Wild Cards! – July 24, 2023

Krazy Pic 1  Thanks!  I don’t think I’ll be tempted to disobey!  🙂

Krazy Pic 2 We move from No Mowing to No Running.  No Warning Here, but again – I don’t think  I’ll be tempted anyway! (I’m not even sure I can walk here!)

Cartoon of the Week  From the Archives:  Passwords seem to get increasingly complex, don’t they?  Luckily, it hasn’t reached this stage yet!  (I’ve copied the caption in larger font, in case you have trouble reading.)

Brain Teasers  As you may recall, we are currently re-sharing the entire collection of Summer ’19 BTs.  They will be available for re-submitting solutions through the end of September.  For fun, I have added a new Question (#17), taken – of all places – from a recent Crossword Puzzle.  I think you’ll enjoy.  Good summer fun! Join in!

Amazing Location of the Week  Built by the Ming Dynasty in roughly 1614, the  Xianglu Temple  provides a marvelous view of the Yellow River in the Shaanxi Province of China.  For a variety of pictures and more facts, visit Xianglu Temple 2.  

It Could Be Verse!  Time to recycle another of those crazy ditties I used to do as a semi-regular feature.  (But many of you early subscribers stayed on anyway!!  :-)).  This one is from almost 8 years ago!

August Birthdays  Here is the list of (known) subscribers’ August birthdays. These lucky folks will be the first to participate in the ’23-’24 Birthday Fun – see below!

Birthday Fun ’23-’24 !  Every year about this time, I order new birthday cards for the upcoming year (July – July), and everyone gets the same card that year.  This year, I’m going to gather up all my previous years’ leftovers, mix them up together and send a ‘golden oldie’ from the past.  It should be fun – and I think we’ll even make a GIVEAWAY our of it!!  Read More Here.

Be curious always!  For knowledge will not acquire you; you must acquire it.
