NEW DECADE




















2009 is nothing but dust in the wind and with it goes a decade. A decade that brought us My Space, Face Book text messages and twitter. Ten years ago did you ever think you would not only twitter but quite possibly do it in public? Too weird.

As we look forward into this new decade we are entering, the question is what is instore for us? One wheeled motorcycles? Flying cars? Or maybe the answer to why does the dryer always eat one of my socks?

Will we find a cure for cancer? H1N1? Or maybe a new break through that will slow down the aging process? Lose weight with a pill? With the human condition the possibilities are truely endless.

What would I like to see? World peace? An end to hunger? Everybody treating each other in a kind way? That's all good but will it happen? I really doubt it. But if there was one change that I could make in the world, just one thing to help all of man kind, it would be to bring back. Chicken Littles.

Really, I'm not asking a lot here. I'm not trying to solve one of life's mysteries or stop an armed conflict. I just feel the world would be a better place if everyone despite their race, sex, religious or political beliefs had access to Chicken Littles. Call me crazy but there's something about those two halfs of a roll with a little mayo and a tiny chicken strip. This is the kind of things that dreams are made of.
May we make the world a better place in the next decade and God bless Chicken Littles.

Life Is Funnier Than Fiction


You know there are some things you just can't make up.

When it comes to picking a target, it pays to be careful. They may look like transvestites but they could be cage fighters. And of course hilarity insues.

Can you believe your eyes?


Nuclear accident? World's worst case of heartburn? No just a frog who ate a fly on a Christmas light. Good news, the light was removed and the frog is happily chasing flies.

Reasons I love Country


The Country Music genre is such a cool thing. There is no other type of music that allows you to connect with an artist the way Country Music does. Case in point: Keith Urban.

Eight year old Matthew Pinkham and his mom Becky went to a Keith Urban concert in Louisville, Kentucky. It was like something out of a movie. The Pinkhams were in the second row. Out of the blue a man offered to boost Matthew up on his shoulders so that Urban could see the little boy's sign. You see Matthew had a sign that read "I want to play 'Kiss a Girl' with you." Keith not only saw the sign, he also motioned for Matthew to come up on stage where the eight year old proceeded to play guitar with his hero. What an amazing moment in this young mans life.

A little back ground on Matthew. He had to go through Nashville's Vanderbilt Children's Hospital for a bone disease. While he was there he had a chance to meet Dierks Bentley and get Dierk’s autograph on his guitar. His guitar now sports Keith Urban’s signature as well. Speaking of Keith, on his website he referred to Matthew as "the bomb." I’m pretty sure Matthew feels the same way.

There you have it, a warm fuzzy to go. You’ve got to love Country.


Here is a link to the video. It's shaky. I'm guessing it was Matthew's mom who shot the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGX6kfSyrtg

THE COW THAT NEEDED A TOW

Every once in a while a story comes to us that just makes you go "what?"
This is one of those stories, and it's local.

"If you've ever called tow truck for your cow, you may be a red neck." Or you are Deanna Dotson.

Deanna's cow (name unknown) fell thru some plywood that was covering a well. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know getting a cow into a well is a lot easier than getting it out.

Long story short, our friend Chris Boyce from Big O Tires made a call to Clint Smith at Roseburg Towing. Yes they needed Clint to tow the bovine from the well.

I am happy to report that the cow is doing fine.

Moral of the story. The next time you need a tow for your cow, call the cow towing experts at Roseburg Towing. After all, they have experience.

How bad have you been?

A friend of mine forwarded an e-mail to me today. Inundated with forwards, I'm not always thrilled to get them but Melanie usually has good judgment when she sends me fun stuff. This one was off the hook.

Everybody has a thing or two in their past that they may not be completely proud of. I think all of us share this. Sometimes you would do things differently if you had the chance to them over and sometimes you would just get a better run at the same thing and give it hell.

I would encourage trying this test around your office. It’s very eye opening. Almost the whole office at BCI took the test and results are still filtering in from those who care to incriminate themselves. The results are hilarious.


Just read the 'offense' and if you've done it, you owe that fine. Keep going until you've read each 'offense' and added up your total fine. Title your bulletin 'My Bail is $........' You don't
have to confess your answers, just the amount of your fine.


1) Smoked pot = -- $10
2) Ever got drunk at work, or went to work while still drunk --$50
3) Cheated on your significant other -- $10
4) Been in love with two people or more at the same time -- $50
5) Said you love someone but didn't mean it -- $25
6) Went streaking -- $5
7) Went streaking in broad daylight -- $15
8) Kissed a co-worker-- $ 20

50) Stole something worth over more than a hundred dollars --$20
51) Had sex with someone 10 years older -- $20
52) Kissed a teacher while you were still a student--$25
53) Lied to your mate -- $5
54) Lied to your mate about the sex being good -- $25

In case you are wondering about score to compare yours with, here's a few to try on. Melanie's score was $340.00. She must have led a very sheltered life.

Ashley came in at $575.50. If you read the test you know the only .50 value was peeing in the pool. They didn't ask when so unless you are lying I would think everyone in their lifetime would have to add .50.

I'm am not proud of my bail but I tied with one other person in our office at $995.50. I have nothing to say but I plead the fifth. And a fifth may have accounted for a good portion of the bail.
A friend e-mailed to tell me the max total was $1160.50. I didn't bother to do the math. All I know is I really hope my Mom doesn't read this blog. And if you are..."Hi Mom."

If you are interested you can follow my tweets on twitter. I still have a problem saying that in public. I'll bet that adds another $100 to my bail. www.twitter.com/RandyWesson

Does the Easter Bunny cause smoking?


Well another Easter has come and gone and with it The Cascade Community Credit Union Easter egg Hunt. If you missed the event this past Saturday you missed a wonderful family event. Watching the kids with their big eyes as they gaze on 10,000 eggs is truely heart warming. If you would like to see pictures from the day just go to Pics and Promotions.

A giant thank you is in order. Our incredible sponsors make it possible for this event to happen every year. Cascade Community Credit Union, Bi-Mart, Pepsi and Umpqua Dairy. Also a big thanks to our Promotions Director, Laura Studebaker along with Sgt. Todd Pade and his Air force recruits for stuffing over 10,000 Easter eggs. In a perfect world the Easter Bunny would stuff the eggs himself but due to contractual binds, our staff had to take care of the job. I hate it when lawyers get involved.

Overall the day was a big success. There were tons of happy kids and parents with great pictures. But one issue surfaced that left a black mark on the event. During our clean up patrol (yes the BCI team cleans the park up after the event to keep it looking good) we found disturbing evidence of nicotine use in the four and five year olds. Yes, in the four and five year old section we found and cleaned up a big pile of cigarette butts. Knowing that an adult would know better than behave in such a disrespectful matter, we can only surmise that the four and five year olds were smoking like chimneys. What’s next? Will they be cursing like sailors? Partying like rock stars? Where does it end and how do we deal with the problem of four year olds smoking? Do they make itty bitty patches?

There is one other question to ponder. What was the gateway drug that led to this smoking pandemic in the four and five year olds? Milk? Apple juice? Those cute little juice boxes? And do you think the Easter Bunny is in on it? Could he be the supplier?

Questions, I have many questions.
