City officials and the Edward Ray Family will be there for the unveiling of new sign for the park. Public is invited. “Ed” Ray will be long remembered as a local hero and the Chowchilla school bus driver, who along with 26 children, were kidnapped on July 15, 1976. After being driven around for 11 hours in two vans, Ed and the children were entombed in a buried van trailer at a Livermore quarry. Thanks to Ed Ray and a few boys, after being buried alive for 16 hours, they all escaped through a van roof, that had been weighted down. Please come celebrate with Ed’s Family at this dedication ceremony of the Edward Ray Park. Politically Correct Verbage Ever want to call someone stupid, but want to do it in a way that is politically correct? Here’s some suggestions: A few clowns short of a circus A few fries short of a Happy Meal A few beers short of a six-pack Doesn’t have all his cornflakes in one box. The wheel’s spinning but the hamster’s dead. One Fruit Loop shy of a full bowl. All foam, no beer Warning: Objects in mirror are dumber than they appear The elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top floor Missing a few buttons on his remote control. No grain in the silo As smart as bait The cheese slid off his cracker Important Notice: Due to recent budget cuts, the stock market crash, and rising cost of electricity, gas, and oil, the light at the end of the tunnerl has been turned off. We apologize for the inconvenience. The Government Quote of the Week Some days I just wished I had the wisdom of a 90 year old, the body of a 20 year old and the energy of a 3 year old. I wish there was a way to donate fat like you can donate blood. I was told I don’t have alzheimers. I have “some-timers”...sometimes I remember, sometimes I don’t. A cop pulled a blonde over for speeding and said, “Papers….” The blonde said, “Scissors, I win!” and then drove off… Life is too short to be serious all the time. So if you can’t laugh at yourself, just call us and we’ll laugh at you. SOME SENIOR BUMPER STICKERS: I’m retired. I was tired yesterday. I’m tired again today. At my age...happy hour is a nap! I’m speeding because I have to get there before I forget where I’m going!

Two things define you. Your patience when you have nothing, and your attitude when you have everything. CAN YOU READ THIS??? I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in what oerdr the ltteres in a word are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is that the frsit and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it whotuit a pboerlm. This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! One Day the Devil challenged the Lord to a baseball game. Smiling the Lord proclaimed, "You don't have a chance, I've got Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, and all the greatest players up here." "Yes", laughed the devil, "but I have all the umpires!" Once upon a time, a Prince asked a beautiful Princess, "Will you marry me?" The Princess said, "No!!!" And the Prince lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and dated skinny long-legged women and hunted and fished and raced cars and went to bars and dated ladies half his age and drank whiskey, beer and imported Scotch and never heard complaining and never paid child support or alimony and kept his house and guns and ate spam and potato chips and beans and all his friends and family thought he was cool and he had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up. The end. Please remember, it’s just a fairy tale! The secret of staying young is to live honestly...eat slowly...and lie about your age. GREAT TRUTHS ADULTS HAVE LEARNED 1) Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree. 2) Wrinkles don't hurt. 3) Families are like fudge...mostly sweet, with a few nuts 4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground. 5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside. 6) Old age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy. SOME PUNS When you get a bladder infection, urine trouble. What does a clock do when it's hungry? It goes back four seconds. I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me!
