Wild Cards! – June 17, 2019

Welcome New Osher Subscribers  During June (once/week), I’m teaching two adult learning classes at Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at University of MO in Columbia, MO.  At this point, roughly a dozen of the members have signed up to receive these mailings.  WELCOME!! (Make them feel at home, OK?)

Krazy Pic 1 I laughed out loud!  Unfortunately, I relate to this in more ways than one!  🙁

Krazy Pic 2  Safety First?  I’m not so sure!

Cartoon of the Week It probably says something about my (possibly warped?) personality that I loved The Far Side comic strip so much!  Here’s one I hadn’t seen for some reason.

Summer (J/J/A) Brain Teasers  We’ve added two new BTs (and a new BONUS or two) to the June/July/August Brain Teasers.  I think you’ll like them!  Check them out!  (And if you haven’t seen the new Creativity Bonuses, do so!)  Submit a solution and join the fun!  

Previous Brain Teaser Solutions/Submitters We’re sharing these updates from Spring BTs for 3 reasons: 1)  Our new Osher friends may like seeing them.  2)  I’m not convinced everyone got to see the fun solutions (especially on #10 and the Creative Bonus!), and 3) I forgot to credit Rita Barger for some of her solutions.  🙁 

The Future of Cursive Writing?  “My grandkids can’t read or write cursive,” began an e-mail from a friend and subscriber.  It got me to thinking (surprise!), and my response became part of the latest column.  Will cursive eventually go by the wayside?
