The FBI announced today they have hired Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Jet Li, and Jackie Chan to train their “field” (torture) agents to protect themselves against “knife” (i.e, banana) attacks using simple martial arts techniques.

Bureaucracy, Foolery, Inc.?
In buffoonery news, a national agency admitted it was a banana, not a knife, which the victim launched at an agent.
The agent is at hospital, recovering from wounds directly attributable to slipping on a banana peel, and is expected to recover.
The banana fruit, unfortunately, died on the scene.
Following in their commander-in-chief’s footsteps, no one will take responsibility for murdering the banana thrower.
Studious
I always wondered why I performed better on tests in classrooms where I had not only listened to lectures but also completed my homework and studied for the next quiz.

Does our short-sightedness reflect something else?
Thus, watching a film, The Human Stain, to discover if so and why.
Time for a change of course
The rudder, bent by a strong riptide, pulls me in a new direction.
Not, not by these characters:
Instead, a friend of mine, Karen Hawkins, has asked me to read and critique on amazon.com her latest release, How to Pursue a Princess:

Roasted, not toasted
Thanks to our host at Wolf Mountain Winery, we learned that some of the best Arabica seeds are used in Community Coffee.
Thanks to Samantha at Walmart.
But an extra special thanks to my wife and Fay for making a dinner of country ham, pole beans, mashed potatoes, biscuits and strawberries.
What does an M.D., his wife and friends do when it’s pouring rain outside? Watch episodes of Doc Martin, of course!
Great rainy day. Up to our gills.
Thanks to Amber and crew at Wolf Mountain Winery.
Festivals and fiddles
Happy musicians at downtown Dahlonega, surrounded by artisans, artists and architecture.
