The new banner show a photograph taken by my staff (wife) from the front porch. I wanted to photograph one of them with my .30-.30, but I was afraid that my staff would report me to ‘Operation Game Thief’ and collect the $1,000.00 reward. Out here…reward is pronounced ‘reeeeward’.

The methodology:I picked eight organic Blue Lake greenbeans from a fresh packet.
I brought one cup of water up to boiling in the microwave. Cooled it to room temperature on the counter.
I drew one cup of drinking water and brought it to room temperature on the counter.
I soaked four layers of paper towels. Four beans in one batch. Four beans in the other.
I wrapped the beans in the paper towels and placed them in separate sandwich bags.
I placed the partially open bags on a sunny windowsill. They got about 4 hrs. of sunlight daily.
At the end of a week all of the beans in batch A germinated (drinking water).
There was partial germination of one bean. See arrow (microwaved water.)

I find myself singing these when I am alone and driving..
“I Stll Miss You Baby But My Aims Gettin’ Better”
“You Are The Reason Our Kids are So Ugly”
“If The Phone Don’t Ring You’ll Know It’s Me’
“If I Shot You When I wanted To I’d Be out By Now”
Yep…really…honest

I am going to change shampoo brands. It is obvious that the manufacturer has changed the formulation. Lately, I have noticed that it is washing the color from my hair.

Today is the shortest daylight period of the year. Which of course means the longest night of the year. A friend recently bought a new pair of hunting boots. He commented that they would last him the rest of his life. I thought about that. As I have mentioned here, I bought a new electric shaver replacing one I bought in 1974. The shaver will last me the rest of my life. I probably will resist the thoughts of what will last me the rest of my life. Tomorrow will have one more minute of daylight and then two more and three more….

My older son is in the information technology business in Virginia. He designs firewalls for Government computer systems to safeguard against hackers. Tonight I couldn’t, for some reason. transmit a really funny E-Mail. My wife is a “techie” too but she couldn’t fix the problem. So I called my son…”the A-team” to fix it. He said he could do it and took over my computer from Virginia. I commented that I had Norton Utilities and firewalls. He said “don’t pay any attention to that”. He fixed it…. kind of scary…..

My cowboy artist buddy Rudl (see Sagebrush Gallery link) told me about an event in his youth. There was a girl in one of his college classes that caught his eye. She finally consented to go out with him. So he took her to a nightclub (beer saloon). While there he could hear coyotes howling on the prairie across the road. He excused himself….went out to his truck and got his coyote call. He shot a coyote and called her outside to look at it to impress her. Laughing…he told me that she left and wouldn’t talk to him after that. I commented…”The hell with her…good riddance “.

Sam’s Club has started their “Sample the Season” promotion. They give samples of holiday food…..turkey, ham, roast beef, fruit salads, pies etc. I am going to check it out this weekend. I may very well take my wife and her mother there Thanksgiving day.

Since I retired my wife occasionally pesters me to get a hobby. I have told her that I do have a hobby and she knows it. She retorts by telling me that she doesn’t consider littering from the car a hobby
