Happy Birthday Fungi!!
I've been trying to post since last night. Cake will have to be "baked" later.
Cake is ready to eat! I love red velvet. The only problem is that something that shouldn't be red, is always red after I make it. Hope your day is super!

Rochester
man charged with photographing under woman’s skirt at Pick ’n Save
RACINE
— A Rochester man, facing a felony charge for allegedly taking a cellphone
photo underneath a woman’s skirt while she was grocery shopping, has been
granted another week to hire a lawyer.
Matthew
J. Stegall, 26, of the 700 block of Fox Knoll Drive, is charged with a single
count of capturing an image of nudity without consent after he reportedly was
spotted by a store employee as he took pictures underneath the woman’s dress as
she shopped Aug. 19 at the Waterford Pick ’n Save
It’s called voyeurism;
I do not believe it is illegal to take pictures or videos of someone as
long as they are outside in public; everyone is fair game.In private it is a different story.If you were dancing nude inside your home and
I could see you from outside and filmed you…that’s illegal because you are
supposedly in the safety of your own home and can do what you wish.
Racine Transparency is linking to a new website in Racine: Racine Community Media. I know absolutely nothing about the site, so please don't associate me with some vague notion of "political conspiracy." If you must associate me with something, then let it be the Church of the SubGenius. Meantime, I'm looking forward to interesting reading coming from Racine Community Media. The blog is now listed under our local blogs section in the sidebar.
An eighty year old man was having an annual physical. As
the doctor was listening to his heart with the stethoscope, he began muttering,
"Uh oh!" The man asked the doctor what the problem was. "Well," said the doc, "you have a serious heart murmur. Do you
smoke " "No," replied the man. "Do you drink in
excess?" "No," replied the man. "Do you have a sex
life?" "As a matter of fact, I do!" "Well," said the
doc, "I'm afraid with this heart murmur, you'll have to give up half your
sex life." Looking perplexed, the old man asked, "Which half...the
LOOKING or the THINKING???"
It's that time of year.... The warbler migration has finally reached its peak, sending flocks of birders into the woods with hopes of tallying up their life lists.
Wisconsin is the host to 42 species of these highly active and colorful birds. Personally, I have only seen 24 of these species. They spread across the state in a wide range of habitats with a majority of them taking a liking to dense woodlands. Finding them is not easy.
If found, photographing them can be a nightmare. They flit from tree to tree, branch to branch-always in motion..... It goes something like this: See bird. Focus in. Snap picture. Get a wing. Try again. Get a blur. Try again, miss it completely and get branches. Try again, bird gone. Pull hair out and cuss. Repeat process until you get lucky.
However, I have gotten lucky... The top picture is a Yellow Rumped Warbler taken at Shoop Park on 5/13/2013. The first one below is a Common Yellowthroat taken at Shoop Park on 5/17/2013. The next one down is a Yellow Warbler taken on Carver School near East Troy on 5/11/2013. The bottom one is a Black Throated Green Warbler taken at Grant Park in South Milwaukee on 4/30/2013.
If you wish, NOW is the time to see them! That is, BEFORE the leaves finish covering up trees, making them really difficult to see. One of the state's hotspots is Racine's very own Colonial Park, located on West High Street by the Root River. Presently, the Hoy Audubon Society is having warbler walks at Colonial Park on Wednesday nights at 5:30 during the month of May. That's were I have seen most of my warblers. I'll leave you with a picture of a Palm Warbler taken at the "Ponds" Subdivision in Caledonia on 4/23/2013.
We could not believe this when we went to Whitewater University to pick my daughter to bring her home. Driving down the main street on the college campus the garbage in the yards from the kids having a party the night before. You can say it usually is going out with a bang but for the kids it is going out with a hangover for the school year. When I seen the yards I told Drew I had to get a picture and write a blog about this. I was just wondering how many under age kids got fines for drinking. Here is the picture from the kids partying!
Hello everybody and welcome back! It has been a week of ups and downs, (mostly ups), but I survived and looking forward to a weekend of getting away. Anyways, some questions for you....
1) How many e-mails (on average) do you get a day?
2) What summer camps did you go as a child?
3) What is the most enjoyable experience your family has done together?
Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call. The
house was very, very dark, so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-year-old
girl, to hold a flashlight high over her Mommy so he could see while he helped
deliver the baby. Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked. Heidi
pushed and pushed, and after a little while Connor was born. The
paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor
began to cry.
The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the
wide-eyed 3-year old what she thought about what she had just witnessed.
Kathleen quickly responded, "He shouldn't have crawled in there in the
first place......... smack his butt again!"

A little too clear. A little too.... too. Am I giving it away, again? Or is it time for a kk win? I'm putting the "specific" requirement on. You must be spot on to claim the prize. So, is it live, or is it Memorex?
A smart gal always uses the correct tool to get the job done! The winning answer would be Carpenter's Folding Ruler, but anything including the words wooden, folding or expanding ruler would have won this week. But, instead, I take the prize... I stumped the Irregulators. (finally) My dad had several of these fragile beauties. As kids, if we were caught using them... the poop would hit the fan. I guess that is why I cherish them now.
Hello, my fluid friends!How are you?The weather has kind
of gotten warmer.We’ve had a long
winter and I’ll grab at any scrap of hope that I can, even if it’s just a few
degrees.I’ve seen daffodils and tulips
flowering, so it must be spring.If you
go by the calendar, it’s spring.If you
go by the weather, it’s a schizophrenic mess.
Oh my, oh my, oh my! Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!I was reading in the newspaper about the
toddler from Mount Pleasant who was
tortured to death.Apparently, it was done
by his mother’s boyfriend.I don’t know
the words to convey my loathing for child killers.Unfortunately, Racine’s
Circuit Court does not share my opinion.The last child murderer we had tortured Brian Haws to death.That killer received only two years.I believe that Racine County Criminal
“Justice” System is sick and getting worse.They regularly dismiss the value of a child’s life.That’s another “pattern or practice.”Sometimes I’m ashamed to say what city I live
in.
What does it do to a city’s psyche when one of its most
prominent, and richest, members is accused of child molestation, charges are
filed, and then the case just sits for month after month?I think it wounds us.We need healing STAT.
This is the time of year when the parties are just gearing
up in Racine.I can’t keep track of them all, but the
JournalTimes.com calendar has complete info on what is happening around town: http://journaltimes.com/calendar/Thank you, JournalTimes.com, for all that you
do for us.
I predict that we’ll see this sooner than later:
Thank you for stopping by, my irregular and regular
readers.I love spending time with
you.You are why I blog.
Enjoy whatever good weather we get.I’d advise you to pray for warmth, but then
it might zoom up into the 90’s.This is
better sleeping weather, not hot and humid.Leptodactylous.
