CLIFF’S NOTES
By the time this issue of the Murat
Magazine reaches you, you may already
have learned about the secret addition to
their staff that our new caterers, John and
Patti Stowers, are working on for us. The
food prepared by the Stowers's staff is a great
improvement over the prior caterer. But a
big change is in the works and I believe
everyone will be quite pleased when it
occurs. Watch the Magazine for more details.

You may live in Indiana:
1. If you know several people who
have hit a deer more than once.
2. If you have switched from “heat”
to “AC” and back again on the
same day.
3. If you carry jumper cables in
your car and your wife knows
how to use them.
A conversation with Noble John
Blaydoe revealed he has been responsible
for 5 children which has resulted in
15 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.
This reminded me of a text in the
Old Testament in which God told his
children to “go forth and be fruitful.”
Well, it looks like John took that admonition
seriously.
Are there others of you who have
been similarly “fruitful” or is this the
record?
Let me know by e-mailing
cliffordlewis@yahoo.com.
You may live inIndiana (Cont’d):
1. If your local Dairy Queen is
closed from September through
May.
2. If someone at the local
hardware or at Home Depot
offers you assistance and they
don’t even work there.

As 2007 gets in full swing, we experience
new leaders, methods and ideas
and for we “20 & 5’s” at times, perhaps a
little too quick to respond.
As an automobile approaches us
from the rear, weaving in and out of traffic,
cutting off and passing, exceeding
safe speeds, our first impression is “some
drunk or teen on grass.” As it passes, we
notice the license plate with “MD” and
the entwined serpent medical symbol.
Immediately attitudes change. Emergency
flashes through our minds … expectant
mother, three-minute pain cycles, industrial
accident.
As an avid Readers Digest subscriber,
a humorous story repeated in part
made me wonder (February ’06 issue):
“After missing flight connections, a group
of travelers patiently hoped to book seats
on the next flight except for one man
who treated the agent very rudely. ‘I had
an aisle seat reserved and I better get an
aisle seat on the next flight,’ he demanded.
A few minutes later everyone was
relieved when informed there would be
room for all. ‘And Sir,’ the agent said to
the obnoxious man, ‘I'm happy to tell
you that you have an aisle seat. I’m also
happy to announce that the rest of you
will be seated in First Class.’ ” (End of the
Digest story)
El’ Ameen Nabeel addition:
Humorous yes, perhaps.
Possible scenario: the man, after
flying to New York to consult a specialist
was informed of his un-operative colon
cancer and had medically packed the
painful bleeding area and uncontrollable
diarrhea for the journey back to
Indianapolis to report the findings to his
waiting wife, children and employer.
Speculation, yes, but who wants an
aisle seat?
Q u e s t i o n :
With positions
reversed how would
you conduct yourself?
Be sure brain is
in gear before
