Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

Grandma Cybersalt is off to another conference. She is attending The Refugee Highway Partnership: North America, gathering in Winnipeg. As I am not travelling with her this time, my job is to stay home and successfully repeat the science experiment of keeping myself alive for 4 days - 2 of which are full days on my own, lol.

Today's video share is of an instrument built by María Ruíz and Abraham Cupeiro, based on the cornus found at Pompeii in the 19th century.

While waiting in line at the bank, a friend developed a very loud case of hiccups. By the time he reached the teller's window, the hiccups seemed to have worsened. The teller took my friend's check and proceeded to run a computer verification of his account. After a minute she looked up from her terminal with a frown and said that she would be unable to cash his check.

"Why not?" my friend asked incredulously.

"I'm sorry, sir," she replied, "but our computer indicates that you do not have sufficient funds to cover this amount. As a matter of fact," she continued, "our records show your account overdrawn in excess of $5000."

"It CAN'T be!" he cried. "You have GOT to be kidding!"

"Yes, I am," she answered with a big smile, counting out his cash. "But you will notice that your hiccups are gone."

I had my patience tested; I'm negative.

"Be a Billionaire!"

If your plan is for 10 years, plant trees.

If your plan is for 100 years, educate children."

I heard a story years ago which, I hope, will bring a lot of comfort to those who are taunted with the "if you had more faith..." issue.

I was listening to a lady who called a radio pastor. The pastor was a wise, grandfatherly gentleman who has that calm reassuring voice that can melt all fear.

The lady, who was obviously crying, said, "Pastor, I was born blind, and I've been blind all my life. I don't mind being blind but I have some well meaning friends who tell me that if I had more faith I could be healed."

The pastor asked her, "Tell me, do you carry one of those white canes?"

"Yes I do," she replied.

"Then the next time someone says that hit, them over the head with the cane," He said. "Then tell them 'If you had more faith that wouldn't hurt!'"

- photo by Susan PageWarm sunlight caresses a pathway of gold
The beauty of Autumn with colours so bold
The hues of the sumac, the crimson and brown
Each leaf like a whisper falls soft to the ground

The Fall is alluring and yet it won’t last
The salmon are spawning, the shadow is cast
The birds sing their warning and wing their way south
The squirrels are stuffing their bellies and mouth

It’s time for warm sweaters and firm hiking shoes
Go map out a trail there’s no time to lose
The long days are waning and summer’s no more
Each season still blesses with more to explore
