At least a bunch arrived properly this week, all of them from good ol' Warren Bonner. But first out is day 14 of the "2002 Off Centre Rally - The Big U" travel report, in the general articles section. The four contributions from Warren starts with one for his own column, called "Cherokee Teaching". A little story about native American wisdom. Then two for the jokes section. The first is "State Fair" about a man and his wife that seem to have some disagreement over how well the husband performs his matrimonial duties. The second is about another (or maybe the same) man, who has to prepare for the burial of his "Mother-in-Law". Finally one for the classified ads, "My Web Page". ----------------------------------------------------------------- FIDONEWS 20-01 Page 3 6 Jan 2003 ================================================================= GENERAL ARTICLES ================================================================= 2002 Off Centre Rally - The Big U Submitted by David Drummond, 3:640/305 Day 14 - Saturday 16th August (Mackay to The Causeway) Had a leisurely breakfast with Tony and Michelle, then took our leave and headed for Sarina. At Sarina, we took the Clermont Road. This took us over a mountain range with some great twisties. I'd forgotten how to go around corners! It didn't take me long to get back into the hang of it, and get a bit of wear on the edge of my tyres for a change. The road followed the railway line for quite some time, until we turned off to follow the old Highway No 1 down to Marlborough. Parts of it were straight, bumpy and fairly desolate, by coastal standards, but with the traffic almost non-existent, it was quite a pleasant ride. Just as we were coming towards Marlborough, it started to rain - just a light shower. We stopped for fuel and lunch, and another motorcyclist and pillion travelling north said they had been riding through a bit of rain. Fortunately, the rain stopped while we were stopped, and as we continued south, remained dry. Just before Rockhampton, we turned off to Yeppoon and Emu Park. My maternal grandmother's family came from that area, and I had a yen to stay there. Unfortunately, the caravan park at Emu Park looked full, and not particularly inviting, so we backtracked to an area called The Causeway and stayed in a Tourist Park there, with a resident emu wandering around. Went for a walk along the beach, collected some shells including a couple of cowries, my favourite, then after a shower, walked over the bridge to the place that reputedly did the best fish and chips ... And they were as good (if not better) than we were led to believe. We even lashed out and had an icecream each for dessert. Lovely. ----------------------------------------------------------------- FIDONEWS 20-01 Page 4 6 Jan 2003 ================================================================= OL'WDB'S COLUMN - WARREN BONNER ================================================================= Cherokee Teaching wdbonner@pacbell.net An old Cherokee Chief is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside me"; he said to the boy." It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person too", the grandfather told him. The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee Chief simply replied, "The one you feed." Moral: Think before you reply to some echo messages. Happy, fun, prosperous and healthy New Year to all!

They come up to the first pen and there is a sign that says "This Bull mated 50 times last year." The wife pokes her husband in the ribs and says, "He mated 50 times last year." They walked a little further and see another pen with a sign that says, "This Bull mated 120 times last year." The wife hits her husband and says "That's more than twice a week! You could learn a lot from him." They walk further and a third pen has a Bull with a sign saying "This Bull mated 365 times last year." The wife gets really excited and says "That's once a day. You could REALLY learn something from this one." The husband looks at her and says .... "Go up and ask him if it was with the same cow." After nine surgeries and two years of therapy, the husband is now able to talk. It is hoped that someday he will walk again... ----------------------------------------------------------------- FIDONEWS 20-01 Page 6 6 Jan 2003 Mother-in-Law By Warren Bonner wdbonner@pacbell.net George went on a vacation to the Middle East with most of his family including his mother-in-law. During their vacation and while they were visiting Jerusalem George's mother-in-law died. With the death certificate in hand, George went to the American Consulate Office to make arrangements to send the body back to the States for proper burial. The Consul, after hearing of the death of the mother-in-law told George that the sending of a body back to the States for burial is very, very expensive. It could cost as much as $5,000.00. The Consul continues, in most cases the person responsible for the remains normally decides to bury the body here. This would only cost $150.00. George thinks for some time and answers, "I don't care how much it will cost to send the body back; that's what I want to do." The Consul, after hearing this, says "You must have loved your mother-in-law very much considering the difference in price." "No, it's not that," says George. "You see, I know of a case many years ago of a Person that was buried here in Jerusalem. On the third day He arose from the dead.... I just can't take that chance." ----------------------------------------------------------------- FIDONEWS 20-01 Page 7 6 Jan 2003 ================================================================= FIDONET CLASSIFIED ADS ================================================================= My Web Page By Warren Bonner wdbonner@pacbell.net http://eastwindbook.osirusoft.com welcomes you to take a peek.

If you could type it on your keyboard, it's probably quite OK... b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index, the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you may want to add some other address where you can be reached for personal comments. c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 12:00 UTC. Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file extension of the correct subject on the file name if known..

Put a .TXT on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews. If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I can not fix and I need your help on it.
