Emorymas at Last: E.E. Turns 103
It was 103 years ago today, July 22, 1902, that E.E. Hinkle was born in Thurston County, Nebraska. From what he knows, it was hot back then as well. We expected that the mercury may to three digits today, but it was stopped at 95 degrees. Tomorrow is forecast a high of 113. Lets hope it's not that high.
Joyce Ferris arrived yesterday, after getting her hair cut, and colored. A couple of George and Mavis Kennedy's friends from Aberdeen who winter in Green Valley came down Thursday to visit for the afternoon as well. Kelvin and Donna Kennedy left after dinner today.
Eating has become a full contact sport, with all the chicken, and the colon pleaser gone already. Dinner was mostly leftovers from yesterday. The chocolate cake is going fast, and angel food going faster. There's also a pretty good supply of Ice Cream. Spaghetti was on hand for evening vittles, with 12 lbs of hamburger for grilling if we had need of it. Needless to say, The Hinkles will be eating on the leftovers for some time.
Food isn't the only recreation, there is also a Power Point video that has been enjoyed today as well. E.E. Enjoyed it so much, he watched it twice. A few phone calls have been patched through to the Ponderosa Pines Old Age Assistance Home for the old boy. Some he even took.

E.E. Also got a look at Ms. Amanda, but can't confirm that she's the red headed gal that he dreamed was going to steal Jerry away or not. George Kennedy says she is the ugliest woman he's ever seen. Of course, he lives with Mavis, so he's used to perfection.

The Professor at Dakota war College may be interested to know that E.E. is a former Hyde County Commissioner, and just may be the oldest Democrat in the State of South Dakota.

Holabird Advocate Special Photographer, Mary Hinkle said she will have the photos ready by sometime tomorrow. Don't hold your breath on that.

SD Blog Watch has been trying to get anyone who will to click on the Adsense ads and put money into the Watcher's pocket. He has claimed that as soon as he gets his first check from Google, he will buy a round of drinks at the Crow Bar. None of us here at the Holabird Advocate know what or where that is. However, if The Watcher can get his minions to click The Google ads on the Holabird Advocate's Front Page $100 worth, our Publisher will not only buy a round of drinks at Bob's Thunderbird in Highmore, but he will also buy the Watcher, and one guest, a prime rib dinner or suitable substitution thereof whereas hitherto forthwith.

The reason Holabird Advocate Publisher, Jerry Hinkle doesn't do this himself is because he agreed not to click his own ads or ask his friends to do it. Apparently, The Watcher made no such agreement with Google, so it's up to him. Jerry could try to circumvent the agreement, but he's too young and pretty to go to jail. Holabird Advocate legal analyst, Morley Krupt, believes this is perfectly legal, even though it may not work. Todd Epp may disagree with this opinion, but Jerry can't afford him anyhow.

My country, my family, and indeed I, Myself are truly blessed to live under the blessings of God. Only in this country could we celebrate birthdays with as much fun and silliness as we have this week. Only in America can we be so blessed that we can beg for money on the internet. Not every country is so blessed. Some people in other nations have been deprived of God's blessing, through their actions, or that of their government.

Those are places we send missionaries. People like my cousin Kassidee, who go into someplace where the Christian population is as rare as a Democrat in South Dakota. Prostitution is not only legal in the Czech Republic, where she is going, but the government actually taxes the activity. She will need our prayers for the next year.

I understand that the Geitzenauer family went to Mexico on a mission project. They are back now, and I hope they are able to share stories with me of what they did. I'm quite sure that whatever work they performed was blessed by the Father in Heaven.

It's nice to know that there are folks in America that are not only willing, but able to share in the blessings that God has given them. It's a high calling, and they all deserve our respect and praise. They are a wonderful example of the possibilities that exist in this world.
