October is "One Liners" month - WTF

How about one liners inspired by internet headlines? Rarely read newspapers anymore so that's kind of a no brainer.





Headline: Dateline: Bagdad (10/09/07): Violence in Iraq kills 56


One Liner: Yes! Damn good thing are so much better in Iraq!

Headline: Dateline: Bagdad (10/09/07): Guards fire on car in Iraq, kill 2 women


One Liner: Oh, not Blackwater; slow news day!


~ ~ ~Thnak you George Bush!





Headline: Sirnak, Turkey: (10/09/07): US warns Turkey to stay out of Iraq//


One Liner: You had your turn, butt out!

Isn't there any news that's not Iraqified?


Headline: Dateline: Cambridge, US (10/05/07): Hamsters on Viagra take center stage at Ig Nobel awards


One Liner: Slow News Day for sure; where were the Yankees when you needed them?

Harvest Time

Attended the Fall Harvest Festival at the Historic Village in Allaire State Park last month. Many events featured workers in period dress. The week before was a Jazz and Wine Festival. It's a great place to visit almost any time of the year.

Took a few photos of course.

Summer's Over - Sigh...

I have a love-hate relationship with seasons. I would miss any one of them I'm sure. But damn they end too soon. There were so many things I wanted to do this summer that didn't get done. It's not as if I usually get things done but maybe I getting old and staring to worry that the number of "next years" are shrinking. Sigh...

We lost a few fish early this summer to a predator. At least that's the best guess. They were some of our most fecund females so we didn't have the schools of tiny goldfish this year.

Our first suspect, a stranger!

But certain facts have shed doubt on this suspect. She isn't in the clear yet but I have another, as yet, unseen suspect. A raccoon would be a more likely nighttime hunter and more likely frightened by the bamboo shishi-odoshi, "deer-scarer", that we installed. Nighttime disturbance of rocks and moss stopped after it was installed.
