A New Set of Wheels

I found this article on an English news site that I'd like to share. "It was like fitting her with a turbo charger - she's going double the speed she used to," said owner Jude Ryder. "She uses her back legs to push herself along. She seems quite happy, but it's difficult to tell with a tortoise." "A 90-year-old tortoise..." The animal, called Mrs T, was facing a grim future after a rat chewed off her two front legs while she was hibernating, but her owners glued the wheels from a model aircraft onto her shell."

Some Images from the PrincipeTito Blog

Here is the link:  PríncipeTito Blog The Portuguese site PrincipeTito has some great images.  Sometimes the images can be sexist but the images without the women are safe.  I'm sure some of the photos must be altered. I added some comments to the images.   ? This would work well for vacuum cleaners. This man is fearless. He was even fearless as a child. A future electric cargo truck, but where is the cargo carried?   Maybe it's next to the driver's seat? Here's something I can use.  I can't use chopsticks.   Maybe it's because of clumsiness or not enough practice. If I remove the spring from a clothes pin  and attach it to a pair of chopsticks it just might work.

First Snow 2016

Some icicles reached all the way down to the ground. We are still unable to leave the house after 3 days.  We're on the list to be dug out but it's going to take longer than expected. I took the photos through the screen door so they are less sharp.  I edited them to try improving the image. The day before the snow fell. The morning of the snow storm just before it came down.

Fibonacci

I looked into more details about the Fibonacci number sequence after watching a TV series by a man who calls himself The Human Calculator. I knew about this before but I wanted to take another look. This was an interesting way to pass the time stuck at home during Snowstorm Jonas. Even DNA has a connection to this number sequence! Some people even claim it is God's "fingerprint". Here's the link for more examples of the Fibonacci number in nature: 15 Uncanny Examples of the Golden Ratio in Nature

Is This How You Get Organized?

Here's a way to get organized that I found on the web a few days ago. I've done well if I put what I use back in its own place instead of at random. I'm not too bad with this one even though I still manage to misplace things. This all seems too fussy for me.  I hate organizing my clothes. No comment.

Strange Book Covers!

Special Ingredient? Is this how the special ingredient is created? I just noticed the word "yum" on the right bottom side of the cover! I'm sure it's much better than a vibrator. Wishful Thinking Okay I guess but I'm not into it. This must save a lot of money. I like the bottom title about being buried in their work. This is truly bad. Comments on some covers from a TV show:

Am I Organized or Do I Have an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?

Do I have a mild case of OCD obsessive compulsive disorder? I have the Google Calendar application, a weekly schedule, a fitness log and even a paper calendar.  Now I'm setting up the Wunderlist to-do list program.  I like the name.  It sound like Wonder List, something wonderful. One problem is to make sure I don't get duplicate reminders from all of these applications. I set the the Google Calendar to send me emails when something is due, like doctor appointments. The Wunderlist can do the same thing. I had to make sure that I did not get email reminders from both the Google Calendar and Wunderlist.  Otherwise it would make things cluttered and difficult to follow. Finally, I can check my paper calendar to see what's coming up.  I print it each month from the Google online calendar so it has the same reminders but I can check it on my desk without turning on my PC. My fitness log keeps me motivated.  I check off each exercise when it's due during the week.
