Bedtime Games

Make your best guess and.... GO TO BED!
Answer revealed tomorrow. 

Sometimes you have to look outside the box, below the surface, or maybe behind the curtain to find the correct answer to what you are seeking. 

Play safe, play kind and considerate, Irregulars. 

We have a winner. Congratulations, THB!!! You've earned another bragging right with your accurate assessment of a spool of thread.  

Don't tell my old sewing teacher that I stuck the needle into the spool. It was always a big no-no.  She drilled the fact that it splits the thread.  Ha... I'm the boss now!

I thought this week might prove to be more difficult, but the Irregulars amaze me week-after-week. Great guess on the electric rollers, Mary.  I might have chosen the same after reviewing the photo... and I already knew what it was!   

There I am!

Here, where the little blue flag sits, 

will one day be my final resting place. 

Just to the right, just out of the shot, 

is the flag where my sister and fiance will be, 

right next to me and my hubby. 

I loved the view, a nice place to visit. 

My niece, as well as a girl from work, 

think this is terribly morbid. 

How is pre-planning, being prepared

and having it all set and paid for

so the girls won't have to worry what to do

with us someday ,  morbid? 

I found it quite a relief to finally have a plan, so

our kids don't have to go thru figuring anything out. 

Kids these days... .like I'm going to live forever...

I have to die if I'm ever to haunt them! :)

(ok, now that may be slightly morbid)

Dear Madame Zoltar

Madame Zoltar has not been feeling herself lately, so she took the day off.  Watch for her column to return next week, same time, same channel.

I apologize for being so late in posting this.  Time Warner Cable is my internet service provider - enough said.

Happy Birthday, Legal Stranger

Let the well wishes begin. Your treats are baked, just unavailable for publication at the moment due to technical difficulties. Stay tuned while I lick the frosting bowl! 

Happy Birthday, buddy!

Groovy, flower power.

Is that a warbler?

Happy Birthday, Fungi

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!

Open Blog - Monday

That should be easy enough.

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.

New website for Racine.

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.

     

Happy Birthday, SER

We love you, buddy! 

Happy Birthday!

80 YEAR OLD MAN

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???"

Warblers

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.

Happy birding!  

     

The Last Party of the School Year!

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!
