A travelling salesman came upon a farmer sitting on his porch, next to the farmer was a pig with only one leg. The salesman was about to give a sales pitch when his curiosity got the better of him. / / “Excuse me sir, but why does your pig only have one leg?” asked the salesman. / “Well sonny, I’ll tell ya. One day I was ploughing in my back field when my tractor overturned, pinning me underneath. I was loosing blood and thought I would die when that pig came running. He dug and rooted around with his nose until he got me out and dragged me back to the house. Saved my life that pig did.” / / “Wow, that’s really amazing,” said the salesman, “but I still don’t know why the pig only has one leg.” / / “Well I’ll tell ya,” said the farmer. “One night me and me wife were asleep at about 3am when a fire broke out in the kitchen. Well that pig broke down the door, came into our bedroom, woke us up and got us out before the fire could get us, damn saved our lives that pig did!” / / “Well that’s really great but why does he only have one leg?” / / “Well sonny, when you get a pig that smart you don’t want to eat him all at once!” / .........................................................................................

This sweet little kitty is no longer with us. At the tender age of 4, she developed an unusual lung problem that would have required her to go through too much suffering; so we had her put down. She was the sweetest, most wonderful kitty I’ve ever known and I miss her dearly. R.I.P. Smudge (a.k.a. Mudgie)

There was a sale of this image in November 2008. SEE THE CAROUSEL IMAGE COLLECTION RIDE THE CAROUSEL FOR 25 CENTS! No, that is not a price from yesteryear but the price today for a ride on the Kit Carson County Carousel in Burlington, Colorado which is located just off Interstate 70 on the Colorado/Kansas border. Although there were nearly 4,000 wooden carousels carved in the U.S. between 1885 and 1930, there are fewer than 150 still in existence. The one in Burlington is a magnificent example of the menegerie carousel which includes other animals in addition to horses. There are 46 hand-carved animals mounted on a 45-foot diameter platform. The largest animals are on the outside row, each with intricate carvings ranging from a giraffe with a snake twined around its neck to a armed gnome perched behind the saddle of a zebra! This carousel was manufactured in 1905 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company (PTC). Carousels made by PTC are identified by numbers in the order they were made. Therefore, the one in Burlington is identified as the PTC No. 6 which indicates that it was the sixth (of 74) manufactured. The PTC No. 6 is a 3-row ride and the animals do not move up and down. Currently housed in a 12-sided wooden building, this 100+ year old carousel has been completely restored and still has original paint on both the cotton muslin scenery panels and on the animals. This carousel was originally run by the 1902 General Electric Induction Motor. Amazingly this motor has never been rebuilt and still powers the carousel on special occasions at more than 10-12 miles per hour! The average carousel has a speed of 8 mph. The PTC No. 6 was designated a National Historic Site in 1979, then designed a National Historic Landmark in l987, and is the only one in Colorado that you can ride! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Please don’t copy or download this image.
