Monday Stuff On the Way to Other Stuff: Brrr...

    We've had frosty temps and heavy wind for days -- but no visible frost. The plants keep on growing. So I keep on watering! 

     A huge box of daffodil bulbs arrived -- my birthday present from the Brick. In between working on reports, I plan to go out and shovel some planting areas. Deer supposedly don't like daffodils, so I hope to have clumps of yellow here and there, come spring. 

     For now, though, they need to get in the ground. If I can stay upright, that is.



Meanwhile:

Thousands of gold and silver coins salvaged from the 1715 Treasure Fleet shipwrecks near Florida -- the most since the 1990 season.

How did it feel to pretend to have an orgasm... in front of your mom? Rob Reiner reflects.




Pets who were a good deal smarter than their owners thought.

A treasure trove of Celtic gold and silver -- found while excavating in a secret site in Europe.

And a more attainable treasure -- a 1953 Cubs jacket, valued at $15,000, found in a Goodwill bin sorting site! 

Charlie Kirk's words are twisted, then used against him. Gee, do you think this happened on purpose?!?

Two Colorado hunters killed -- from a lightning strike after sheltering under a tree.

WWI paintings and sketches of Harvey Dunn.  This Western illustrator was one of 8 artists commissioned by the military. Here's a strange connection: his uncle, Nathan Dow, was married to Grace...the youngest sister of Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Funny signs -- including this one:


And finally --

'Weird' family hacks that actually make a lot of sense.


Have a good week.
