Wild Cards! Sep 18, 2023

Krazy Pic 1  September means “Back to School”.  And, it appears, a sad dose of irony.  

Krazy Pic 2  Have you ever driven a different car and wondered which side the gas tank was on?  Here’s one solution to consider.

Cartoon of the Week  Autumn is just around the corner (Sat, 9/23)!  And the “Fall Classic” (World Series) is not far behind.  As usual, FOXTROT has a unique take on both.

Amazing Location of the Week: Iceland  What a sneaky way to get in more pics from the big trip!  But all these locations are amazing, so . . .  Here we see a small glimpse of the famous black beaches of Southern Iceland along with the “Three Trolls” formation in the distance.  (Legend has it that the rocks are three trolls, caught out too late and frozen by the early morning sunlight.)

Amazing Location of the Week: Scotland  The beautiful village of Kinlock Rannoch in the central Scottish highlands, seems to be frozen in time.  Crossing the (one-lane!) bridge in this picture leads directly into the Village Center.  (A block or two to the left from the bridge was our delightful cottage home for over a week, and a similar distance beyond that leads to the western end of Loch Rannoch.)

Amazing Location of the Week: Norway  How marvelously Norwegian can you get?!  1) Part of a typical Norwegian village . . . 2) underneath one of the ever-present waterfalls . . . 3) at the edge of a beautiful fjord!

Brain Teasers  We spent the summer looking at a repeat of BTs from four summers ago (’19).  With Fall approaching, both will be ending.  Changes coming in October, but you have almost two weeks to join the fun and get your solutions in (don’t forget the newer ones added this year!)

October Birthdays  Already?!  Here is the list of (known) subscribers’ birthdays in October.

General Birthday Reminder for ’23/24  Here is your occasional reminder to check your birthday cards for the next year to join the fun and perhaps win a prize.  First drawing is October 1, and we are guaranteed a first winner!! (Watch for results in the Oct 2 Mailing!)
