The flies are out...and the moths. They've had a great time flying around our faces. Maybe it's the heat that's brought them out. At any rate, Tiger enjoys snapping at them...the other dogs pay no attention. Our dear Buck, our Weimaraner, used to really go for moths and spiders -- maybe they were "spicy" to him.
Still plugging away at various tasks. The lights for the back steps have arrived, and the Brick is busy hanging them up.
Meanwhile:
A postage increase is on your doorstep! The dears at the U.S. Post Office are planning on a nearly 5% increase for first class, as of July 12 or 13. They already snuck in nearly 9% increase on priority mail back in April, arguing that production and transportation costs had gone up. Well sure, but...we don't get a discount for driving there, or our time spent mailing things. (I know -- picky, picky, picky.)
The motal: buy your Forever stamps NOW, and save yourself in the future.
How an unusual marketer turned 'ridiculous ventures' into moneymakers. Another lesson in not following (or necessarily believing) the crowd.
An Alice in Wonderland mural is back on display -- a WPA wonder from the Depression era.
George Washington's "small beer" -- now you can get it (or a version of it) for the Fourth.
A day in the life of a Colorado campground host.
Ten 'hidden' architectural and other gems to see in New York City.
"The Bag Lady of Castle Rock" -- a very odd lady that hangs around my old neighborhood. Yes, she has her own Youtube page -- not that she appreciates it, I'd guess, because it messes up her scamming abilities. But hey...
A rather funny anniversary of Home Free - and sea shanties!
Dozens of historical treasures worth admiring. Including, of all things, Greek octopus coins.
The best hot dogs on the market... according to this reviewer, anyway.
What does the Trump family-- especially the President -- love to eat?
Yellowstone Park's "lake music." No one knows for certain what it is -- and how it's caused.
Queen Elisenda lives! Well, sort of...
Have a good week. And if you say something -- mean it.
