If there is a rule of three I suspect it was somehow put into place by some wizard, maybe even Merlin himself. You know, he wanted King Arthur to see his powers so somehow he created three things to happen in a fairly quick manner. Things he could control. A tree fell in on a corner of the castle. A court jester broke an ankle whilst jesting before the king. And his topper? … [Read more...]
Is This You? A World’s Fair Has No Comparison to Intimate County Fairs
The answer is yes. There are still world’s fairs. The next one, oh wait. By the way they are no longer called world’s fairs. They are World Expos. The next World Expo will take place in Osaka, Kansai, Japan between April 13th and October 13, 2025. Not sure about you, but. Yes a world wide “but.” I will not be attending the World Expo in Japan. I can’t imagine all the things … [Read more...]
The Perfect Ride
Can anyone explain to me, why are there unicycles? I was just cyber shopping and for some reason my shop-o-box put me into unicycles. Then of course I had to look at them. Seeing that I, well not me but maybe you, can get a unicycle for under one hundred bucks still does not make me want to drop one in my shopping cart. But! Yes a single wheeled “but.” There seems to be a … [Read more...]
Cutting Bangs Is An Art
Often when things come up I am still amazed that the boy girl chasm isn’t all that far apart. Like hair. Hair on our heads only! But! Yes a hairy “but.” Off the head hair could cause sensitive conversations. So I best stick to head hair. Wild and wiry. Long and wispy or short and spiky. Actually the hair on heads is something that has many discussion points. Some of us … [Read more...]
Our Noses Have Preferences
It’s July. Outside I have some strategically placed Russian Olives trees that bloom this time of the year. Every year. I can tell through spring and into summer by wonderful smells that float in my yard how far we are into summer. But the Russian Olive trees are by far my favorite. When the mornings are calm with just the lightest poof of a breeze the honey thick air moves … [Read more...]
Depending On Independence
The freedom of independence is quite a responsibility. The freedom part is what we have always seemed to strive for as we go through life. Being older has always meant more freedom. I’m sure we have all looked back at the road of the ages. When you are 4 you want to be 5. Holding up all your sticky little fingers on one hand. Five wants to be ten, ten wants to be 13, 13 desires … [Read more...]
Another First, First
As time marches on and on there seems to be less new, first things that happen around me. Some firsts I can do without. Like first bruise of the summer season because I didn’t duck down enough going under a tree as I drove the lawn mower around the yard. I have to admit it is such a beaut though. That really isn’t a true first, never done it before thing. Those firsts are … [Read more...]
The Life and Times of Worms
Occasionally we learn things that we take with us on our happy journey of life. For instance we have learned to sniff the milk in the jug before pouring and getting a glass full of really thick and lumpy milk. That’s a very important thing to learn and practice. Or how about this. We learn that there are those people who wholeheartedly believe the change in the atmospheric … [Read more...]
