THE TRULY REMARKABLE
EXCLUSIVE CUSTOMS & DETAILING
Al Jones
It’s one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen. I wasn’t
present during the event, but through the technology of social media
and the Internet, I could witness something that made me glad to be
a member of the human race. I came across a You Tube video that,
in my opinion, should have gone viral. It wasn’t as catchy as the
latest top ten music videos. It wasn’t a video of karma paying back
someone who was deservedly put in their place. It wasn’t cute… it
wasn’t funny. It was so much more. It was awe inspiring.

Over the past several weeks, the evening news has shown
highlights of political unrest in Egypt, Iran and Libya. Growing
unrest is building in some of the neighbouring countries as well.
We see images of people marching in the hundreds of thousands,
demanding freedom from oppression and totalitarian governments.
The heads of these governments have done all they can to turn the
public opinion of their citizens. We’ve seen highlights of violence.
We’ve seen highlights of paid government supporters protesting
against the protesters. We’ve seen carnage. But none of the news
agencies covered this video footage.
The unrest was originally brought to a boil in Egypt. Their president
was unwilling to give up power, and instead, tried to deflect anger
at western culture and the US. This ploy had worked many times
in the past, but not this time. Through the Internet, the world is a
much smaller world and information now travels worldwide at the
speed of a click of a button. Governments can no longer control their
citizens by controlling their own media. So this time... the people of
Egypt were not buying what their president was selling.

The next move of Egypt’s desperate attempt to retain power was
to try and create a division between religions. Only nine percent of
Egypt’s citizens are Christian, so it made for an easy group to use
as scapegoats. But the president didn’t count on people of differing
religions banding together for the greater good. What happened next
should have been the headlines on the evening news. What happened
next, should have bumped all the video footage of hatred and violence
we were fed. It wasn’t sensational. There were no explosions. There
were no martyrs. The news agencies missed out on showing their
viewers the most remarkable video footage they could have ever
gotten their hands on.
The video footage taken on February 6th, 2011, has about 61,000
views worldwide as I write this. A Justin Bieber video hits millions
of views within a week. A video of some act of Darwinism would
have been in the hundreds of thousands. Yet despite this remarkable
event being caught on tape, it has received little to no recognition.

Have I peaked your interest yet? Want to see the video I’m speaking
of? Then go to the Google search engine on your computer and type
in “Christians protecting Muslims”. You will come across various
reports and video footage of Christians locking arms to form a
human shield around the square in Cairo, as their Muslim brothers
and sisters pray.
According to independent reports, Muslims also do the same to
protect the Christians from government thugs as they pray. When
you read reports and view the video footage, I am confident that your
faith in human kind will be lifted higher as was mine.
The unrest was never about religious differences. It was never about
cultural differences. It is about respect and dignity for all and the
freedoms that tolerances allow everyone, no matter race, religion or
cultures.

I hope the governments in the Middle East give in to their citizens’
wishes. And I hope news agencies around the world will start to look
beyond the sensationalized and dig deeper to show us.... the truly
remarkable.

Late one night I stopped at one of those 24-hour
gas station mini-marts to get myself a fresh-brewed
cup of coffee. When I picked up the pot, I could
not help noticing that the brew was as black as
asphalt and just about as thick.
“How old is this coffee?” I asked the woman who
was standing behind the store counter.
She shrugged. “I don’t know. I’ve only been working
here two weeks.”

The flight attendant watched a passenger try to
stuff his hopelessly overloaded bags into the
overhead bin. Finally she informed him that he
would have to check the over-sized luggage.
“When I fly other airlines,” he said irritably,
“I never have this problem!”
She smiled and said, “Sir, when you fly other
airlines, I don’t have this problem either.”

Retirement is like a long vacation in Vegas.
The goal is to enjoy it to the fullest, but not so fully
that you run out of money.
- Jonathan Clements
Slot Machines
I was on vacation, playing the slot machines. It was
my first time in a casino and I wasn’t sure how the
machines operated.
“Excuse me.” I said to a casino employee. “How does
this work?”
The worker showed me how to insert a bill, hit the
spin button, and operate the release handle.
“And where does the money come out?” I asked.

Opportunity may knock once,
but temptation bangs
on the front door forever.
A woman was at home with her children when the
telephone rang. In going to answer it, she tripped on
a rug, grabbed for something to hold on to and seized
the telephone table. It fell over with a crash, jarring
the receiver off the hook. As it fell, it hit the family
dog, who leaped up, howling and barking. The woman’s
three-year-old son, startled by this noise, broke into
loud screams. The woman mumbled some colorful
words. She finally managed to pick up the receiver and
lift it to her ear, just in time to hear her husband’s
voice on the other end say, “Nobody’s said hello yet,
but I’m positive I have the right number.”

except for the finish in certain areas. I believe when the
cabinets were made they were finished in varnish which hasn’t
held up to any water or food spillage. I’d like to tackle this as
a home project. I’ve re-finished furniture in the past but won’t
want to re-do all the cabinetry in the whole kitchen, just the
areas that are not holding up. Can you lead me in the right
direction?
~ Mahinder
A:
I would suggest a polyurethane finish which is available
to match the present sheen such as gloss, satin or could also be
further dulled. These types can be applied by brush or wipe on.
Be sure to follow directions carefully, I suggest you try a small
area first.

Small Town Emergency
The small town’s sheriff
was also its veterinarian.
One night the phone rang
and his wife answered.
An agitated voice inquired,
“Is your husband there?”
“Do you require his
services as a sheriff
or as a vet?”
“Both. We can’t get our
dog’s mouth open, and
there’s a burglar in it.”
That Makes Me
Feel Better.....
A father finds his four
year old daughter outside
brushing their dog’s teeth
using his toothbrush. Dad
asks, “What are you doing
with my toothbrush?”
The daughter replies, “I’m
brushing his teeth. But
don’t worry dad, I’ll rinse
it out when I’m done just
like I always do.”
