Wild Cards! – June 13, 2022

MINOR APOLOGIES:  We’re making some minor changes on the logistics of sending out the Mailings/Sharings, and are still experiencing a minor formatting issue here & there.  In particular, the ‘tag lines’ at the bottom of each section are new (annoying and unwanted) hopefully-temporary additions. 🙁 

Special Offer Extended 3 Days!  Usually I view those “offer extended” notes as gimmicks (as you may view this? :-)), but this time I had some Facebook formatting and posting problems that ate up a couple of days, so I’m extending the offerthrough June 18.  For a reminder/update, either visit the offer as it appeared here last Mailing (though updated)  or go to the Facebook page directly.

Krazy Pic 1  Obviously good advice, but hopefully not needed?

Krazy Pic 2  I suspect this could get me in trouble, but one could point out that the husband techncially did what was asked!

Questionable Advice?  Not quite a Krazy Pic, but almost:  I don’t think I’ll be ‘following’ this person’s relationship advice page. 🙂

Cartoon of the Week  I used to love the SHOE cartoon strip, but don’t see it much anymore.  I ran into this one the other day and liked it.  An interesting approach to the “who’s the boss” question.

Amazing Location of the Week  The Takaosan Interchange in Japan doesn’t have a lot of beautiful scenery, but what amazing engineering and construction!!  (and if you look closely, it looks like it’s not even finished!)

Brain Teasers  More new Brain Teasers this week, of course!!  Hope you enjoy!!

Pluto, Science – and the Arts?!  I ran into a brief FB post about “the arts” recently.  Perhaps unexpectedly from a math type, our poor treatment of “the arts” in schools has long been a pet peeve of mine.  One of my columns around the time of the Pluto fly-by (back in 2015!) gave me a chance to vent.

Fun Quote for the Week

My husband asked if he had any annoying habits and then got all offended during the Powerpoint presentation
