It all started when I was looking at the stars and saw a planet I never saw before. There was a hazy red glow around it, and above it hovered the word XOROX. All of a sudden, a huge spaceship flew down next to me. I tried to run, but it grabbed me. Then two odd-looking creatures brought me inside. They said not to be afraid, that they had seen me looking at their planet and had decided to give me a visit. Wow, was I excited!

As we landed and I stepped out, all the people stared at me, so I was embarrassed and my face turned red. They weren't little green men, but they had their differences. Like the people on earth, and their transportation vehicles were the oddest things you could ever imagine. Then they showed me one of their schools. The teacher looked funny, and sitting in the corner was a stupid-looking kid with a Zorp cap on his head. After school, they

took me to their home, which was the neatest-looking house ever. They were watching ZellaVision, and Zoom was on. Then they told me about Zolzon who was king of Xorox and would keep me there if I didn't leave before the stars came out. So they took me back home. When we got back to Earth, Zara, a girl my age from Xorox, gave me a flower that would never die. Then they said goodbye and lifted off while I waved to them.

I'll never forget that trip to Xorox, and I'll especially never forget Zara. Which wristwatch was a Swiss wristwatch? Whitch, Which, Which? It's a Swiss Swiss with watch gun! What's... What's... Which wristwatch is a Swiss which watch? Which, What's what? Witch, Watch which. Switch what is it, which wristwatch is The Swiss wristwatch. I don't get it. There's one thing you don't need for this, zoom goody and that's a ball all you need is a good old broom and a barrel and first of all all you add is one cup of enjoying life And three ounces of friendship, a wee bit of excitement, just for flavor.

Stirring lots of fun. Don't forget a big helping of love. Now, top it off with not a cherry, but nice thoughts about nice people. And there you have it. A nice person. thank you thank you for my trick today we have the dice in the box trick just set that in i haven't even started yet thank you just wanted to show you there was nothing inside the box. Nothing? All right. All right. Can I test it? You can get a little closer. Look. See? Good. It's a box. Now. Now, we'll just take this and we'll place it inside like that. Yeah, but let me see the number that you've stuck inside, please. Why? Oh,

Here is the desk. Hey, anybody want to play?

Thank you. let's play monopoly with that very much unique new york unique new york new york unique new york unique new york unique new york new york unique you're not Very clear sky, 7 a.m. temperature, 12 degrees, and a light northwest wind of 5 to 10 knots. Also, there's an estimated 6 inches of good ice. to do ice fishing there usually has to be at least three or four inches of good solid ice not soft

Once I have the hole chopped, I sink a line to see just how deep the pond is, and where I want to be fishing is a foot off the bottom, so I'll set my minnow up that high. Once I've got the minnow down to the correct depth, I set the trap in the hole, and when the flag goes up, then I know I have a strike.

Most people don't like the cold. I like it. I'll usually stay on the ice anywhere from five to eight hours. during the ice fishing season, the colder it gets, the happier I am. When I get a flag, I run over and look down in the hole and try to figure out what kind of fish it is. I can usually pretty well estimate the size of the fish, but for example, I thought I had a pickerel on one day and I came out with a two-foot eel. Thank you.

Ice fishing report for Thursday, the location was on Nonesuch Pond. I fished holes numbers 26 through 35 and their depths were 8 or 8.5 feet on all of them. I keep pretty elaborate records of all the different aspects and variables of ice fishing to sort of perfect myself, but you can never perfect anything in fishing. If you could perfect all the aspects and have it down to a line, then it wouldn't be any fun anyway. Comments for the day are, I think it was very good during the morning, but then it really

slowed down towards the end of the day and didn't pick up for the remainder of the day. And this concludes your report. Well, to tell you the truth, I'll go out on any day that I can. Just about rain, snow, wind, sleep, hail, I go. Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money, maybe we're ragged and funny, but we'll travel alone, Singing a song side by side Don't know what's coming tomorrow Maybe it's trouble and sorrow But we'll travel the road Sharing our load side by side Through all kinds of weather What if the sky should fall

Cause it's bigger than us all. Side by side. I said side by side. Woo! Side by side. I said side by side. Yeah! Side by side, I said side by side. Hey, Professor.

A few weeks ago, I asked the kids to send in some pictures of the invisible dog. Lucas, I didn't know you did that. Well, let's take a look at some. Okay.
