What were your first memories of the family car? It was new at some point but we had that 1949 Oldsmobile for 10 years so it isn't very difficult for me to remember. It wasn't a convertible, however ;).

Herders in Mongolia put a scarecrow on a cooperative horse and use it to scare wolves away from their sheep and horses! I have seen the simplest of scarecrows, apparently effective. A cross with boards wearing an old shirt. Perhaps, we can give wolves and crows more credit for intelligence...

LINK The above BC Government link may work better on your computer. Yeah, I switched tablets and it failed on the second one 🤷‍♂️.

Lunar eclipse .. . neighbor's motion detection light on for some reason on the first venture outdoors. I had to go all the way down the back steps to find a useful shadow. Then, the light was off. Hazy with only a few stars. Difficult to see through the South Window glass with the added...

BC Government News — Daylight Saving Time

Okay Okay, how about this?

1992, March 2 — eight former Soviet republics join the United Nations.

A little reflection on life with a dog. My other choice was being patient while they check their "pee-mail" on a walk :D.

As we gear up for Daylight Saving Time next Sunday: Let's forget about it beginning and ending on a Sunday morning. There are plenty of people who work through the weekend so it isn't a period for adjustment for those workers. And, the "saving" purpose is to make more use of human work, don't...

Freezing under a clear sky. No wind ... Isn't that nearly Full Moon pretty?!

A sunny day and the first to hit 50°f (10° C) since before Christmas. Yes, it feels like April. Just to celebrate, here is a short little song by JJ Cale. Grasshopper — how appropriate for gardening anticipation :D! I'm very happy that J J received significant recognition for his work during...

I thought of you, Dahlia ;). “Morel Compass!” I miss my morel harvests. So easy, once I found the right locations. Stand off to one side, crouch to lower viewing angle, look for forest debris a little lifted, carefully search under that — bingo! Steve

Have you tried a blend of avocados and artichokes? I thought that was so good when DW & DD brought some home a few years ago. Then, I tried to find some on my infrequent grocery shopping ventures. Nope, so I came away with artichoke dip – a little bland. DW likes avocados and brings home...

A predicted 50⁰f (10⁰C) may happen this afternoon. Outdoors isn't likely to feel like that since there is so dang much wind. It will be the first time that the thermometer has hit that mark since just before Christmas, during that rainy week. A very mild Winter and it has been easy getting...

I had a couple of busy days. Yesterday, there was quite a bit of unloading and moving things into the house –– sufficient for 30 minutes of exercise for an olde guy. Finally, I am back to the full business of walking and arm exercises. It went just fine :). Here's something that provided a...

Oh, I have an idea for Sundays, Marie! I'll share it so that we may all consider it as Daylight Saving Time rolls around. Ernie Kovacs, eh? I haven't thought of him in years, maybe decades. Quite the joker ... and there he is with his cigar. Rather like Groucho ... Steve
