At the doctor’s office yesterday I could not help but hear a conversation between two workers at the desk.

One was trim and the other one was morbidly obese. The obese one asked the trim one if she had lost weight.

The trim one said others had asked her that but she didn’t think so. She said her weight stays around 140-145.

The other one said her right foot weighed 145.

They both laughed and the obese one gave the trim one a hug.

Sense of humor is so important!

Yesterday a great couple at our church that is closing were talking to me about the church they plan to attend which is a thirty minute drive. This church has a choir but they need an accompanist so they suggested me to them.

No way! I will be so glad to quit playing for people. I am counting the months. If I didn’t have horrible stage fright I would not mind. I am finally getting off the stage!

No more teaching in front of huge crowds and no more playing the piano at church.

I wish them well and I hope they find someone but it will not be me. I am done.

A while back I talked about how some boxes are easy to open and others require a ridiculous amount of effort and then is difficult to return since it is so hard to get it back into the package.

Well, I ordered a slide scanner that is going to work out well and the package is easy to open.

Unfortunately, the gizmo I needed for my new camera did not work out. We had our young friend over to see if he could get it going with the downloads and he could not do it.

Of course, that package was ridiculous and we bought that at a store that takes thirty minutes to get to. The clerk assured me it would work with our Mac. Yeah, right.

I think this should be another one of Murphy’s Laws. If you have to take an item back to the store it is almost 100% likely to be in a box that has to be torn apart so returning the item is a pain.

Beautiful day! Time to step away from the computer.

I now have a separate scanner for documents and one for slides.

I don’t have a lot of slides to scan but I do have some and I have some paintings on film of sold paintings from long ago that I want to scan and add to my portfolio.

Well, as usual, I messed something up on the computer when I was working with my camera yesterday. Clyde couldn’t figure it out so the young calvary will be here tonight.

Great! Before I mess up my new scanner I can get him to help me with that, too! My camera mess up is going to work to my advantage this time.

Also be sure to check out my Youtube shorts! I have another one below!

Yesterday I wanted to get some salmon for supper and Clyde was with me.

Since it was just one item he stayed in the car and, as always, checked out the birds.

Although it is rare, sometimes there isn’t any salmon. I mentioned that to Clyde and I thought he said fish grow back.

He didn’t hear my comment about the salmon and what he really said was Fish Crow is back.

Life with a Naturalist can be very interesting and confusing at times.

We were watching Jeremy Wade’s River Monsters program last night.

He was trying to find out why some people in a southern part of Africa were claiming a mermaid with reddish eyes and mythological beauty was attacking people.

He assumed it was a large fish and examined the tiger fish. Under water the eyes did seem to give off a glow.

He held up one with huge teeth and said this certainly is not a mythological beauty.

Clyde was quick to chime in, “Oh no? Ask another tiger fish”.

Probably right. LOL!

Love Looney Tunes. As I have said before, I would be in my second childhood if I had ever gotten out of my first.

Yesterday I saw the one with Yosemite Sam trying to win the hand of a rich old widow. She lived in Doughnut Center.

Under Doughnut Center there was the phrase What a Hole. That cracked me up.

Laughter is so important to my days.

Lot of scary stuff in the news and on the internet. Since I spend a lot of time promoting my artwork online I am constantly running into scary posts.

I like to remind myself of the saying, “The Sky is Falling”. People are always saying that in one way or another and I keep reminding myself of that.

Just hope it is still not true during these unusual times. You don’t need to be an Historian to see some alarming trends of our times.

We all have to hope everything will work out and the sky is not really falling.

Be sure to check out my Youtube shorts! I have one below. This one got a lot of attention!

So much to do but I have been just playing on the internet. So many Youtubes that I agree with are all over the place.

I get caught up in them and then there is Hoopla. Found a great movie that I saw many years ago that I loved. It is The Bachelor which is a remake of a Buster Keaton movie and hilarious like the original.

Time to get this snail moving.

Cheers on a beautiful Sunday!
