Orionids Meteor Shower
October 21-22
Expect a rate of 20 yellow and green meteors per hour, which
are very fast, moving at over 40 miles per second. They are
also known to produce fireballs. Face east for the best view.
Oct. 21, 2011 will the be the day Jesus
'will destroy the world and all that is therein,' so hold
off on paying that electric bill. It might also be a good
day to take a morning walk, and take in some fresh air.

Before going to Europe on business, a man drove his Rolls Royce
to a downtown NY City bank and went in to ask for an immediate
loan of $5,000. The loan officer, taken aback, requested collateral.
"Well, then, here are the keys to my Rolls Royce,"
the man said. The loan officer promptly had the car driven
into the bank's underground parking for safe keeping, and
gave him $5,000.
Two weeks later, the man walked through the bank's doors,
and asked to settle up his loan and get his car back. "That
will be $5,000 in principal, and $15.40 in interest,"
the loan officer said. The man wrote out a check and started
to walk away.
"Wait sir," the loan officer said, "while
you were gone I learned that you are a millionaire. Why in
the world would you need to borrow $5,000?"
The man smiled. "Where else could I park my Rolls Royce
in Manhattan for two weeks and pay only $15.40?"
