If the earth is spinning at more than 1000 mph at the equator why isn't everything thrown off? It seems to me that the only safe place would be at the north and south poles, and even there you should get a little dizzy!
Why, despite generations of evidence to the contrary, do people still think that having children is a good idea?
Why does nothing ever turn out the way you expect it, and why is that so hard to get used to?
What do Mennonites buy at Walmart?
Why do the keypads at the drivethrough banking have braille lettering on them?
Why does my pool leak, and why have I not turned it into a flower bed yet?
Why do trees always grow in the wrong places?
Where did the last 54 years disappear to?
Why can't I get drunk anymore?
Why do we dream when we sleep, and what does it mean?
Why would a doctor prescribe a medication the side effects of which are described as being "difficult to distinguish from the illness" it is supposed to treat?
Why, when I feel so tired can I still go out and effortlessly ride 54 kms?
....but the greatest mystery of all is way beyond me...help me with this if you can
Why did Neil Young shoot his baby down by the river?
A few other things.
Thanks John, you're as quick to compliment as you are to critique, and I chersih both.
Thanks Stella, for reminding me that I'm one of the lucky ones. Prayers for your friend.
Elly, I don't think I'm ready to go there. You're gonna have to coach me.
Betty, I'm sure your right about the tent.
Old Roo, I'm okay with warm as long as you can find a place where my phone won't work, and you can't get access to facebook.
And lastly, no Cory you can not come! Well.......... alright then!

I want to know....
Why every time I go to the washroom the toilet paper roll is empty?
Why is it that when I get in my car that is seems to always be on empty?
and the best "Why' yet
Why I was so lucky to meet such a great person like my husband?
Love Old Roo
I have no answers for you questions except I don't think that having kids was the main idea as much as having sex was for all those generations. Also I dug through some good Uncle Neil clips and figured I'd share this gem; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v5E27Fp59c&feature=player_embedded# Which raises the other mystery or the universe: When will fringed sleeves come back in style?? (Not soon enough I say!)
First of all, it just seems at times that children are a bad idea, but really they are the only way for us to redeem ourselves as members of the human race, as grandparents! Also, I'd be willing to bet that you have learned so many important things from being a parent so just imagine what an idiot you would be if it weren't for them! Having 4 each, you and I must have had a lot to learn!
The last 54 years have not disappeared, they are all inside you, which is why I particularly appreciate that you are putting your insides on the outside!
Getting drunk is over rated!
Anger can make you tired, but riding is a great way to let a little of it go, which feels great...it will help even more if you really think about letting it go while you ride.
I don't try to figure out Neil...I just enjoy!
Finally, it'd never too late for your flower bed!
love you
Children are the greatest thing we have. Without children, our world would be pretty bleak, I feel. For an example of this, look at the film 'Children of Men'. If all women were to become infertile right now, how would we be doing?
Working with them everyday, they constantly remind me what is really important.
