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:


Another well-known photographer admits to using AI and other hacks. Like the bartender says in Destry Rides Again: "This is becoming monotonous!"

A white cat sneaks out the door...and comes back covered in lipstick kisses. Hmmm.

Amazing dresses people made themselves. These are generally gorgeous, too.

The 'fateful 50th mission in WWII,' remembered by a 103-year-old pilot.

DNA and 'genetic geneaology' do their job in helping cops solve cold cases. 

Bringing back the bodies of people you love from Everest. (It's crazy-expensive, by the way.)

Bacon cheeseburger rice. Quick and delicious. (Think porcupine rice tweaked, if you're familiar with that dish.)

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.




This Naw-than girl was very curious about this, having married a good 'ol North Carolina boy. 

People who lived alone. As in really alone.

What's next after Cocaine Bear? Attack of the Meth Gator! (from my Sharknado buddies)

The newest race faker to be exposed quickly resigns from her position. 

Another gem gleaned from Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop: 

Hunter's Uncle Jim used his connections with his brother and nephew to drum up business with a Qatari prince.

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.

'My family could provide a wealth of introductions and business opportunities at the highest levels that I believe would be worthy of the interest of His Excellency.'

'An embroidery fail: digging up the past.'  (From Needle 'n Thread)

Who won a spin race against her husband -- in heels and a skirt?  Why, the Princess of Wales, that's all.

After 12 years, a murder case is on its way to resolution -- thanks to a sweet potato.

A Missouri pastor and his elders foil a church robbery -- by talking and praying. Thank God.

A man working as a border inspector finds out his birth certificate was fake -- he was a Mexican citizen. This is a complicated story worth considering.

Ten significant Biblical archeological discoveries.

'Dress rich' -- even if you aren't.

'What's the most valuable item you've ever found in a book?'  Quora readers open the pages on this.

The 'rarest baseball feat' just happened in college baseball: two grand slams in one inning!

Now you know where to rent movies after Armageddon:


The first time a pet did this or saw that -- a fun gallery of expressions.

A dozen cold cases solved in 2022.

Redneck engineering. Some great ideas here.

Now the FBI director says that Covid came from a Wuhan lab! Good enough for ya??

Covid 'facts' assumed by experts now strongly questioned. Think about these. 

A new shipwreck discovered in Lake Huron. The Ironton sank in 1894...and is still sitting upright on the bottom of this Great Lake. Be sure to watch the video on this link -- fascinating.

Have a good week.
