Wild Cards! – June 20, 2016

Krazy Pic  OK, I guess technically this is correct, but still . . . !   See KP.6.20.16

Krazy Pic 2  I sense you’re missing your Krazy Pics, so here’s a bonus today, with some very good advice!! See KP2.Jun20

365 Stupidest Things Ever Said It’s been 6 months since we posted some of these!!  Overdue!!  See some new ones and catch up on previously posted, as well.  See Stupidest.

Guest Photo  Today’s guest photo features a return of Rhonda McKee.  Her picture is from the Petra in Jordan, an amazing (and oft-used in movies) architecture/carving work!!  See GP.PetraJordan.

Celebration & BTs  Have you been celebrating the past week (actually since the 10th)?  We’ve had a string of rare palindromic days!!  For more information, see BT#10.  This marks the last of the May/June BTs (answers in next mailing).  See May.June.BTs.

Today in History  We recently lost Muhammad Ali.  It was 49 years ago today (6/20) that he refused induction into the army, one of the biggest controversies of his life.  For other historical events from today, see June20.  (This link is date-sensitive.  Clicking it will provide the actual day’s events, though you can backtrack.)

Home Schools and Education  It’s a topic I was/am reluctant to take on, as I have many mixed feelings and a dearth of good insights.  On the other hand, I needed a launching pad for the next column/blog, so I waded in.  To see my thoughts (which appeared in 6/13 Springfield paper), see HomeSchools.
