Random Thoughts or Whatever

"A whole lot of nothing".

On a surface look-see, there's a ton of ways to appreciate/ascertain this random thought.

I used to make money thousands at a time and spend it in hundreds. For some reason, now I do the opposite.

Help me get the timeline right. Is the Flinstones set before or after Planet Of The Apes?

 

[Pio1980]

Fair question, P.

Maybe start a petition for equality?

Let me know how that one goes, eh?


Q

Maybe they won't want gargoyle representation?

Time flies when you are having a good time.
Timing flies is a buzzkill.

One of the cats has started randomly sniffing my armpit, AND It ain't even Saturday!!!

Because of renovations upstairs I borrowed a brother-in-law and moved to the basement hallway a 1959 Zenith SF185 stereo (turntable, radio), a 1927 Edison C-19 Diamond Disc Record Player and a 1935 Zenith 9-S-54 Radio. If I move my Grandparents' Crosley 555 radio and their 1920s crank telephone set out, can I get tax breaks for owning a museum???

Time flies, bet you can't.

 

[Pio1980]

Time flies, bet you can't.

Can't time flies, or can't fly?

 

[highvoltage_]

Can't time flies, or can't fly?

Try to time a fly in flight, bet you can't.

Speaking of flies and flying fruit, somewhat related is the Bug-A-Salt, uses salt to blast flies and other insect pests. I've been using standard Morton type table salt, rather fine, and this being fly season exhausted the supply. Checking, I found pink Himalayan sea salt in the cupboard, somewhat courser grains. At first was hesitant, not wanting to clog the mechanism, happy to report it greatly increased the knock down power and range with no loading or discharge issues. Kind of like going from #8 bird shot to #2 shot so anyone with a Bug-A-Salt can be assured it can handle a heavier load than standard white table salt. A wasp, big spider, no question, not anymore.

Did you know trees talk? Well, they do. They talk to each other and they’d talk to you, too, if you listen. Trouble is, white people don’t listen. They never learned to listen to the Indians, so I don’t suppose they’ll listen to other voices in Nature. But I have learned a lot from trees; sometimes about the weather, sometimes about animals, sometimes about the Great Spirit.
