OFF THE WALL! by Patricia L. Cook
There have been important walls throughout history. Some for protection, some to keep people in or out, many as historical monuments and some just to keep tomatoes warm! • The walls of Jericho had been built and rebuilt many times when Joshua and the Israelites arrived. According to Joshua 6 in the Bible, the Israelites marched around the city seven times, the priests blew their trumpets, the people shouted and the walls fell. Three major archaeological expeditions have uncovered evidence supporting the event. • Quebec City is the capital of the province of Quebec, Canada and has the only historic city walls in the Americas north of Mexico. Construction of these walls began in 1694 and, following capture by the British via the “Battle of the Plains of Abraham” in 1759, they were fortified. If you visit and want to stay in the historic area, ask for a hotel “within the walls.” • Wall Street in New York City really did begin as a wall! In the 1600s, Dutch settlers built a defensive wall to protect themselves from a possible British attack. The wall was later removed and a street was installed and named Wall, which is famous all over the world for its financial markets. • Vancouver, BC has a seawall around the city’s first park which is one of its major tourist attractions. Stanley Park is 1,000 acres (400 hectares) of natural bliss. The seawall was started in 1917 for erosion control and it was not until 1980 that it became a fully completed paved loop. The seawall around the park is 5.4 miles (9 km) and part of the seaside path system.

Page 2 OFF THE WALL! (continued) • Galveston, Texas was a prominent city in the late 1880s with a busy port for cotton and other exports as well as immigration. It was the “Wall Street of the South.” Its industrial and residential growth changed when a hurricane decimated the area in 1900. From 1902-1904 a massive seawall was constructed. At that time it was 3.3 miles (5.3 km) long. Today it is 10 miles (16 km) long, approximately 17 feet (5.2 m) high and 16 feet (4.9 m) thick at its base. Waves topped the seawall causing extensive damage when Hurricane Ike hit the area on September 12, 2008, forcing the first major repairs to the seawall in its 105 year history. Galveston is now open for business! • “Wall Street” vs. “Main Street” are terms used to distinguish big business or wealthy interests from small business or middle class. • T h e Great Wall of China is approximately 5,000 miles (8046 kilometers) long. It consists of many walls that were connected in an attempt to protect China from Mongolian invaders. The longest manmade structure in the world was built over a period of 2,000 years. It was started in the Qin Dynasty (221-206 B.C.) but most major construction was during the Ming Dynasty (13881644 A.D.). Hiking the wall allows you to feel ancient history under your feet! • Wall Drug is not a historic or defensive wall… but is historical in its own rite! More than 2.2 million visitors a year stop at the gigantic shopping experience on Interstate 90 in Wall, South Dakota. It is 77,000 square feet (app. 7153 square meters) and claims its impetus for growth was signs offering free ice water. • Have you heard of the “Green Monster?” It is the nickname for the 37 foot 2 inch tall (11.3 meters) left field wall at Boston’s Fenway Park. Baseball fans are surely aware of this famous landmark. In early days it was called “The Wall.” • Following a 1995 mudslide onto the town of La Conchita, California, Ventura County spent $450,000 to construct a retaining wall for protection against future mudslides. A second mudslide in 2005 proved the wall to be insufficient as cascading

mud and rock overcame it. La Conchita is in a beautiful area near Santa Barbara, but may be a little too precarious for most of us! • At the first Battle of Bull Run, in the U.S. Civil War, on July 21, 1861, General Thomas J. Jackson was nicknamed “Stonewall.” General Bernard E. Bee declared, “There is Jackson standing like a stone wall.”

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Travel plans could be interrupted by the re-emergence of a workplace problem that was never quite fully resolved. Deal with it at once, and then take off on that well-deserved trip. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Aspects favor cultural activities for sensuous Bovines. Attend a concert or an art show. Better yet, create something yourself (a poem, perhaps?), and dedicate it to someone special. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Respect any doubts you might now be feeling about a new situation. They could be reflecting your inner awareness that some essential information might be missing. Check it out. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It’s important to start the new month with as clean a slate as possible. Either complete all those unfinished tasks or pass them on to others who would be more than happy to take them on. LEO (July 23 to August 22) This is a good time to cut down on expenses and tame that urge to splurge. Applying some financial discipline now could help the Big Cat ride out a possible monetary crunch later on. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Money matters are dominant this week. Recheck your accounts and make sure they’re up-to-date. Also, pay more attention to personal issues before they become major problems. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might be tempted to employ the same tactics as your adversary, but that could backfire. Better to use the same balanced approach that has worked for you before and could again. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A changing workplace environment could stir up confusion as well as apprehension. Best to ignore the rumors and get the facts. You could find that the changes bring positive elements. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Communication is easier this week with people ready and eager to hear what you have to say. Also, check for possible technical problems before you start your new project. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Aspects favor change for the usually traditional Goat. Opening your mind to possibilities you had ignored could lead you to make decisions you once considered improbable. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Making personal as well as professional adjustments to changing conditions might be easier with more information explaining the “hows” and “whys” of the situations in question. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) With a growing tide of positive reactions to buoy your confidence, this could be the right time to put the finishing touches to your new project and get it well and truly launched. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for setting an example of quiet, calm reasoning in the midst of chaotic conditions.

