THROWING THE DOOR OPEN TO READER'S QUESTIONS

 A HONEY BEE IN OUR BACK YARD THIS AFTERNOON
In the sidebar on my blog's 'Shout Box' I noticed a question from blog reader Carin a couple of days ago about my thoughts on the TV series, The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch  I have posted about this before several times, but will say again, this is the one and only TV show that I look forward to watching in the Fall over these past five years.  I find the show credible, exciting, and equally mysterious.  The subject matter is fascinating and may be only the tiniest minuscule tip of the Universe's secrets.  For me, it's a must-watch show viewed with an open mind and two words,  'What If'.  Will they ever find out what's in that Mesa related to all the strange happenings on that entire ranch?  Who knows.  Will it involve the U.S. Government, Alien technology, or other Dimensions??  Maybe some things are best left undiscovered, but, in this case, I don't think so.  Two thumbs up for 'The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch':))

 YES, TIS A COZY BACK YARD WE HAVE

I also remember another question from a reader a while ago about 'where do I get all the material for Al's Doggy World, Meanings, and Al's Art Gallery??  One word, 'Facebook'.  Example...if you see a cute dog picture on Facebook and you click on it, Facebook will then start sending you more doggy pictures.  I have created a few new files where I put all these pictures in.  Example...I have a file called 'Paintings' and that is where I put all the Facebook pics for 'Al's Art Gallery'. 'Toons' is the file for cartoons and humorous sayings.  'Doggies' is the file for dogs, and 'Meanings::' is where I put all the various sayings that Facebook sends me.  'Kelly & Pheebs Corner of course comes from my own photo files.  So, there you have it.  Sometimes, people ask about what kind of camera I use.  My main everyday camera is a Sony RX10 IV and my backup camera is a Nikon Coolpix P900  I also carry with me at times a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX90V small compact camera.  I will add...all three of these cameras are a direct result of an anonymous donor somewhere in the United States:))  Okay, so while I'm on the subject of questions and answers, and because I have forgotten to answer so many questions from readers over the years, I am going to take a chance here and throw open the door to readers' questions while I am momentarily out of this annoying short-term memory fog of mine.  Oh dear, now I've gone and done it.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( After the Great Britain Beer Festival, in London, all the Presidents of the brewreys decide to go to the pub for a drink. The coors President said "Can I have the only beer made with Rocky Mountain Spring Water: a Coors, please." The bartender gave him the drink. Then the Budweiser President orders, "The King Of Beers -- Budweiser." The bartender proceeds with the order. The Amstel President walks in and orders "The Finest Beer ever." The bartender gives him an Amstel. Then the Guinness President says, "I'll have a coke please." The bartender is taken aback by this but gives the coke to him anyway. All the Presidents looked over at him and said, "Why have you ordered a coke?" He replied, "Well if you all aren't drinking real beer, then neither shall I."

Husband: "I want to tattoo your name on me. What do you think, shall I do it on my arm or neck?" Wife: "How about on your will?"

“Look, Charlie,” the coach said, “you know the principles of good sportsmanship. You know the Little League doesn’t allow temper tantrums, shouting at the umpire, or abusive language.” “Yes sir, I understand.” “Good, Charlie. Now, would you explain that to your father?”

I worry about the germs in the holes of bowling balls. Nobody cleans those holes. There are years of impacted pizza fingers in there. Taco fingers. Chicken fingers. I'm amazed those balls still have holes. Ever smell a bowling ball? You think the balls are knocking down the pins? You're wrong. The pins are passing out from the smell.

  2. You are to be congratulated on being so proficient in creating your blog. You have learned so much on your own regarding the computer, phones and cameras. Your posts are an assorted collection of 'things' which keeps it interesting. It's so complex that I understand when you need some time off. Thank you!

  3. Alright, so when you were reading Dorothy Cannon's books the only thing I was left with (not the desire to go read them all) was this question: Dorothy said they had tried this two(?) times before. What was she talking about? Sorry, that was a long time and many books ago. Hope you can remember enough to know what I'm asking.

    1. And a follow up. It's a long shot. Do you remember which book that was mentioned in?
