Photo of the Week – Oct 3, 2022
Autumn in the Ozarks We’re not quite to this stage yet, but we’re starting to get there here in the Ozarks. This was one of my original ‘classic’ shots, taken back in Fall ’99, I think. (Why is it that the best autumn shots are from graveyards? Perhaps I shouldn’t ask.) From the Ozarks Scenes…

Krazy Pic 1 Maybe the Instructions were too hard to follow? On the other hand, who needs instructions? Krazy Pic 2 Need to restrict access? Put up a gate, of course! Cartoon of the Week We love the Pickles cartoon strip. In this strip (apparently from back in March), Earl has really embarrassed himself! Amazing Location of the Week Got to…

Painting A Church Door So many things intrigue me about this scene! It was taken in Edinburgh, Scotland, early September 2001 (about a week before 9/11 🙁 ). I think it was on the Royal Mile through Old Edinburgh. For a slightly different perspective – I can’t tell which I like better – see Edinburgh…

Krazy Pic 1 Apparently God has finally had enough. This could be a bad omen! Krazy Pic 2 Is this funny or a sign of the times? Either way, it’s an interesting legal strategy. Cartoon of the Week I keep falling for Herman’s weird sense of humor. Any of you dog owners experienced this? (I have a vague sense…
