Monday Stuff on the Way to Other Stuff: Whoo Hoo!

 Life right now feels like this:



We've got less than a month before we change gears and do something different. Meanwhile, I have a huge report (whose owner has been very patient with me), a smaller report (ditto) -- and an appraisal day to accomplish. I'm hoping/planning to plant some seeds, too, so the baby plants will be ready to, well, 'baby.' 
     People to see, places to go, things to do. Plus some storms that come out of nowhere. That's spring for you here in Colorado.
    Meanwhile:

Fortunately, this hiker, buried in an avalanche, had one arm free.

Jimmy Carter wasn't exactly the easygoing, polite Southern boy to his Secret Service detail. Oops.

A giant lacewing, a holdover from the Jurassic period...found plastered on a Walmart wall!

She/he of the giant bazoombas is finally on leave. (Paid leave, but hey...at least she/he won't be taking the risk disfiguing themselves in shop class just by leaning over the table saw.)

Signs that you have a higher level of intelligence.  Supposedly.

The self-driving car that repossesses itself if payments aren't kept up.

If you've ever wondered -- Civil War 'Confeds' do the Rebel Yell.

People who lived alone. As in really alone.

Another gem gleaned from Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop:

I would be honored to assist in the vision of His Excellency but would be remiss in not pointing out the fractured nature of our current administration,' Jim wrote, referring to the then-newly elected president Donald Trump.

Have a good week.
