No "Moon River", no "Chicken Dance"? I like "Hey Ya!" a lot, probably the best (hip hop?) tune ever, but can't think of any wedding I've been to where it was played.

Yikes! That's what I call a gator.

Owls are cool, but they are also predators. One attacked a bald eagle nest here and severely injured a young bird.

Remembering the Las Vegas act with the tigers that turned bad. They are not domesticated animals.

Can't remember the artist, maybe Homer Winslow? The painting of a man on a small wrecked boat with sharks swimming around always haunted me.

I remember reading somewhere that pollen grains from flowers were found with ancient "cave man" remains, hinting that they placed flowers with the dead. So the practice could pre-date the Greeks.

As I was scrolling to the photo, my first thought was Key West. Good observation.

Why, it's Reputa the Beauta. Apologies to the J.Geil's Band.

I'm a fan. I stopped in Mt.Airy once, playing tourist, and have a photo taken at the statue there of Andy and Opie. For real trivia, if anyone reveals the identity of Mr. Schwump they will get a medal of commendation with oak leave cluster.

Didn't old Doc Brown have something like that in Back to the Future?

MrsO tells me how some communities along the St. Lawrence River were moved when the Seaway was constructed.

Must have been something for those guys to fit into their old uniforms. I'm sure I couldn't get into my early 1960's US Army issues.

I hope this works, especially for those who have the ugly tats all over their arms. Still never saw a woman with one that made her look prettier. Maybe that's hat they wanted? Yes, I have one, my nic here on my upper left arm where all my short sleeve shirts hide it. Not one of my better moments.

Um, if you'll excuse me, I recall doing my sit ups in college football and the US Army with my legs flat out straight. OK, it's still impressive.

Candles on cakes reminds me of my Dad's last birthday. He was in a nursing facility and we brought him his favorite 3 layer cake. MrsO put candles on it and we lit them. Wow I thought, as I saw how brightly the candles were burning. Then it turned to OMG---we forgot Dad has oxygen on and quickly extinguished them.
