The lyrics were easy. “Zero, zero, zero, one ...”
Large foot!
My brane is telling that what my eyes see doesn’t make sense. The Late Igor knew all about that stuff, having worked in aerospace after his navy career, but I just had to let it go. My brain doesn’t do math.
Clumsy me...as I was fumbling around in the dark for another sip of ice water, I knocked my 64oz mug to the floor and this time, the lid broke. I had used the last of the ice cubes, thinking this would last me til morning when the ice cube trays would be solid once more, so I not only lost all the cold water...it was the ice cubes as well.
*groan* I had to get up and turn the lamp on and mop up the water and it really irritated me that I could be so clumsy. It’s not the first time that happened. But this time, the lid broke.
I stopped at the Rebel station at the corner and they are all out. If I feel up to it in the morning, I will go to the only other one that’s close...about two miles away, and see if they have any.
For now, the lid is “repaired” with duct tape.
*whispers*
(I hope it doesn’t cost too much. Last time [three years] it was $6.99, and then there is tax...and I’m running low on funds.)
Teddy Roosevelt has to be our coolest President.
Rides a moose, and has the Teddy Bear named after him.
You have to admit that riding a moose and saving a bear cub that becomes a teddy bear, is way cool.
I’ve never been to Maine, and I’ve never seen a moose.
I have watched Bullwinkle. I have seen a picture of our Moose which was posted here. He’s quite good looking. IMHO. Alas, they aren’t real moose.
(The plural of moose is moose? )
I suspect that picture is not an accurate depiction. For one thing, Teddy's hands are in the position of one holding reins, but the moose obviously has no bridle to effect control.
The logical conclusion is that the "picture" is a PhotoShop confabulation.
Oh, you don’t let dead presidents have any fun!
Why, yes ma'am I certainly do. I tell them, all and sundry, "Get in my wallet!"
If everyone in the world was exactly like me ...
... they would still annoy the crap out of me.
Roosevelt on the moose, William Howard Taft on an elephant, and Woodrow Wilson on one of his family members, a jackass.

While Ms. Cole is possibly qualified to be a book curator, a sort of backwoods one room librarian, she is woefully informed as to the re-touching and masking of photographic negative film. Her comments on the use of tape is risible. Clearly a child of this computer era and quite possibly an affirmative action hire.
The photograph is clearly a confabulation, but one involving techniques more than a hundred years old and never presented as anything else but a sort of cartoon.
That said Teddy Roosevelt was a bona fide pioneer in the hunting of rhinos, an admirable pursuit in which conservatives should indulge with glee.

All of a sudden, my eyelids wanted to slam shut, so I took a nap for an hour. Dang. What did I miss? Besides dead presidents?
I have an authentic Teddy bear, 100th Anniversary edition.
It’s going to be about 110 or so again today. :o]
Our forecast says 94.
97 currently, with 16%.
I need another breathing treatment. Chest pains are back...they seem to come when I first wake up. I dunno wassupwithat.
It’s supposed to be 95 with 100 percent humidity.
Warnings for seniors and small children and babies to stay inside. They have a cooling center near me but I’m thinking of going to a movie. Theaters are air conditioned.
Just nothing out I want to pay 10 for. I have Netflix.
I’d go to a movie, but I don’t have the money, and they won’t let me bring in my own popcorn. I’d get kettle corn if I wanted to smuggle some in...with my backpack, no one would know...
100% humidity???? I missed that when I read it the first time! Air you can drink! Last time I experienced that, I was in VA. And then MO before that. Ugly stuff.
It’s a jungle in the DC area.
