On The Light Side

Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.

A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, "I'll serve you, but don't start anything"!

Two peanuts walk into a bar, and one was a salted.

A dyslexic man walks into a bra.

A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm and says, "A beer please, and one for the road"!

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?"

Two cows are standing next to each other in a field. Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning." "I don't believe you," says Dolly. "It's true, no bull" exclaims Daisy.

An invisible man marries an invisible woman. The kids were nothing to look at either.

Deja Moo: The feeling that you've heard this bull before.

I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.

A man woke up in a hospital after a serious accident. He shouted, "Doctor, doctor, I can't feel my legs?" The doctor replied, "I know you can't - I've cut off your arms!"

What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh.

Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and say: "Dam!!"

Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.

A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why?" they asked, as they moved off. "Because", he said, "I can't stand chessnuts boasting in an open foyer."

A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal". The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan". Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."

Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him..(Oh man, this is so bad, it's good)..A Super Calloused Fragile Mystic Hexed By Halitosis.

Barry Pearl

As webmaster for Barry Pearl I designed a tribute page to 'Oliver'. In 1963 Barry Pearl was a workhouse boy and one of Fagin's gang on Broadway.

This was followed years later with Barry Pearl as Fagin

large cast of some of the cutest kids and live animals — a real rat (!) and a charming bull terrier playing Bullseye — is outdone only by a tremendous Fagin, played by Lancaster native Barry Pearl, who nearly pickpockets the show.

This project was truly fun to do and you can enjoy a bit of the performance with a click on Fagin.

Scott Leif Gensler

Scott Gensler passed away on Wednesday, December 31, 2008, in Los Alamos, California. He was born on April 25, 1958 in Santa Barbara, where he lived until buying a home in Los Alamos.

Scott attended San Marcos High School before taking the GED exam to exit high school in 1976.

Scott was employed by the Raytheon Corporation for 22 years. His last job title was Principal Supply Chain Specialist.

Scott enjoyed fishing, shooting in the mountains of West Camino Cielo, off roading, and watching NASCAR.

Scott was an amazing son and brother. He touched many lives with his caring spirit and love for life. He was well known and loved in the community and any outing with him would involve stopping to greet the many people that he knew in Santa Barbara, Los Alamos and Santa Maria.

Scott was my youngest son and a joy to be with. He is missed and thought of everyday. He was sunshine and laughter.

sudden death. Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the unexpected, sudden death of a child under age 1 in which an autopsy does not show an explainable cause of death. Symptoms: There are no symptoms.

My Mother

Iva (Neese) Gensler

Daughter of Ida (Stafford) & Alfred Neese

My mother died when I was 7 years old and I have only vague memories of her. I know she was a telephone operator before she married and she had 3 sons and 1daughter. She died in the hospital of Peritonis. It is a sad fact that all I know about my mother is written in this paragraph. The links lead to recorded information.

Kenny Neese was one of the most respected pilots in Alaska at the time he left in 1941. He had logged 9,302 hours in his logbook, more than any other pilot in the territory. He was very particular about his equipment, and it showed in his safety record. He served as manager of Star Airlines for several years. Star eventually became Alaska Airlines.

During World War II many of Alaska's pilots and mechanics left to join the war effort. Among them were Kenny Neese and Don Goodman.
Neese, whose career traced to the airline's founding as McGee Airways, departed in 1941 to fly bombers and transports. He was killed in 1942 on what was to be his last scheduled mission.

Kenneth Neese was my mother's brother.

Pilots

The bush pilots who flew in the 1930s were a most important element in the development of air services in Alaska, and indeed in the development of Alaska itself. They flew single engine aircraft all over the Territory, with no weather reports, no navigation aides, no radios in aircraft, not even good maps, and there were very few landing fields. The pilots took the risks and their contributions to the inhabitants of Alaska were of enormous importance. The bush pilots who flew for McGee Airways were:

Estol Call
Roy S. Dickson (1901-1958)
James M. "Jim" Dodson (1902-1969)
Ed Fageros
Don Glass (d.1943)
Don H. Goodman (b.1909)

Gordon MacKenzie (1894-1963)
John W. "Johnny" Moore (1907-1988)
Kenneth W. "Kenny" Neese (1903-1944)
Murrell Sasseen (1906-1974)
Dan Victor (1901-1942)
Oscar Winchell (1903-1987)

Silky Terriers

Jennifer

Jonathan

Wonderful companions and inspiration for walking exercise. My husband and I

took weekly walks on the beach with our buddies. They never got too much of

the exercise. As we drove the car to the beach they anxiously poked their wee

noses into the wind hardly able to wait arrival.

They gave us three puppies and many happy hours of enjoyment.

Their names were taken from the TV Hart to Hart characters.

Dreamer

Aviation

Aviation in 1974 was available as a class at our City College, which because I was a dreamer I attended to completion. All that was left to complete my dream was the required number of hours in the air flying solo. House wives & mothers of 6 really don't have that much time and money so those requirements are still waiting in the ether to be finished. Meantime I became a bus driver instead. The hours at class were not wasted as they helped me acquire a high school diploma. It was my effort to convince my children it was worth it to stay in school. I had dropped out of school at 17 to run away from home and get married.

Waking Life Movie

This movie has been watched 5 times to date.

It has joined a place for me that only

'A Beautiful Mind' has occupied. There is so

much presented one wonders

if it will all become clear or if the entertainment

is all that is necessary. Animation

like none I've seen before. Humor, insight

and just plain interesting. Give it a chance,

It can't hurt.

My Last Car

Monte Carlo

This my last car was a gift from my son Scott Leif Gensler.

Because I had driven city buses this power machine did not

daunt me from driving it. Sad to say my driving days soon came

to an end when I decided 'Little old ladies' aught not to be in

temptation's way. So the mighty red beast passed on to my

Grandson Tad Murroughs. Must say Scott must have truly

trusted me as a driver.