WEEKLY FUNNIES
By Samantha Weaver • It was beloved comedian Bill Cosby who made the following sage observation: “I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.” • Before the 1800s, lobster was not considered to be the delicacy it is today. In fact, the crustacean was so ill-regarded as a food source that only the very poor -- such as widows, orphans and servants -- ate them. • Famed 19th-century Russian composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky wasn’t just a musical genius. With the ability to fluently speak Russian, French and German by the time he was 6 years old, he evidently had a gift for languages, too. • At 50 feet in diameter, the world’s largest clock is the Colgate Clock. If you want to see it in person, you’ll have to travel to Jersey City, N.J., to do so. • Besides having successful careers in film, what do Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise, Sela Ward and Lucy Liu have in common? All of them had an engineer for a father. TV stars Mila Kunis and Ray Romano did, too, as did singer Mariah Carey. • When the popular word game Scrabble was first put on the market in 1938, the game’s creator, Alfred Mosher Butts, received only 5 cents for each game that was sold. • When he was in college, comedian and TV host David Letterman was fired from his job as a disc jockey. • Considering the franchise’s longevity, you might be surprised to learn that the original “Star Trek” series never did better than 52nd place in the ratings during its relatively brief three-year stint on TV in the late 1960s.

Thought for the Day: “The nice thing about being a celebrity is that when you bore people, they think it’s their fault.” -- Henry Kissinger
Two neighbors were talking about work, when one asked, “Say, why did the foreman fire you?” Replied the second, “Well, you know how a foreman is always standing around and watching others do the work. My foreman got jealous. People started thinking I was the foreman.” The mother of a problem child was advised by a psychiatrist, “You are far too upset and worried about your son. I suggest you take tranquilizers regularly.” On her next visit the psychiatrist asked, “Have the tranquilizers calmed you down?” “Yes,” the boy’s mother answered. “And how is your son now?” the psychiatrist asked. “Who cares?” the mother replied. The aspiring psychiatrists were attending their first class on emotional extremes. “Just to establish some parameters,” said the professor to the student from Arkansas, “What is the opposite of joy?” “Sadness,” said the student. And the opposite of depression?” he asked of the young lady from Oklahoma. “Elation,” said she. “And you sir,” he said to the young man from Texas, “how about the opposite of woe?” The Texan replied, “Sir, I believe that would be giddy-up.” You’ve all heard of the Air Force’s ultrahigh-security, super-secret base in Nevada, known simply as “Area 51?” Well, late one afternoon, the Air Force folks out at Area 51 were very surprised to see a Cessna landing at their “secret” base. They immediately impounded the aircraft and hauled the pilot into an interrogation room. The pilot’s story was that he took off from Vegas, got lost, and spotted the Base just as he was about to run out of fuel. The Air Force started a full FBI background check on the pilot and held him overnight during the investigation. By the next day, they were finally convinced that the pilot really was lost and wasn’t a spy. They gassed up his airplane, gave him a terrifying “you-did-not-see-a-base” briefing, complete with threats of spending the rest of his life in prison, told him Vegas was that-a-way on such-and-such a heading, and sent him on his way. The day after that though, to the total disbelief of the Air Force, the same Cessna showed up again. Once again, the MP’s surrounded the plane...only this time there were two people in the plane. The same pilot jumped out and said, “Do anything you want to me, but my wife is in the plane and you have to tell her where I was last night!”

He barely slowed down and ran right through the stop sign after glancing for traffic. What the driver didn’t know was that a policeman was watching the intersection. The policeman pulled out after him and stopped the car two blocks away. Policeman: “License, registration and proof of insurance please.” Driver: “Before I give it to you, tell me what the heck you stopped me for, man.” Policeman: “Watch your tone sir; you ran the stop sign back there!!” Driver: “Man, I slowed down, what the heck is the difference!?!” The police officer pulled out his night stick and began smashing it over the man’s head and shoulders. Policeman: “Now, do you want me to just slow down or stop!!!?

Laugh Lines! Rules For “Real” Guys
• Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella. • Any man who brings a camera to a bachelor party may be legally killed and eaten by his buddies. • Unless he murdered someone in your family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 12 hours. • If you’ve known a guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits forever, unless you actually marry her. • Moaning about the brand of free beer in a buddy’s fridge is forbidden. However, you may complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable. • No man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another man. In fact, even remembering your buddy’s birthday is strictly optional. • On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the weakest. • When stumbling upon other guys watching a sporting event, you may ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who’s playing. • Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both, that’s just greedy. • Thou shall not buy a car or motorcycle in the colors of brown, pink, lime green, orange or sky blue. • Friends don’t let friends wear Speedos. Ever.
