Oh, that's right... worrying about -- or staying with -- The Mama. She's doing better, though moving very slowly. Some problems remain, but hopefully those will continue to ease up. A few cousins, plus hopefully the rest of the family, will check on her -- and I plan to call or text every single day, if possible.
Back in Colorado now. And it's wonderful to have been missed -- the Brick has made that very clear. Even Charles and Ruby seem relieved that the Snack Giver has returned.
A lot of jobs need catching up on. Several were done today -- more to go. Thank God for the cooler weather and slowly-turning trees; this is one of the nicest seasons, and I plan to enjoy every possible minute..
Meanwhile:
Throwing away American flags -- that's the way to commemorate 9/11?? (Guess he was talking to the professor...see last item.)
How President Biden appeared at 9/11 events. (More gracious photos, including many more meaningful ones, here.)
One -- count 'em, one -- 9/11-related document released...after President Biden promised to do so, hopefully so survivor groups would let him attend memorials. (They were saying that otherwise his presence wasn't welcome.)
Free antique photos -- Magic Moonlight's blog is a little old, but the photos are free for use!
A Dead Sea pool turns blood-red. And experts don't know why.
At least they weren't totally abandoned -- what happened to at least some military dogs in Afghanistan.
An 18-year-old won the U.S. Open...but she wasn't even supposed to be there!
King Tut and potato chips. A classic from yours truly.
Proof of time travel? This site thinks so. I have to admit -- some of these ARE odd. Time slip events can be just as strange.
A Minnesota record fish -- caught by a teenager.
Have you thought about buying one of those bargain home in Italy? Here are some people who did.
Grimace, the McDonald's mascot is... a TASTEBUD?!?
Worrying about Covid. As in REALLY worrying about Covid. (From I Pick Up Pennies)
How a stained shirt changed this woman's approach to life as a consumer. (From She Picks Up Pennies)
'Frivolous expenses, emotional flashbacks...and reserving judgment.' (From Penniless Parenting)
"You can eat the candles." Huh?? Oh yes, they were also touring California's wine country.
Our President -- afraid to take questions at a press conference. Or anywhere else.
Anyway, I should get going. I can get myself in trouble here. But I get in trouble for things I say, I know. No one ever doubts I mean what I say; the problem is I sometimes say all that I mean,” This from his meeting with athletes at the Olympics.
Most recently, Biden was speaking to union leaders on Tuesday during a belated Labor Day celebration at the White House event and noted what he was supposed to do at the end.“Now, I’m supposed to stop and walk out of the room here,” Biden said as he concluded his speech. “I’m going to stop, and with your permission, I’m going to walk into the room because I want to say hello to all of you.”
Makes ya proud, don't it?
The Roe vs Wade baby that should have been aborted -- is now a 51-year-old with children of her own. Needless to say, she wasn't that fond of the mother who wanted to abort her, gave her up for adoption -- then expected gratitude because she wasn't allowed to abort her child. Hmmm...Just as interesting:
The half-sister of the Roe baby chimes in. She was also given up for adoption, but raised by her grandmother. (She thought her real mother was her sister, at first.
Mike Pence rings in after President Biden's Covid mandate: "You've got to stop playing politics with people's lives..."
"But to say that it's not about freedom - it's exactly about freedom, America is about freedom and the ability to make the best decision for your family, for your business,' Pence said. 'And the approach this administration is taking now with this new surge of mandates and dictates from Washington, D.C. and also with not respecting the leadership at the state level - that was central to the approach of the White House coronavirus taskforce."
A woman misses her plane -- so she tells staff that a bomb is in her luggage -- which did make it on board. The plane turned around, all right...but she did NOT get on it.
The panels of the Amber Room were NOT on the Karlsruhe shipwreck, as hoped. Better luck next time.
Have a great week.
