Wild Cards! – July 11, 2016

WELCOME New Subscribers  We’re already getting folks signing up for the blog reports on the Missouri River Project.  Welcome Fellow Travelers!!  This is the last ‘regular’ mailing for awhile, so I hope you’ll be patient.  Blog reports/previews start next week (July 18).  If you missed last week’s mailing about the trip, see RollinOnRiver.

Trip/Mailing Reminders  As mentioned above, the nature of the Weekly Mailings temporarily changes starting next Monday (7/18).  For updates/reminders on these changes, see SummerMailingChanges.

Krazy Pic(s)  Two for the price of one this week.  One falls in the category of ‘not sure that’ll work’ (look closely), and the other doesn’t even have a category – just a head-scratcher!!  See KrPicJul11.

Joke(s) of the Week   I’ve heard a couple of good ones recently, so here’s another 2-for-1 deal.  Moses’ publicist and a clever old dog!  Check them out here: JokesWk. 

Guest Photo Our Guest Photo features a return of Anita Dixon.  On a trip  to the alpine region of Switzerland and Austria in Spring 2015, she took this photo of the Chapel Bridge in Lucerne, Switzerland.  See GP.ASGD2.

Brain Teasers Answers/Submitters  Almost 6 weeks of BTs have accumulated, and almost a record number of responders!  To see answers and submitters (and interesting comments), see JuneBTSolns.

Homeschooling Thoughts   Wow.  Lots (!!) of interesting activity and responses since the first homeschooling column/blog posted last time. (To reread, see Homeschool1).  To see a summary of these happenings, as well as a final wrap up, see Homeschool3.  For a fascinating related story, see Homeschool2.  Finally, to read Terry Goodman’s articulate and enlightening responses, see TerryGoodmanInsights.  (After nearly 4 decades in public and higher education, Terry and his wife Teresa are now homeschooling their grandson, yielding a unique perspective.)
