Can you hear me now?

News item: you can now download an app that lets you text message God. Who found out that cell number? Does that mean he also gets those annoying text messages saying you can upgrade your phone? I could not make up stuff this weird even if I tried. This is even better than "take you gun to church day".

fireworks

Keeping with my habit of procrastination, here is my July 4 post. Actually, our local fireworks were delayed until July 5 because of all-day rain on the 4th. So I'm only 3 days late. Plus, I was sick then but now I'm not. So....let's celelbrate!

Where's everybody at?

I coulda been a contender

I've been demoted from fish electrofishing surveys because I'm too slow and uncoordinated to net the fish. Being short does not help, either because the person carrying the fish shockng equipment is typically tall. When you are short, you get a reflective glare from the water that the taller person is not subject to. Maybe I should have thought of that years ago when I was doing my career planning. I was short, slow and uncoordinated then, too.

Probably not the way to do your career planning.....

Maybe I shoulda been a wetland biologist. The plants don't move very fast, and there seems to be a demand for this type of service.

My birthday is comiing up and I'm over 50, so I have reasons to be in a contemplative mood.
