    Appreciate Your Letter Carrier Day is Every Day

    I just found out that last week was National Dog Bite Awareness Week. It was from June 6-10 but we didn’t get a notice about it until a few days ago. This is the first time we were made aware of this. It turns out that letter carriers can stop delivering to a house or…

    The Skinwalker Ranch Connection to Nikola Tesla

    I watched one of the new episodes of The Secret of skinwalker Ranch the other night. The use of special imaging techniques led to finding what looked like little tunnels running underground in one area of the property. That led to trotting out the little excavator and digging up the ground. They found some light-colored…

    Before and After Beard Trim

    I finally trimmed my beard the other day. I can’t just let it go forever, even if I don’t have much. I was starting to look like an old prospector. I looked at a YouTube video of a guy who had a huge beard and he used a hair clipper without a guard and a…

    Sena Looks Out the Window

    Yesterday Sena practiced her usual 2 or 3 minutes of juggling and then took a break to look out the window. She likes to see how the garden is coming along in the backyard. In fact, lots of things go on in our backyard garden and beyond. Critters are entertaining. We’ve seen all kinds of…

    Juggling with New Safety Goggles

    I got new safety goggles the other day. They’re to protect me when I juggle. They’re made by Sattron and Sena got them on Amazon at a good price for 3 pairs. They fit over my eyeglasses. These were my old eyeglasses, which I’ve since replaced with brand new ones. I’m still a little nervous…

  • Jim Gets New Eyeglasses!

    Jim Gets New Eyeglasses!

    I got brand new eyeglasses the other day. I have gone without a new prescription that was valid since my retinal detachment surgery over a year ago. It was a bit strange how that worked out. Last year, I saw the eye doctor who gave me a new prescription, but who also diagnosed the retinal…

    I heard the song “Florida Man” by Selwyn Birchwood on the Big Mo Blues Show on KCCK radio tonight. I updated my post “Gators OMG” by adding the YouTube video to it.
