Bud's Funnies
"Inside me lives a skinny woman crying to get out. But I can usually shut her up with cookies."

"The hardest years in life are those between ten and seventy."
~ Helen Hayes (at age 73)
I was just wondering…
Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?
Why call it a building if it's already been built?
If a turtle loses its shell is it naked or homeless?
Why is it called a TV "set" when you only get one?
Why does an alarm clock "go off" when it begins ringing?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why isn't "palindrome" spelled the same way backwards as it is forwards?
From the Choir Loft
The church choir can use your help. No auditions necessary. All singers gratefully welcomed. We are a friendly group, who quickly embrace you into our ensemble. The music is easy. If you can’t read music, this is your chance to learn. Less than a commitment of one hour / week necessary. If you have any questions, call Bud at (716) 934-7734.

In the nation’s capital, in addition to the Lincoln Memorial, there is another statue of Lincoln worth seeing. It is a sculpture in bronze in the National Cathedral, of Lincoln kneeling in prayer.
Gazing upon it, the visitor is reminded of what the President once told his future secretary, Noah Brooks: “I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go.”
