Really???

I just read this morning that the most shop-lifted book in America is the King James Bible

Folding the Box

Remember taking IQ tests with questions where you had a picture of an unfolded box and had to predict what it would look like when put together?

As brilliant as my darling wife is, she absolutely can not visualize what a two dimensional figure will look like in three dimensions.  Considering that, she is remarkably adept at jig-saw puzzles.  I mention that because without her help and guidance, I would never have been able to complete the walkway we put in last week.

The stones are designed to interlock, and it would seem to be pretty simple.  Trust me, it isn't.  The first couple are easy, but it gets more difficult as you go.  You would think that once you got a pattern established it would get easier, but for me, it did not.  Honey could see where to place the next stone, while I was forced to a trial and error approach.

(By the way, the correct answer on the puzzle is A.)

Once in a While

It is amazing how easily once daily becomes once in a while.  
I haven't posted anything since Friday, and almost skipped today.
It wasn't because I didn't have anything to say - I can always find something to post, even if it isn't original.
For example, here's a post with something extra - 

Does A Bear -----

Tinker's Bonnet

First of all, that isn't Tinker, and the spider in the picture is fake.  But - it looks a lot like our intrepid hunter when she came in the house last night!
I told you a week ago about her stealing spiders from wasps.  Well, she also  hunts them herself, and yesterday evening she caught one - sorta - dug it out from the crease between two slabs of our new grass.
I thought she had eaten it already, but she did not want to come in the house when I called her, and she kept searching the spot where she had caught it.  You could tell that she didn't want to, but she finally came in after I called her about a dozen times.
When she came in the door, I looked down to see the elusive spider perched on the top of her head like a kind of arachnid beret!  
The legs stretched from ear to ear, and it wasn't going anywhere.
I reached down and brushed it off, and the race was on.  Tinker chased it all around the utility room, but she finally caught it again and this time she ate it before it could get away.

Tony Jackson

For my money, Tony Jackson may be the best black country singer since Charley Pride.  Never mind Darius Rucker, I'm talking pure old-fashioned country.
His first album featured a lot of covers of classic country hits, but also a couple of songs that he wrote himself, like this one - 

Boycott

Lots of threats on social media about National Anthem protests and boycotting the NFL.  
Not sure how well that would work here - this weekend's Texans pre-season game featured ads to get on the waiting list for 2019 season tickets.
