits the mountains of northwest North America. The largest populations are in Alaska. In the northern part of that state they may live near sea level. Hoary marmots live near the tree line on slopes with grasses and forbs to eat and rocky areas for cover. It is the largest North American ground squirrel and is often nicknamed "the whistler" for its high-pitched warning issued to alert other members of the colony to possible danger. The animals are sometimes called "whistle pigs." Whistler, British Columbia is said to be named for these animals.[1]

These are the things we learn when there are a bunch of drunk people, and we use them for entertainment, lots of trivial facts.

Overall, it was a great time spent with my husband and people I haven't seen in a year. Hopefully, we will get to go to Bali next year. Of course, that would be somewhere with a beach, my husband couldn't get that lucky.

Wish us luck on getting back today. We may get to stay at the airport until tomorrow. I can hardly wait!!
