One only had to go to Wikipedia to find a reference to Spain meaning "land of rabbits."
"It may also be a derivation of the Punic Ispanihad meaning "land of rabbits" or "edge", a reference to Spain's location at the end of the Mediterranean; Roman coins struck in the region from the reign of Hadrian show a female figure with a rabbit at her feet.[6] "

Is there a doctor in the house?
These are from last Friday night at Riverfest...Team "Lil bit o smoke" was cranking!
They look like surgeons at the operating table.
I was just trying to stay out of the way!
Pros at work! We had such a good time. Can't wait until next year!

USELESS INFO

Funny, funny, funny...
I really didn't have anything to blog about until I read this. It is too funny! To give credit where credit is due, I was on K. Snider's Facebook page and this guy, D. Grisham posted:
I heard Kanye West interrupted Patrick Swayze's funeral to say that Michael Jackson had "the best funeral of all time."
I thought it was hilarious! Have a good weekend. Go to Riverfest. I am going tonight.

I like a little adventure....

WICHITA, Kan. - A tender moment in a trash bin went all wrong for a couple who found themselves being held up at pocket knifepoint.
Police said two 44-year-olds had climbed into a dumpster to be alone just after 6 p.m. Saturday when two men interrupted them and demanded their belongings. Officers said the man and woman were engaged in "an intimate moment" when they were robbed of their shoes, jewelry and the man's wallet.
Police said one of the robbers was a 64-year-old man who egged his 59-year-old companion on during the robbery.
The suspects were found a short time later and the stolen property was returned.
