Cirrusly Swiss Cheese
This cirrus cloud appeared yesterday, punched full of holes like Swiss cheese, by aircraft traveling along routes to Tampa, Orlando, or Miami. As they passed through the clouds, their wings created a spinning wake, like miniature horizontal tornadoes, that tore holes in the clouds and left a confused pattern behind.

A Lot of #2!
Fairy had been out on errands a little while earlier on Saint Patrick’s Day. When it was time to go to the neighbors for games and a corned beef and cabbage dinner, the odometer caught my eye as I prepared to start the car.

No more kid stuff for me, this is the real 650-shot, lever action range model carbine for grown-ups. It has a longer, reinforcedContinue reading “Adult Entertainment”
Morning Magic
Once again fickle fingers of sunlight poked through the window blinds to selectively tickle decorations on the end table. The wooden manta rays, the napkin, and part of the sea turtle reflected the rays while the goat still hid in the shadow. Not to worry, a short time later even the reclusive old goat gotContinue reading “Morning Magic”
