Wild Cards! – Aug 31, 2015

Krazy Pic So, let’s see – I guess your estate would pay the fine? See KrPic.15-21.

Cartoon of the Week  More Cowbell?  Nope, more FoxTrot! See FoxT.IceCream for new ice cream cone ideas.  Since some of you will be upset when you find out that one involved that four-letter-word (starts with M), I’ll throw in a bonus:  See FoxT.Drones for a unforseen danger of drones!

Brilliant Ideas I’m thinking this might be a neat new (regular?) feature.  It was partially inspired by Idea #9 on this list, which I could have used this past week!  I can’t seem to separate out individual images like I thought I could (any tech gurus have advice?), so I’ll share the whole list of neat ideas to improve various daily dilemmas:  12CreativeIdeas!

Answers! – BTs & FlexThink  SEVERAL BT solutions submitted this time! That’s fun to see!  And interest in the Flexibility of Thinking exercises as well! For solutions (and correct submitters) to the set of BTs, see BT Solns.  I won’t try to name all who submitted suggestions (to #13 – thanks! – and others) to the Exercises, but for a list of some Hints/Suggestions/’Answers’, see FlexThinkAns.

September Birthdays  Our monthly list of known subscriber birthdays. See Sept BDs.

Recent Column  Last Monday’s column in the News Leader (8/24) was entitled Tale of Two Classsroom ExperiencesImagine having a class with unannounced hour exams!  This experience from my past – along with one other – molded some of my later thoughts on the nature of learning.  If you’re interested, click the link above to read more.
