THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

Hey, Gentle Readers, sit back and relax in a comfortable chair.

This is going to be a long one.

I would guess all Internet browsers have become used to this changing sign in front of a business.

Well, there's a new challenger on the scene.

It's the Indian Hills Community Center, up around Evergreen, Colorado.

And whoever changes the sign has a wild and wacky sense of humor.

And finally, if you're still with me, this one is my personal favorite.

That's it, folks.

I know you're tired so I'll spare you the alliteration this week.

Just have a great weekend and always remember to keep laughing.

Here, kitty-kitty . . .

(oh, wow, one catscan coming up!)

VISITING A CAT HOUSE

Oh, it's not what you think, you nasty people.

It's the BRD's home and its furry occupants.

BOO!

Just a reminder in case you haven't been in a store recently . . .

. . . Halloween is only 7 weeks away!

WET

A friend in North Carolina reminded me today that Hurricane Florence was bearing down on the East Coast.

I replied to him that this, or any time, is a good time to live in Arizona.

PATRIOT WEEK

It seems to me that every week should be Patriot Week.

But be that as it may this week is officially Patriot Week in Prescott Valley.

It started in 2012 when 1,200 flags flew on the green at the Civic Center grounds.

Since then it's been expanded and now some 3,000 flags are there for the victims of 9-11.

Each flagpole represents a victim and has a tag with the name and some information about him or her.

Those with boots represent a policeman or firefighter who died on September 11th, 2001.

The organizers call it the Healing Fields and the local firefighters and civilian volunteers who put up the flags are usually around to answer questions from the curious.

Tonight there will be a youth concert at the Green.

Wednesday evening the reknowned trumpeter Jesse McGuire will headline a concert at the same place.

The flags will stay  in place through next Friday.

As you walk through the field of flags and read some of the cards attached to the poles the solemnity should reach you.

Give it a visit if you're in our area.
