So on top of the autonomic vehicle that Honorary VP Leon Musk claims he invented, here’s someone who cranked up their automatic floor cyclone, let it go, and watched it etch-a-sketch a carpet heart!

Do they still have that thing about breaking a mirror giving seven years of bad luck? Just asking.

Nothing funny, nothing notable, just a stream on a winter's day. Keep this one handy for when the doctor asks how your stream is.

AND then...save this for when Mr Bigdome gets all up in your grill and wants to know why you're late. Bonus: This will work the same amount of times as the number of bosses you have.

Our Eddie loves to look out the windows and see birds, squirrels, and the occasional rabbit outside. She would be flabbergasted to see monkeys out there! Maybe we should put out some bananas.

A Norwegian flag, a sunny sky, a carpet of yellow flowers...let's ride that bike!

Yes, things may become befogged, but look for the lady who lifts her lamp beside the golden door. She won't let us get lost.

Uncle Ethan thought it would be hilarious to give his nephew a drum set. I wonder how long it took to roll it all down the driveway. 

Maybe we'll have snow on Monday! It looks so pretty, this time of year.

Those doggone kids with their spray paint! Then came some other kids with *their* spray paint, and they went full Springfield.  Well done!

Another idea

 One of the "challenges" faced by anyone who's recently enjoyed a bit of knee surgery is the daily fun of routine body washing. Beyond staggering  walking out of the shower comes the part where one dries one's lower extremities while hopping on one leg like Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull.

At least I don't have to play a flute.

But as they say in prison movies (and in prison, I suppose) I have plenty of time to think these days, so I offer this idea free of charge to America's great homebuilders and bathroom remodelers, all of whom are back to advertising on TV with Planet Fitness and Sono Bello, now that the holidays are in the rear view...

Just install an array of hot air blowers right outside the shower, like at the car wash! 

The benefits are many! We'll save time, we'll be dryer sooner, we'll use far fewer towels, thereby giving the laundry room a break, and we'll go on about our days feeling like brand-new SUVs, gleaming in the sun!

2025 just started, and the future looks bright already.

 

I like Stir-Fry, but not Sci-Fi.

 I've never been into science fiction, or science non-fiction, for that matter, although in high school I once wrote a glowing report on the life of Marie Curie.

Glowing. 

Anyway, because the people in charge of holidays thought it best to get this one over with, today is National Science Fiction Day, so all the Star Wars super fans can stay home and watch oddball space creatures doing humanoid things. 

Sort of like Elon.

So, enjoy the books and TV shows and movies and what-all else, if it's your thing. One thing about science fiction folks that I've always liked is that they don't tie you up and force you to endure a Deep Space Nine marathon. They're happy, and they want you to be happy too.

Say howdy!

 This is a traditional southern New Year's Day dinner! 

You have skillet cornbread, bacon, Black-eyed peas, and greens (turnip, mustard, or collard: all great!)

If this is how you're tieing on the feedbag today, we can be there in 20 minutes...

They say the peas are for good luck. But if you're eating like this, you're already lucky!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
