    It’s been awhile since we heard from Silver. He said something about feeling off his oats a few days ago, so Silver, if you’re reading this, feel better soon! Now then: the start of the summer travel season is never a good time to part ways, but occasionally, with a breakup comes Catharsis…A man and woman are having an “amicable” divorce after many years of marriage, but the husband has one question.“Dear, there’s something that’s been preying on my mind for a lot of years now. And since we’re splitting up, and it doesn’t really matter any longer, I hope you won’t mind answering me.”“Certainly; what’s your question?” she asks.“Well, we have five children, and they’re all a lot alike except for Little Johnny. I’ve always wondered, did Johnny have a different father?”Meekly, she answers, “Well…yes. Yes, he did.”“So, please,” he goes on. “Tell me who is Little Johnny’s father.”Taking a deep breath, she replies, “You are.”

    I think they need to invest in a few more beavers! Eat a beaver! Save a tree!

    I wonder why they just don’t build the dams themselves?

    Jason once travelled 764 miles, skied 24 ski resorts, all in 25 hours.

    @stevesilver48 you always enjoyed a good Catholic joke, so this one’s for you:

    Three nuns were talking. The first nun said “I was cleaning in the Fathers room the other day, and do you know what I found? A bunch of pornographic magazines.”

    “What did you do?” the other nuns asked.

    “Well, of course I threw them in the trash.”

    The second nun said, “Well I can top that. I was in the fathers room putting away the laundry, and I found a bunch of condoms!”

    “Oh my!” gasped the other nuns. “What did you do?”

    “I poked holes in all of them!”

    The third nun fainted.

    So I trust Justin and Siggy produced several dam cute little buck-toothed beevs.

    Take care, may stern but fun loving beaver whisperer Ward “Drink Your Milk And Clean Your Room And Life Will Be Perfect” Cleavord be with you, and gesundheit.

    Would like to see a map showing the ski resorts and the time they arrived at each one. At 70mph they would have been driving 11 hrs leaving only 13hrs to get out of their vehicle, gear up, ride ski lift, get back in vehicle and go. If in Northern Hemisphere, daylight would have been limited so all the resorts would have had to be rigged for night use. On a scale of 1-10 this is probably a 5.

    So there’s these two beavers, one is named Joe and the other Steven.

    It’s dinner time, so Joe and Steven have a fire going. Joe decides he’s hungry so he grabs a pan and some sticks.

    Steven runs over and says, “Joe what are you doing?”

    Joe replies, “I’m just grilling up some sticks.”

    Steven immediately smacks the pan from Joe’s paw and says, “JOE! THAT’S A NON STICK PAN!”

    DARPA has been developing exoskeletons for a few decades and this is the best use. Next step, life size Gundams.

    So, apropos of absolutely nothing, a coincidence in my life. Last night, after 56+ years of being an Oregonian, I actually saw a wild beaver! He was swimming in the creek behind my house. Observation: he was huge. If you ever wonder “Was that a nutria or a beaver,” it was a nutria (introduced nuisance species) unless it looked to be about 80+ lbs.

    Odd second fact: according to professional trappers, there are more beaver in Oregon today than there were during the fur-trapping heyday of the Hudson Bay Company.
