Wild Cards! – Sep 21, 2020

Krazy Pic 1 Sounds like there might be an interesting story behind this delay?

Krazy Pic 2  Should we all take heed?  Don’t you love it when a corpse has a sense of humor?

Bonus Pic – A Week’s Worth of ‘Cute’ – Mixed with a month’s worth of ‘adorable‘!  I’ve been saving this in my ‘Krazy Pic’ files, but it just doesn’t fit under Krazy!  We can all use a smile and a heartwarming lift, eh?

Ground Hog Day? For Father’s Day, I got a bird feeder.  It now hangs outside my basement office window.  I’ve loved watching the birds at the feeder, but the dropped seeds also create a mini-buffet on the deck below.  Naturally, that attracts other birds.  And squirrels.  And my favorite – an almost daily cute little chipmunk.  But one morning last week, I had a new visitor!!!

A Movie Set in Each State  Interesting piece of trivia.  There’s been at least one Hollywood movie set in each state!  Here’s a list.

Solutions & Solvers – Again!  I’m having troubles with my AfterMath e-mail platform. [Watch for update and possible new address soon.]   Partly (but not entirely, I confess 🙁 ) because of that, I missed some submitted solutions to the last set of BTs.  Because of that I’m listing all the Solution Submitters and Solvers again, with updated information!!

Brain Teasers Already up to NINE BTs (and a fun Bonus)!  And one of them (see #8) eminently Google-searchable.  (Free answer?)  Go ahead – have some fun!  They won’t hurt you! 🙂

October Birthdays  We had a late listing for September last time, and now we have an early listing for October this time!  Here are the October birthdays we know of.  (If you’re not on the list – and should be – don’t hold out on us!)

Cartoons, Numbers, and Mathematics  Within roughly 24 hours, two different cartoons in two different contexts provided enough material for another visit to the land of numbers and mathematics, and learning to hate the latter.    The most recent Springfield News Leader column.

 

Quote for the Week

Man does not quit playing because he grows old.  He grows old because he quits playing.

Similar versions attributed to Oliver Wendell Holmes and George Bernard Shaw

 

Humorous Quote for the Week

When recently asked during a deposition about his claiming of owning the ‘world’s best memory’, the interviewee responded “I don’t remember that”

  Guess Who?
