More Fingerless Whistling Practice for Your Listening Pleasure!
I’ve been practicing fingerless whistling for a little over a week now and I think I’m getting past the always hissing and alkalotic stage. I’m working on getting a more solid whistling tone and I’ve got another YouTube video up. Please remember I’m giving a shout out to Kevin Kanzelmeyer, who gets the credit for…

Walking Man Sculpture and Other Sights at the Iowa City Sculptors Showcase
A couple of days ago, Sena was out and happened to be driving by Terry Trueblood Recreation Area. She saw some guy doing something with a greenish scarf on Walking Man sculpture. She couldn’t tell if he was trying to put it on the sculpture or take it for himself. By the time she got…

Sena’s Wildlife Lore
Sena has been getting videos of animals lately, specifically a squirrel, a red-tailed hawk, and a hummingbird. At first, I wasn’t sure that they were doing (or not doing). Starting with the squirrel, an animal who stores nuts in our yard and then seems to forget just exactly where. Depending on the web sites I…

It Matters Where You Whistle
So, I’ve noticed that it matters where I do fingerless whistling. I think I sound better in the shower. Sena and I tested this out and recorded how I sound in various rooms in our house. You still need to crank the volume to hear me, but I think I’m making progress. Cameras make a…

Reblogging “Stop Me If You Heard This One Before”
I’m reblogging the post “Stop Me If You Heard This One Before” because making the same mistake over and over and over again is so common. That’s why you see this joke so often: I don’t ever make the same mistake twice. I make it 4-5 times just to be sure. It’s sad but true—this…

Fingerless Whistling Update
Well, it’s been a few days and I thought you’d be interested in how much progress I’ve made so far with fingerless whistling. Actually, there’s none, but what the heck? It seems like my mouth gets dry as the desert after only a few minutes of whistling. I keep water handy. I’m unsure of the…

Reblogging “Hanging In There”
I’m reblogging the post “Hanging In There” which I posted on this date (9/12) in 2020. It’s one day past 9/11. I haven’t forgotten that important date in American history. I remember where I was when the news broadcast the attack. In fact, I saw it on the television in one of the lobbies at…

Wild WoodRanger Weed Wacking!
We had a wild day with a battery-powered weed and trimming tool called the WoodRanger Weed and Grass Trimmer. It is reminiscent of our little battery-powered snow blower. It was harder than necessary for me to assemble because I couldn’t find decent instructions on line or packed in the box. That’s not the way to…

Does a Partial Denture Affect Fingerless Whistling?
So, I’ve been looking at YouTubes on learning how to do fingerless whistling because I think it’s cool. I’ve never known how to do it. I can do pucker whistling OK, but now I want to see if I can do the whistling that some people manage to do by putting their fingers in their…
