Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael the Archangel found him, resting on the seventh day.
He inquired of God "Where have you been?"
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"

| When Is Your Next Cruise |
By: J Shipper
Why Take a Cruise Vacation? Well, with all the cruise lines available, all the cruise destinations, and the range of prices, there exists a cruise to please even the most jaded traveler.
If you think about it, it's an extremely cost-effective and time-efficient way to take a holiday. Consider all the time you'd spend driving yourself to several different destinations, packing and unpacking at each hotel, and searching for restaurants and other services. On a cruise you don't drive anywhere for seven, ten, fourteen days or even even more. Even if you were on a bus tour with no driving yourself, you haul your luggage or at least one package and unpack it at every new stop. On a cruise, you check your luggage when you check in and it magically appears in your cabin, stateroom, or even suite. You're at home for the duration of the cruise. And the food! Every ship has several restuarants staffed by world-class chefs, and the cost of the food is included as part of the cruise. At each port, guided tours are available so you won't miss any local attractions. Supervised activities such as snorkeling are available to keep the children occupied. And at the end of your holidy staff will pick up your luggage and place it on shore at the intended pick-up point. Taking a cruise vacation frees you from so many of the hassles of traveling, and leaves you with more time to relax and enjoy your destination.

| Cruise Control Tip |
A RESIDENT OF KILGORE, TEXAS SHE WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN
GLADEWATER & KILGORE. IT WAS RAINING, THOUGH NOT EXCESSIVELY, WHEN
HER CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN TO HYDRO-PLANE AND LITERALLY FLEW THROUGH THE
AIR. SHE WAS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED BUT VERY STUNNED AT THE SUDDEN
OCCURRENCE!
WHEN SHE EXPLAINED TO THE HIGHWAY PATROLMAN WHAT HAD HAPPENED HE
TOLD HER SOMETHING THAT EVERY DRIVER SHOULD KNOW - NEVER DRIVE IN THE
RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON. SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS BEING CAUTIOUS
BY SETTING THE CRUISE CONTROL AND MAINTAINING A SAFE CONSISTENT SPEED
IN THE RAIN.
BUT THE HIGHWAY PATROLMAN TOLD HER THAT IF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON
WHEN YOUR CAR BEGINS TO HYDRO-PLANE AND YOUR TIRES LOSE CONTACT WITH
THE PAVEMENT, YOUR CAR WILL ACCELERATE TO A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED
MAKING YOU TAKE OFF LIKE AN AIRPLANE. SHE TOLD THE PATROLMAN THAT WAS
EXACTLY WHAT HAD OCCURRED.
THE PATROLMAN SAID THIS WARNING SHOULD BE LISTED, ON THE DRIVER'S
SEAT SUN-VISOR - NEVER USE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS
WET OR ICY, ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG WARNING. WE TELL OUR TEENAGERS TO
SET THE CRUISE CONTROL AND DRIVE A SAFE SPEED - BUT WE DON'T TELL
THEM TO USE THE CRUISE CONTROL ONLY WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS DRY.
THE ONLY PERSON THE ACCIDENT VICTIM FOUND, WHO KNEW THIS (BESIDES
THE PATROLMAN), WAS A MAN WHO HAD HAD A SIMILAR ACCIDENT, TOTALED HIS
CAR AND SUSTAINED SEVERE INJURIES

| The Best Colorado Ski Towns For Family Trips With Non Skiers By Beatriz Strong |
Are you a non-skier in a skiing family? It is possible to live in Colorado and not ski. And some ski towns offer many winter activities for both skiers and non-skiers.
Your Colorado ski trip might be as short as a weekend getaway, particularly if you live on the Front Range of Colorado or eastern Utah. Perhaps your family takes ski vacations, or month-long escapes. If you don't ski, you need choices that don't involve skiing.
