“Why do people say clean as a whistle? Whistles are full of spit.” * #euphemismsbykids #hashtaggames * My daughter actually said this one day when she was 3 years old.

The part of Very Hungry Caterpillar had to be played by 4 identical caterpillars because the subjects kept prematurely pupating before the end of the book. #factcheckashoworfilm #hashtaggames

The hills weren’t actually “…alive with the sound of music”, or anything else for that matter. #factcheckashoworfilm #hashtaggames

My wife is going out of town with a couple of girlfriends, (retired teachers), leaving me unsupervised for a week. Any suggestions to keep me out of trouble? https://youtu.be/vpxab0E4_EQ?si=wQqtWPUjYGWnsDTj

I’ve reached a stage in my life where I can’t help but think about my mortality. My wife and I were at our daughter’s house for dinner this evening. In the car on the way home our conversation circled around to how lucky we are to have two successful children with stable families and really good […]

Charlie Kirk is dead.

I saw something today that had me completely gobsmacked. A guy in a Toyota minivan was driving with his foot hanging out of the side window. Not only that, he had his ankle wrapped under the side mirror so there would be no way he could quickly free it if he had to make a quick stop. And to top […]

I sold my 18yo pontoon boat yesterday. There were a lot of family memories with that boat. My five grandchildren have never known of a life on the lake without it. I bought a new one a couple of days ago. It’s in winter storage for now. This spring we can start building new memories.

Fortunately, they were able to find St. Elsewhere so the canonization could be completed. #reasontvcharactersweresainted #hashtaggames https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083483/

Sunset over a calm northern lake. It was fairly windy all day so there doesn’t seem to be much of an effect from smoke from the wildfires up north. I thought the crescent moon looked especially nice. Taken with my Android phone so the quality is what it is.

Here’s a nice pic of one of our local theropods. Taken a couple of weeks ago by a friend from Poland, an avid photographer. It was his second time to visit, first time for his wife and two small boys. A good time was had by all. #birdwatching #photography #dinosaur

While digging through some old junk this morning I found this old ring that belonged to my dad. It’s from his service with the US Army Air Corps during WWII, though I remember that he continued to wear it at least 20 years after VE Day. It was encrusted with […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I had a white knuckle drive through Milwaukee, WI yesterday. Rain was pelting down so hard I actually considered getting off the highway to wait it out at one point. I heard on the news this morning that there was flooding right there where I was driving. I’m so glad I decided to push through it […]
