Wild Cards! – July 12, 2021
Krazy Pic 1 If I had to guess, I’d call this an unfortunate juxtaposition of signs? Krazy Pic 2 Perhaps it’s a different meaning, but this teaser/headline could contradict the story. Cartoon of the Week Long-time friend and subscriber Jerry Johnson sent this to me, thinking I might be able to use it in some of my presentations on…

Wild Cards! – June 28, 2021
HAPPY JUNE 28th! This may be the first time a Mailing has gone out ON June 28 – my favorite numerical day of the year!! Many of you know why, but if you’re not sure check out this 2016 post about Special Days and look for the green font (Item #6, appropriately!) Krazy Pic 1 OK, this has…

Photo of the Week – June 14, 2021
Grand Canyon – North Rim The Canyon’s North Rim is wilder, less visited, and almost as beautiful as its more popular cousin to the South. It has a little less ‘variety’, but it’s every bit as awesome! Taken in Fall of 2005. From the Maine to Alaska Collection

Krazy Pic 1 My mind keeps going “Does not compute . . .”. Really – waffles?! So many one-liners, I suspect, but honestly, I’m just speechless. Krazy Pic 2 This would be MUCH funnier, if it didn’t look like something I might do. Cartoon of the Week Don’t know if this one is before Gary Larson’s exit or…

Krazy Pic 1 I could be wrong, of course, but I’m wondering if this might be a substitute teacher! Krazy Pic 2 We all know there is a Batman, so could there be a Catman? Cartoon of the Week Not a huge Dilbert fan, but this one is great. IF you know Zeno’s paradox, you’ll appreciate the joke. IF you…

British Countryside Landscaping Taken in May, 2009 in Snowdonia, Wales – in the British Isles. It’s appeared here before, but sometimes it’s fun to give a photo an encore. 🙂 (This may actually be its second ‘curtain call’) From the Across the Pond Collection. (Not far from this spot in Wales, we visited the town with the world’s…

Wild Cards! – May 17, 2021
Krazy Pic 1 Guess that makes sense. Be careful if you try to grab one! Krazy Pic 2 Who knew?!? What a coincidence it comes out exactly right! Cartoon of the Week Foxtrot almost always makes me smile. The Sunday column last week (Mother’s Day) cracked me up! It’s just plain funny anyway, and then when you look closer, it’s…
