Its a nice day and about to get more nice! Pun# 27 is unrelated to that last statement.

 If you haven't figured it out yet, I am doing some changes inside my computer. Some of the things that I say may sound simple. Well, some times they are. Then, there are the times when they sound simple and they are more like meant to draw a response. Got to remember, there are a dozen countries that read this blog daily and it is increasing. So, like I learned a long time ago about retail, never fall in love with your products. That same philosophy also fits to readership. Watching what goes on has always paid big dividends in the form of being a go-to- place to read the other side of the world. Appreciation to my readers in all countries is the goal. Big one, at that. But, you never know until you try. 

Here's the pun for today, folks: Pun # 27. It goes like this:


"A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat."

 

 

In down time, I have been working on my weak link: night photography.



Southern Methodist (SMU) University and the parking lot of the Methodist Church in University Park. I love signs like this!
This guy, was so comical. He flagged me down to take this picture. The new dorms on Bush Street across from the Bush Presidential Center are seen over the University Park fence along NCX, more known as Central Expressway US 75 South bound just before Mockingbird Exit. It is across from its new name,  SMU/Mockingbird Station so as to better reflect it's association with SMU. It certainly helps being an ex-president and neighbor within  a 10 mile circle. 

 

Enjoy the last weekend of astrological summer. Fall arrives Wednesday, officially. Might try to get out to Addison for Oktoberfest at Addison Circle tomorrow. No Guarantees.

Friday is here already and so is Pun # 26

Pun # 26 is ready to make someone smile. Hope you do too.

Here is # 26. It goes like this:

 

"A lot of money is tainted. It taint yours and it taint mine."

 We do like having you as a reader. Got to have a little fun now and then. Then, I got to thiking, my customers on Zazzle need a little humor too. So, I started adding color to some of my products. Then, remembering what mom also ran her life by, "Just keeping it simple." So I did. Hope you enjoy that side of this blog and the little things that help pay the bills to maintain the web site.

Pun #25. Amazingly wierd to have 4 watching 15 sunrises and sets a day.

 While  growing up watching the launch of Alan Shepard  into the sky and, every one thereafter on television, was interesting in my childhood. Must admit, the lunar landings and take off were a bit nerve-racking, but it became second place to me emotionally. 

That nerve-racking ritual happened twice this year already with the billionaire space race launches and returns. Now, we have 4 average Joe's circling the planet for three days, higher than the international space station at 357 miles above earth. There is some puzzlement with the return and the heat shield that the private brand capsule has. There was some attempt to answer that question with Mr. Bezos' flying machine. 

Well wishes go out to these human Guinea pigs. Yes, it slipped out in a reporters attempt to explain to people that they were doing science projects as to how  much radiation their blood would get etc.,etc., without the training the "real" astro guys have. Hence, they are serving as Guinea pigs.That does not bother me as much as this: Wrapping my brain around the fact that people (for what ever excuse they give)  will not go get a simple shot to end this pandemic, but other average Joe's are sailing around the earth 5 times a day. Excuse me, but that's just insane. Enough.... here comes the pun! (for today that is #25)

 

"Every calendar's days are numbered"

 

Hand made Alter and Wreath


             Dallas' Parks and Recreation Program to reseed Native American Grasses is a big hit.
               The handmade wreath is actually, a work of art in high Keltic tradition for weddings.

Pun#23 follows Hurricane Nick's landfall .

TS Nicholas and Pun #22 for the day.

 Well,TS Nick has already given Dallas a quick little shower from the leading edges of clouds being produced by the old boy, Nick. It's most likely gonna miss us but we have had the clouds coming up from the Gulf since yesterday. This time of year, any little bit of rain saves water by watering the plants. Doesn't do much to raise the level of the lakes, but the conservation levels are pretty much at 0 right now. That's a good thing. Not to much to have to release needed water and not to little for the ecology of the lakes. 

Haven't had bands of clouds from Tropical Storms for a couple or three years. I like seeing them return  because I like to photograph the clouds and check them against the Cloud Atlas. It's kind of a fun thing to do. 


Now for the pun # 22. It goes like this: 

"You feel stuck with your debt if  you can't budge it."

 

"Henry,gas up the jet. It's out behind the barn."
Some one was!

Warning for # 21 pun, It's just a pun folks!

 In today's world, one must be careful what you say, cause some fool is going to take it the wrong way. Then, there will be those that just do not have an open mind. So, hence, the warning message. 


Today's pun # 20 goes like this:

" A grenade thrown into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum Blownapart."





Might want to expand to 100% to read, if interested

It All Started in the wee hours of May 28th when 80 MPH winds was tossing everything against the side of my house.

 Those winds were substained for well over 40 minutes. The results were trees everywhere down or large branches broken off. One of my bus ro...
