PROGRAM
Gary
talked about his recent trip to Slovenia. Modern day Slovenia was
part of the Holy Roman Empire and Austria until 1918 when the Slovenes
joined the Serbs and Croats in forming a new multinational state,
renamed Yugoslavia in 1929. After World War II, Slovenia became a
republic of the renewed Yugoslavia, which though Communist, distanced
itself from Moscow's rule. Dissatisfied with the exercise of power by
the majority Serbs, the Slovenes succeeded in establishing their
independence in 1991 after a short 10-day war. Historical ties to
Western Europe, a strong economy, and a stable democracy have assisted
in Slovenia's transformation to a modern state.

Joke of the Week
It's so hot in Ohio that...
- the birds have to use potholders
to pull worms out of the ground.
- the potatoes cook underground, and
all you have to do to have lunch is to pull one out and add butter,
salt and pepper.
- farmers are feeding their chickens
crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs.
- the cows are giving evaporated
milk.
- the trees are whistling for the
dogs.
- you eat hot chilies to cool your
mouth off.
- you can make instant sun tea.
- you learn that a seat belt makes a
pretty good branding iron.

you feel a bit chilly.
- you've experienced condensation on
your butt from the hot water in the toilet bowl.
- you would give anything to be able
to splash cold water on your face.

wearing shorts and a tank top.
- you discover that in July, it
takes only 2 fingers to drive your car.
- you discover that you can get a
sunburn through your car window.
- you notice the best parking place
is determined by shade instead of distance.
- hot water now comes out of both
taps.
- it's noon, kids are on summer
vacation, and not one person is out on the streets.
- you actually burn your hand
opening the car door
- no one would dream of putting
vinyl upholstery in a car or not having air conditioning.
- your biggest bicycle wreck fear
is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement
and cook to death?"
- you realize that asphalt has a
liquid state.
- you break a sweat the instant you
step outside at 7:30 a.m. before work.
