S lie, cough, groan. Ari " the office the last week those three sounds have been predominant. Yes, we all (three of us) have the "con unotn cold", as does half the population of Lucknow. We have increased our shares in that famous tissue company, tried out dif- ferent remedies that •offer to relieve symptoms associated with the so called etmimton -cold and commiserated with each other. 1 should say Phyllis and 1 commiserated with other; Tom simply gave his explicit instructions to keep our own private germs in our individual of- fices as he was having enough problems with his own. II hate the fall! 1 always know 1 am go- ing to come down with a cold. At one time 1 ° a s.,li and spring. 1 always knew 1 _.,g to come down with ar cold in :bots. ,aose seasons. Last spring 1 was fortunate enough to miss the coin - mon bug that was prevalent in the area. Having a cold is a waste of time and goodenergy. The grey matter doesn't function properly;, the eyes weep ruin- ing your makeup; the eyes swell and ap- pear glazed; the nose drips and takes on the appearance of a piece of raw meat; the throat aches from those foreign in- vaders that have found a new home; the sinus ache; the voice takes on a different sound making it necessary to inform the callers that you really are Mrs. Liv- ingston; hot flashes became common (not the kind associated with age); stuffed sinus prevent you from obtaining 'much needed beauty :steep. in all, you look and feel like a bag of garbage. The three of us coming down with the bug at the same time 'could be looked upon as fortunate. We will be done with it, instead of infecting each other over 'a period Of time. On the other hand, if one of us was down and out, the other two, presuming their grey matter is intact, would be able to cover for the ailing member of the vrew. IMBLINGS by Pat LivingStbn Many "time out" periods are necessary during the day - to take medicine, take Bare of the nasal drip and frequent wall to replenish the glass of fluid you must have on hand at all times. Considering we are working in low gear, we indeed feed fortunate to have been able to provide you with this week's paper. Quads Geese 1 spotted three separate groups of Canada Geese heading south last Wednes- day morning. Does anyone know how the leader of the "V" formation is cbosen? Government applies 3Rs According to a recent press release from the Ministry of Government Ser- vices, Ontario is the first provincial government in Canada to launch a rnan- prehensive program to reduce, reust �iud recycle materials in the government workplace. One of the highlights of the $11:8 million first phase includes "two- sided photocopying at all MGS high- volume copiers to reduce the amount of paper used." 1 guess this will reduce the amount of reuseable scrap paper in our office! My thanks goes out to Harvey Wightman who upon discovering a hugh puff ball brought it to the office to be recorded on film. The puff ball was 54" around and weighed 4 lbs. Apparently a little unusual for this year due to dry conditions. Wondering where the picture is? The little goblins got into my idiot proof camera and proved you can never rely on anything! I'll leave you with this little bit of folk wisdom, taken from 100 Ways to Avoid Dying according to the Old Farmers' Almanac: '1f you hear a dog howl at night, reach under the bed and turn over a shoe."??
