Sky Watch Friday

Rays ‘n Rain Just as the late afternoon began to turn to the gold of evening, I found these rays competing with some distant showers.

International Biscuit Dunking Day

Do It! Make a note in your diary. February 9th is the day. Some people may go to extremes. Blog about your dunking adventures on February 9th. Dunking has always been a habit. Now you can make it a lifestyle statement. Dunk for freedom, dunk for the God of your choice, dunk for Obama, dunk [...]

Shaggy Basketball

Kareem Abdul Jabbar, previously of the Los Angeles Lakers, was one of the best basketball players in the NBA. While he is still with us, an enterprising biotechnology company recently took some of his cells to be grown into another great basketball player. The cells are stored away awaiting the necessary advances in human biotechnology. [...]

Gross Cheffing

Somewhat like God separated the Firmament into the darkness and the light many recipes call for eggs to be separated, the white from the yellow. This has created problems for me as either the yolks break or the white won’t separate. But I think my problems may be solved. Just so long as those who [...]

What does a St Bernard carry round its neck?

St Bernards have never, ever carried brandy barrels. The dog’s mission is entirely teetotal – apart from anything else giving brandy to someone with hypothermia is a disastrous mistake – but tourists have always loved the idea, so they still pose wearing them. Before they were trained as mountain rescue dogs, they were used by [...]

Flying Ant

I remarked on an invasion of flying ants last week. I just found that I had a photo of one. Around two centimetres long and not bitey at all. Just a creepy crawly which can suddenly take off and zoom around the room.

The Book Test

You are a Dreamer You tend to have your head in the clouds. You love to be drawn in to a whole other world. You are a reflective person. You prefer books that make you take stock of your life. You are a person with a few deep interests. If you’re drawn to something, you [...]

The Ultrasound

Tuesday Tune

A few days ago I posted something relating to Pies – or was that Pi? I’ve been spending time over at Daddy P’s and have become a ginger nut addict. Dunking ginger nuts in hot tea. National Extreme Dunking Day is rapidly approaching. All this food and now I have a hankering for some meatloaf [...]

Shaggy Historical Site

Lowell, Massachusetts, is an old New England Mill town. Many of the Mills have been declared National Historical Sites and are included in a Federal Park. The problem was what to do with the other mills, and how to attract more tourists to the area. One bright young marketeer pointed out that Germans like to [...]

Grandma’s Life #28

The Obama Quiz

I scored an ‘orrible 4/10!

Obsession

If I appear obsessed with these critters, it is only because there are so many of them at this time of the year. They are the same size as the Zebra Finches and are attracted to light. At night the desert quiet is destroyed by the sound of these things hitting windows. It is almost [...]

Dimensional Analysis

Randall from xkcd is to blame! It is always fun to run your cursor over a xkcd cartoon. Sometimes I do that with my photos – – -

God and Lightning

Burgled reverently from I Am your God
