Easter Monday Flowers
Today is Easter Monday, which is a part of Easter that we heard of for the first time today. That reminds me; we got some photos last week of daffodils and a purple flower we called a crocus—which is actually a hyacinth. So, I got another picture of the daffodils and hyacinths, which are popular…

Svengoolie Movie: “An American Werewolf in London”
Svengoolie Intro: “Calling all stations! Clear the air lanes! Clear all air lanes for the big broadcast!” Let me get this off my chest first. Sena and I watched the Svengoolie show the 1981 movie, “An American Werewolf in London” directed by John Landis last night and neither of us remember hearing Sam Cooke’s version…

“Life is Beautiful”
We heard the song “Life is Beautiful” by Keb’ Mo’ last night on the Big Mo Blues Show. It was released 20 years ago. Big Mo said it helped him get through a difficult time. We think the song is beautiful and so do hundreds of other people on the YouTube video posted 16 years…

Sena’s daffodil and crocus are coming up in the garden, so I took 3 snapshots, each with a different camera: my iPhone 17 pro; a Canon point and shoot; and a Nikon D3400. Pick which one you think is best and comment. Happy Easter!

We Heard a Barred Owl Last Night

The Case of the Loose SD Memory Card Switch
This is not an April Fools joke, just to let you know. I just returned the second of two SD memory cards for our Nikon camera this morning. I returned the first one about a week ago. I got refunds. These cards are expensive and can set you back a hundred bucks or more. They…

WordPress Promoting and Nudging Bloggers to Opt-in to Artificial Intelligence
I got a nudge yesterday reminding me I could choose to opt-in to a free Artificial Intelligence (AI) helper to essentially allow it to assist me in doing certain tasks. There’s a YouTube presentation about it featuring a nice guy named Jamie (see below). While the suggestion sounds like it wouldn’t necessarily automatically allow AI…

Current Kratom and Psilocybin Legislative Action in Iowa
I just saw an excellent post from Dr. George Dawson, MD, DFAPA on Kratom. His emphasis that the risk for harm from this substance should be “…remembered at every policy debate.” I agree. This reminds me of what happened in the Iowa Legislature this term at the second funnel regarding substances with the potential for…

Svengoolie Show Movie: “House on Haunted Hill”
Svengoolie Intro: “Calling all stations! Clear the air lanes! Clear all air lanes for the big broadcast!” Right after Sena and finished the marathon Cribbage Rumble game last night, we watched the Svengoolie show 1959 movie, “House on Haunted Hill,” just like she said during the video. We’ve never seen the movie before, but Sena…
