Daughter #2 and Son #1 have been spending the past few days here...lots of talk and show & tell. (They just got back from digging dinosaur teeth and bones in Wyoming.) They're headed back on the circuit soon -- their Phenomenal Gems booth will be in Creede, CO next.
More work on appraisal reports...tidying up... and getting ready for next week's visit to Palmer Lake -- and the guild there. More on this soon.
Want to see a bunch of pregnant Colorado rattlesnakes? Here's a live cam. (Shudder)
Another intriguing Quora question: "What's the most intelligent thing you've ever seen an animal do by its own choice?" Like this one:
Quite a few years ago we had a cat Tommy who would turn the TV on when he was alone with his cat roommate could have been a fluke but it happened many times. He also would answer the phone and my family and friends could hear him meowing in the receiver.
Amazing Pulitzer Prize winning photographs. Including this one of Coretta Scott King at her husband's funeral:
Want to buy Bernie Madoff's bed? How about the Madoffs' couches, books or other misc.? Here's your chance. (At considerably marked-up prices, of course.)
Documentaries being filmed -- that caught something unexpected.
"Has someone treated you poorly until they discovered you were wealthy and/or successful?" Quora people hold forth.
Captain Kirk's communicator and ray gun are up for auction! (They were thought lost.)
Ten strangest graves -- including one in the middle of the intersection!
Trump's Florida case is dimissed! And not because of the Supreme Court decision, either...
Buying a home for your family, at age 19 -- wow.
The Picassos in the women's restroom of Tasmania's Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) -- are fakes! Actually, I find this amusing, considering that whoever wanders in there could run their hands all over the paintings. (Including me, probably.) And the curator (who's married to the museum's owner - go figure) admits it upfront. In fact, she says one painting was deliberately hung upside-down, to see if anyone would notice. Her blogpost about it is quite wonderful.
Hmmmm...
This at a time when Picasso's painting of his mistress fetches $317 million at auction. Yep, definitely worth the bucks.
Have a good week...keep on dancin'.
