They’re not going “cold turkey,” they just are enjoying the setting sunbeams. Though Halloween is the next on the holiday list, they are biding their time for their own “day in the sun” on Thanksgiving. It will be here soon enough. #turkeys #basket #halloween #thanksgiving

Uneasy Rider
I glanced at the rearview mirror while backing out of the garage and discovered this lizard clinging to the back window. Perhaps it was lucky to be aboard for it was a ticket out of the garage where it likely would either starve or dehydrate into a mummified corpse. On the other hand, it wasContinue reading “Uneasy Rider”
Life and Reflection
I used this photo to make a rememberance card some time ago for a recently-departed family friend. Inside it read: “The fine line between life and reflection holds memories that bridge the waters.” Life, it seems, turns into memories faster than can ever be imagined. #cablebridge #life #reflection #rememberance
Wishful Thinking
Could it be that simple? If so, I wonder how much business would be lost from excluding the not-so-nice people. Some days it seems it could be a lot. #benice #leave #sign
Addled Abbreviations
I’m not exactly sure what is meant by a “Pass Air Bag,” but in an emergency, I suppose it would be good to have a bag for it. Perhaps it is good that it is off for the moment. But what has me more concerned is the number “2” below and behind the restrained passengerContinue reading “Addled Abbreviations”
Plenty of Room Elsewhere
There was plenty of room all around, just not right here. These three mushrooms look like a failed stack of pancakes since they all popped up in nearly the same place. I can’t help wondering if they came from the same organism, of if they are three different fungi, all battling for the same territory.Continue reading “Plenty of Room Elsewhere”
Two Cents Worth
Living on an old homestead in central Nebraska yielded treasures of the past from time to time. This 1865 bronze two cent piece was found sometime in the early 1960’s, laying in the dirt near a chicken coop. It was promptly added to my coin collection, which up to that point consisted mostly of pennies.Continue reading “Two Cents Worth”
Rocking on Memories
I can still see him, clad in kahki, in my mind’s eye; tall, slender, with a full head of white hair, surprisingly upright for his age, and walking purposefully with a slight arthritic limp. In his right hand, a fly rod paralleled the ground while his left hand held a tackle box. Beside him, asContinue reading “Rocking on Memories”
Mammoth Molar
I remember as a grade schooler walking by a sandpit along the Platte River. In the water of the sandpit, a floating barge had a massive gravel pump that pumped up a slurry of sand, gravel and a few larger rocks to a tall hopper on land. Above the hopper, a series of screens sortedContinue reading “Mammoth Molar”
Happy Slacker
Several years ago we went on a one day tour of Moloka’i. I had the good fortune to meet Todd Ragsdale who made this koa wood tenor Ukulele which I subsequently purchased. It has a lovely sound with a low G fourth string (octive lower than standard ukulele). Two years ago I purchased a slack-keyContinue reading “Happy Slacker”
