Meet Missy



Missy, the new member of our family. She's my daughter's cat and would only be staying with us temporarily... yeah, right.

There must be a giant lollipop on my front lawn... SUCKER!

:)

Anyway, the photo looked better on my phone and this one is the best of the lot; the rest were a blur. Capturing a photo of such a young kitten is like nailing jello to a tree. Well, at least I'm going to need a better camera.

What Were They Thinking?



From Business Insider comes an article that makes my mind reel:

The US Agency Plundered By Chinese Hackers Made One Of The Dumbest Security Moves Possible

"Contractors in Argentina and China were given "direct access to every row of data in every database" when they were hired by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to manage the personnel records of more than 14 million federal employees, a federal consultant told ArsTechnica."

A simple head-slap moment or insidiousness on a scale which we've never before seen?

My choice isn't the V-8 moment one.

Science Schmuck Cat Blog Friday



This Nobel Prize winning scientist finds women in the science world distracting...

The Non-apology Of The Year Award Goes To Nobel Scientist Who Thinks Women Just Cry All The Time

Dude, I find your nostril hairs distracting-- what is that a special look you're cultivating? Wild eyebrows aren't enough?

I can't take it anymore ... I'm going to have a good cry.

;)

BTW I think they're handing out Nobel prizes too easily. Bet you didn't know that my cat,
Shoshin, has one, too.

Frappo-Crappo



First of all, I don't believe in shaming people for their personal behavior, because if you are hell bent on putting this excessive amount of sugar in your body, then have at it.

Me, I've never had Starbuck's coffee. I'm happy with Folgers, a little milk or cream if you've got it, and NO sugar.

I'm not going to judge... how do you like your coffee.?

Who cares?



Pardon my French, my blog is usually G-rated...

But Bruce, you have managed to out K the K clan.

Does the fact that I don't care about your life make me a bad person?

I don't think so.

Just go away, please.

Dance For Me!



Dance like no one is watching... but wait, no one is watching.

Why would you not stand and watch this cow's outstanding moves?

I find this cow's cavorting uplifting in a weird, twisted way.

Throw Back Thursday



I first posted this in 2013:


This is the latest crop of grapes from our grape vines...

It reminds me of an old joke:

A duck walks into a bar and asks, "Got grapes?"

The bartender, confused, tells the ducks that no, his bar doesn't serve grapes. The duck thanks him and leaves.

The next day, the duck returns and asks, "Got grapes?"

Again, the bartender tells him that, no, the bar does not serve grapes, has never served grapes, and, furthermore, will never serve grapes. The duck, a little ruffled, thanks him and leaves.

The next day, the duck returns, but before he can say anything, the bartender begins to yell: "Listen, duck! This is a bar! We do not serve grapes! If you ever ask for grapes again, I will nail your stupid duck beak to the bar!"

The duck looks at the bartender and asks, "Got nails?"

Surprised, the bartender says, “No, we don’t have any nails.”

“Good," the duck says, "Got grapes?”

It's an oldie but a goody.

*

Our crop this year has yielded very few grapes. Luckily we only use the grape leaves and not the grapes.

Photographer Frank Glick just happened to snap this photo of an eagle at Fort Snelling National Cemetary. The rest of the story is heartwarming...

Weekend Warning



As the long holiday weekend approaches, be warned about the dangers of driving and drinking, but did you know that deriving complex calculus problems while driving is even more dangerous than texting while driving?

Yikes!

Leave the calculus book at home this weekend and stay safe.

Beware, it will make eye contact with you and it's creepy when it does.

Expand the screen at your peril.

Hillary Skates



In this American Thinker article, Daniel John Sobieski asks whether we hold NFL quarterbacks to higher standards than presidential contenders...

Brady Deflates, Hillary Skates

Sobieski writes, "We should all be asking ourselves just why there is more concern and angst over Tom Brady’s use of slightly deflated footballs to get a better grip and improve his chances of winning a football game than regarding Hillary Clinton’s use of private email accounts on a private server and her deleting of 30,000 emails to improve her chances of winning the White House in 2016."

Let's not forget that Brady didn't bring us the horrendous events in Benghazi, or lies about undergoing sniper fire in Bosnia, or the acceptance of millions of dollars from donors (foreign and native) in exchange for favors.

Hillary hasn't answered a single question since April 21st... and the media is fine with that.

Chic Owl



Isn't this owl the cutest little thing?

And patient, too.

Blue Sunset



The Curiosity Mars rover's Mastcam high-resolution, color camera captured the setting sun on the Red Planet.

This Is What Sunset Looks Like On Mars

Of course, this brings up the Martian Sunset Debate... when you look at the Mars sunset, is that blue or do you see gold or black?

;)

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
