Seems like Ron could have saved a lot of people a lot of time and money if he had just called them up and had them look at his feet.

Earliest Human Footprints Discovered

Feb. 26) - Early humans had feet like ours and left lasting impressions in the form of 1.5 million-year-old footprints, some of which were made by feet that could wear a size 9 men's shoe.
The findings at a Northern Kenya site represent the oldest evidence of modern-human foot anatomy. They also help tell an ancestral story of humans who had fully transitioned from tree-dwellers to land walkers.

Gee, what a coincidence. I wear size 9 shoes. Darn clean up crew back then must have missed some things.

I see the stock market is almost at the 7,000 mark right now. Fred, how much stock do you own in the Texas Peanut Companies?

I just grow and then sell Virginia Runner Peanuts.
The Mars Co. bought all of my last two years crops. About 1/2 million lbs. each year.

Eat More Snickers !!!

I'm thinking this will not sit well with the intelligent design folks, according to them the earth is only 4000 years old.

Ron has always shown up extra early for stuff. He's very punctual.

Well, heck. Check it out. He is usually the first to post here every morning.

Ron belonged to forums before there was internet.

The other day, I got an email from him that was from 1965.

It was a joke, of course. A very old joke.

Gee, I hope he is still a good sport about this. It was still funny, Ron, if that makes you feel any better.

Wes,

The original one that I sent which was carved into stone is just taking longer than expected to arrive. As for the so called Intelligent Design Folks, they have the same amount of intelligence as a head of retarded cabbage. I have clothes that are older than their 4,000 years.

Fred,
Where is the peanut farm?

Sorry to jack the thread but a long, long time ago my family raised peanuts for the same company.

Our families farm is in Forestburg, Tx. I think that is Montege(sp) county. It is a 20K acre land tract. Of coarse it was not all planted.

The deer are still so tame there they will walk up to you for a handout. They Looooved the peanuts.

I take rides out to Forestburg and then on to St. Jo about once a month.It's nice out that way.

Those deer like chocolate chip cookies a lot too. They'll eat them right out of your hand.Works out real nice...just need a hand axe,no guns.

Just feed them some of the peanut products from that factory there and they will die for you with no problem. I can't believe what I have been reading and then that one person telling about the rats and all that in where they make the food. Oh well, at least you and Steve got everyone off my age.

That was an unintended consequence that will have to be fixed.

Tomorrow is Texas Independence day.173 years ago,on March 2,a Nation was Born.

Ron,what were you doing on that day ?

Ron61 · #13 (**permalink**) 02-28-2009, 10:06 AM

Fred, I saw that in the news. I think on that day I was trying to keep warm. It is really cold here today after two days of Spring weather and I mowed my yards yesterday. It is overcast this morning but feels as if it is going to stay in the low 40s.

...didn't Mary Leakey (pipe-smoking wife of the more famous Louis Leakey) find earlier footprints that were indistinguishable from modern man's?

In any case, I checked my own feet and realized why they hurt so much when I wear shoes.....my big toes are OPPOSED to the rest of the toes! Sure, it makes it easier to grab things, but it's hell on shoe-wear. It also allows me to type these posts while doing something else with my "front" hands....h-m-m-m-m-m.

BTW, I checked my wifey-wifey's foots and they lack the opposable toe.

What can this mean?
