Today's Question(s):

Lets talk about Mail

Where is your mailbox located
End of driveway ?
Little box on the wall by front door ?
Mail slot in door ?
Cluster mailbox ?
Other ? Mail slot in garage wall.

Bonus Question:

You may find this surprising, I am not afraid to hike up a mountain but when it comes to parachuting out of an airplane I am a real weenie ?

Extra Credit Question:

Are you going to "Spring ahead"
Before going to bed tonight ?
When you get up tomorrow morning ?
Sometime with in the next week ?
We don't "spring ahead" where I live ? No springing here.

For those of you that normally don't set the alarm on the weekends. Will you set the alarm tomorrow morning because of the time change so you won't be late for Church,breakfast etc ?

Just for Fun:

How many tries did it take for you to pass your drivers license test ? Passed the first time.

Do you own a pair of earmuffs ? No.

How about "Fanny Packs", got any ? No way, never had, never did them.

Today in History:
1781 - Sir William Herschel sees "comet" ,turns out he discovered the planet Uranus. Always wondered why he named it that instead of butt-us or crack-us. Was he a Doctor or did he just look in the mirror naming it after his tush-us.

1935 - Driving tests introduced in Great Britain. After all these years they still don't get it. They're so opposite us.

Word of the Day:
erudite \AIR-yuh-dyt; -uh-dyt\ , adjective;

International Fanny Pack Day. Where's the thumbs down icon.
