Blessedly cooling off around here. Whew. We're not going anywhere for Labor Day -- just venturing out in the stream of RVs, campers and gawking tourists along Highway 160 is bad enough.
We both have things to do, anyways...the Brick has been repairing a leak in the master bathroom sinks, and just ordered $260 of screws for the roof. (Turns out the roof metal panels have been lifting up -- and lifting the screws with them. They need to be replaced before snow falls.)
I am starting to make progress with reports, but have a lot to go.
Happy Labor Day!
Meanwhile:
A proper Sunday High Tea -- at least what James Herriot's housekeeper thought was...
How to stay in a 'broke' mindset -- and save. (From the Financial Samurai)
'Ancient Marvels' that people still haven't figured out. (Many of these are rarely mentioned -- but amazing.)
Who likes/hates/is indifferent to who in the Democratic Party? What a mess...
Amazing scams people actually got away with. (Please -- stop and think before you respond to a 'too good to be true' or 'your grandson is in jail' phone call!)
A look at 'marked' women -- and their kid(s). A classic from yours truly.
Sorry, people -- you're going to have to pay your own student loans. (We did.)
'Rich and famous people' who know what it's like to be homeless. (These may surprise you.)
Siberian meat dumplings -- and here's a way to see how they're done:
(Splendid Table's salmon cakes look pretty good, too.)
A Silver goddess figure - Corum Province Turkey - thousands of years old with gold highlights.
I asked the Brick what he thought of, looking at this figure: he said the aliens from Independence Day. But here's what I thought of first:
A boy accidentally smashes a 3500-year-old jar at Israel's Hecht Museum -- and is invited back to see it repaired. (Very kind of them, quite frankly.)
"A 'genie' seal is discovered in Israel -- that mentions two names in the Bible.
A 12-year-old finds an ancient Roman bracelet -- while walking his dog in Sussex, England.
Really Nice animal family pics. Including this one:
Kamala Harris DID live in Berkeley...
'Rich and famous people' who know what it's like to be homeless. (These may surprise you.)
The American flag was banned in Oklahoma classrooms -- so some students fought back.
Have a good week.
