Mixed bag Monday

Okay, so I have a handful of interesting (at least to me) tidbits to share, and I need to start in on Thursday afternoon when we had an encounter with a doe that was content just to look at us.









Guy runs by, Scrappy barfs, and she just stands there.

Friday, KC sent me a text from his first week at school (Ivy Tech):

Dad work today (?) if so after class me you beer pronto(...)


He's having the "adjusting to working AND going to school" blues with a touch of "Why did I take that class THEN?".  I was myself having a plethora of issues related to the unhappy state of my digestive system at the time, and we eventually just settled on pop and burgers at a place called Dicky's.  He got some relief Saturday when his friend took him to Cleveland for an Indians game and got to see his favorite player (whose replica jerseys were being given out) win the game with an 8th inning grand slam.

My Saturday, well, mine and Laurie's, included a lunch out followed by what has been described as Hummingbirdpalooza 2015, or the Great Blog Summit 2015, or actually, just a visit to The Fortress, home of fellow Time Lord Bobby G.  A lot of good conversation, some birthday cake (from Bobby's latest), and yes, hummingbirds...

They're phone pics, I'm sorry, but if you squint at the blurry things about dead center of each, that's where she was.  So after several hours of discussing... you know, Time Lord stuff... and a couple of texts from Cleveland where Mike Trout hit the scoreboard in batting practice... and some belated birthday gifts for the folks at home, it was back to the reaches of the north.  By the way Bob, I got a touchdown on the way home... I think it was the fullback rumbling his way in from the sound of the cheers, lol!


Prior to the journey to darkest Fort Wayne, Scrappy and I came across that doe again.  We were about halfway down the back trail when she entered from the south end...

...And we saw some other sights as well...

And Sunday ended up a lazy day, though we did manage a walk, and got serenade by the local Pope...

And we finish off our story with one of the truly dumbest agenda driven stories I have ever heard- even worse than beavers causing climate change...


According to Naomi Klein, this is “clear.” According to social activist and best-selling author Naomi Klein, climate change isn’t just destroying our planet — it’s making racism worse, too. “You see that in Australia where the treatment of migrants is a profound moral crisis,” she said, according to a piece published in The Guardian. “It’s clear that as sea levels rise that this mean streak and open racism is going to become more extreme – climate change is an accelerant to all those other issues,” she continued.


See, you don't need cause and effect with this bunch.  Just an agenda and something to blame it on.  Have a nice rest of the day!
