OK... Here we Go...
1. If I were young, I would move to Canada. But I'm also wondering if the poles
will reverse soon. so.... maybe it's wiser to keep an eye on Tierra Del Fuego?

2. John Dalton, the famous British scientist, was born on this day, or maybe
tomorrow. Britannica doesn't know either. *le sigh* If THEY don't know it, well
then, NOBODY knows it. And does it even matter?
3. It is so hot today we are hibernating. At least that's our excuse for today. I'm not surprised that the early French lived in caves. No telling what sort of sub human was "out there". Also, we have no way of knowing just how hot (or cold) it was on their semi-furry bodies. Oh yes, they had a lot of body hair. Some of us still do!

| Isn't he cute? I think so. He's and artist's reconstruction from a skull, I think. Is that a smirch or a smile? |
4. "Call the Midwife" has a new season! *Happy Dancing*
5. A long needed clean out in the photo cache is underway. I am busily trying to get rid of the "doops" and "WWIT" items. GAH!
6. It brings a wave of nostalgia that I cannot believe.
7. I just was told that someone's big mouth (he who THINKS he should be obeyed) just got himself in even hotter water. I hope it costs him a billion bucks by the time he goes to prison!
8. It rained.. well, it "clizzled".. a couple of days ago for about a half a day. Everything in the garden was loving it. God bless the gray and rainy days. When I was a but a Lass, I remember that it ALWAYS rained in September, and did so just in time for us to have to walk to and from school. lol
9. If "Happiness is a warm puppy", then I could certainly use a puppy right now. I want a long haired Chihuahua rescue, thank you very much. Short hair is fine as well. They are so little, I will take two. Please!
10. Wish I was here right now.. Note: This was supposed to be a picture of Humboldt Delta that is in Northern California, near Hollister, and at the mouth of the Humboldt River. Native Americans set up fishing weirs in this bay. It is their eternal right under treaty law. They got it in writing.. heh heh We watched them setting them up from a hilltop that overlooked the bay.
Instead, I am showing you a photo of the Central Cal coast that blogger will accept. It is of Monterey Bay, looking north from New Brighton Beach cliffs. I wish I could be in this place as well.

I think that blogger is saying goodbye. We will see. Also, there was a HUGE space between the photo of Humboldt Bay and the next item ( #11). It didn't show here but it showed in the preview. I corrected it by changing out the photo.
11. And now a word from an insider (read, "mole") at the Pentagon:
"Re: flying saucers. Did you know that the USA is the only county - in this hemisphere, anyway - where the military keeps a tight hold on any and all information on the sightings of, or actual contact with, saucers, their pilots, or any other UFO's". What are they hiding? Brazil and most of South America is an entirely different story. All information is shared. Do they think we are children whose tender eyes and ears need to be protected from X rated films of UFOs? Happily, they (the UFO’s) know better than to fly around here anymore. 'Nuff said.... You may quote me. I feel sorry for the alien pilots .. truly."
And, yes that is a direct quote from our Pentagon mole, aka "Court Jester".
12. Our Central and Northern California Coast is beautiful. Hope you get to see it someday. I'd avoid L.A. though, It is a royal mess. San Diego isn't too bad, though.
13. I have GOT to rest my sore old eyes, and thumbs. TaTa
Here is my photo of Humboldt Bay ... I finally found it!

I'm looking at Mr. Artist's Reconstruction and wonder: is that brown his pigment or is he deeply tanned from exposure to the sun?
ReplyDeleteA friend of a friend is so very into Call the Midwife. Now you're revealed as a fan. Maybe I should give it a shot.
About the man (that's a cute moniker by the way) he was likely colored that way because of what we know about the origin's of hominids from that age. Where they came from in the first place, etc., plus anthropologists doubt that the first ones from our line put bathing high on the list of their priorities. In that, there are a lot of men who still are of that mind set. Witness little boys... lol
DeleteThere is a lot of childbirth in Midwives and some of it is rather gritty but don't let that stop you. You will likely feel, as I did, that it's a big part of Women's history and needs to be there. And yes, I am totally GAGA over the show.
I sincerely hope that Blogger is not going away...
ReplyDeleteI am, too. I love Blogger. But it was cut back loose by Google some time ago, and so Blogger is still trying to make things work now that Google's big thumb is either gone or well out of the Pie.
DeletePole shift. I'm glad to be in the mountains. How can we save our blogs for history?
ReplyDeleteI love the mountains too. But I absolutely LOVE the Ocean. I do feel sorry for the coming floods in the low lands but floods happen everywhere when the weather gets this wild.
DeleteSaving blogs for history. You can archive your blog, but I'm not sure where it gets stored except on your own computer. Maybe in the Clouds? You could put it on a External Drive. One that can handle all the data. This blog has been running for almost 20 years, and I think it's time to be taking action. It is also possible to store blogs in Apple and in Google Clouds. Yours likely is, too. I'll check into it all and maybe make a post about it.
I'm so excited for the new season of Call the Midwife!
ReplyDeleteHi Danielle. I am, too! When I was zipping through my stuff on Netflix I think it said something about there were TWO new seasons but don't quote me. I had only heard, on the Bush Radio, that there was one. 💃🏻 I am dancing in the Kitchen!
DeleteI've never seen Call the Midwife. I will have to look for it. Wikipedia still lists Google as Blogger's owner. I haven't been having any problems with it. I print out my blog quarterly; it's a little expensive (I have it done by blog2print) but at least I will have most of it if blogger goes down.
ReplyDeleteI think they do still own it, but they gave the staff -the originators anyway- back a large measure of control over content. Blogger is so popular that Google thought it was a good idea to play nice? "Call the Midwife" is mostly about women, mothers, and children and so I fell for it BIG time when it first aired. I've watched it several times over. Hope you like it because it's a good, and fairly honest look, at the neighborhood down by the docks that fought for it's survival.
