Cybersalt News

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

As mentioned last week, Grandma Cybersalt and I helped greet a newcomer family at the airport last Thursday. They are now halfway through their mandatory 2 week COVID quarantine period. The home they are staying at is situated on a rural property with a garden and a number of fruit trees. The picture in today's news is of some of the bounty they discovered and arranged on the most famous leaf of their new home country - the maple leaf! 

Today's video share is an especially fitting one for Chicken Thursday. I once had an almost out of control fire while barbecuing some chicken, but even then I didn't manage to get it this black!

Sunday greetings everyone!

"Shout out" to Cybersaltine, April H. who sent me an email after last week's digest.

She gave me a good laugh when she shared that it took a while for her to realize that Grandma Cybersalt is actually my wife and not my grandma. Of course, that means I am Grandpa Cybersalt, which I must admit has a very much less quaint ring to it in my head.

April also caught a mistake I made in the Cybersalt news last Sunday. I used "new" instead of "knew" in one of the sentences. She kindly wondered if I was making a play on words. All I can say is, "Kno, April, that was just a typo."

BTW, April was the only person to report that typo so either some of you regular grammarian Cybersalts are beginning to loose your edge, or else you've become so familiar with the frequent droning of my errors you've given up.

Speaking of droning, today's video share is of a singing, ringing tree. It's a piece of musical art which rightfully deserves to be in the middle of nowhere. In all the years I pastored local churches, I don't think I have felt more sorry for sheep having to listen to something!

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

It's an exciting day at Cybersalt World Headquarters. I have a dentist appointment this morning, but that's not why. I also have a chiropractic appointment in the afternoon, but that's also not why. Grandma Cybersalt's new glasses are ready for pickup, but that is still not why. (Lol, doesn't it sounds like we're falling apart?)

No, after all that cleaning, cracking and "bespectacling", we will be heading to the airport to meet a refugee family who are coming to our community 3 years after the sponsorship process began and 8 years after they had to flee their homeland for their lives. I sometimes shed tears when someone is at the airport leaving, but I this might be a time when it happens because someone is arriving! I'll be sure to keep you posted.

Today's video share is part of a standup routine by Tim Hawkins. It had me laughing out loud as I was working a few days ago, so I hope it has the same effect on you.

Sunday greetings everyone!

The exciting news today is that there really isn't any exciting news to share with you today. Grandma Cybersalt and I have comfortably answered September's invitation to return to the routines that summertime chased away. It's one way that vacations help "old" things to become new again (re-newed!)

Today's video share is part of a series put out by Ancestry - the family tree site. As a person who likes people watching (in compliance with the many restraining orders against me, of course), I really enjoy seeing the moment when someone is relieved by realizing something they never new or understood.
