Just install some motion detector switches. Then you don’t need to worry about turning them off.

Reminds me of an old Mad magazine comic strip. A guy with a big bushy mustache is sitting at a table. He picks up a can of mustache wax, smears it on, and twists it into a nice handle bar. It suddenly goes BOING! And reverts to being bushy. He repeats with more wax. Still goes back to bushy. Last panel he is trimming…

Be advised. Ladies. If you have had a divorce or two, you will need all of your marriage licenses and divorce papers. You have to prove how your name got from your birth name to your current name. It took us a couple of weeks of calling county court houses in the western states to find my wife’s first marriage…

Make a sheet out of 5 or 6 strips for duck tape. Put a glob of peanut butter in the center of the sticky side. Place it in the area with the camel crickets, sticky side up.  Smash the stuck ones every day or two. Replace the sheet as needed. You can never totally get rid of the little guys. Just control their numbers.

Best thing we have found for killing wasps? Engine starting fluid. Kills them instantly. Does not leave a poison residue.

Several years ago, we heard a terrible screeching cry out our front door. Ran outside to investigate, and found a little fledgling Downy woodpecker with a toe caught in the strap around a downspout. We got him loose easily. He held onto my shirt for a minute or so, then flew over to the tree next door. Followed by its…

Is anybody else here old enough to remember this guy?

You mean this one? It is just a simple double exposure.

Long ago, we had a rather plump cocker spaniel. She would eat anything. If she was quietly sleeping on the floor and suddenly jumped up, went to the other side of the room and plopped back down... you better open a window or go somewhere else for a bit.

Ignorance?! I started working in my professional photographer father’s darkroom when I was 14 (that would have been 1966) When he retired, I had a b&w darkroom service for most of the photographers in our city. Did that until digital photography killed it. I’ve been working with PS and LR from the first year they came…

How to tell if a photo has been manipulated? Has it been published in the last 10 years? Than it has been manipulated.

Day lilies buds are great! Steamed, they taste just like asparagus. And without the aspara-pee after affect.

The gas at Costco is the same gas as from every other place in your area. It all comes out of the same pipeline. 

No, it won't last a year. There will be hundreds of people around that will steal every edible thing before you get to eat it.

Plant these.

I would say the biggest thing bringing down a homes value is the neighbors next door with 6 dead cars in the front yard, and 4 pitbulls in the back yard.

So, it is theoretically possible to be hit by the remains of a falling poop can, instead of a falling toilet seat.

The fire bit my brother in law built is amazing. He used the round end of a crashed semi tanker. Has a big arm with a hook to swing cooking pots out into the center.

It’s the little House Sparrow’s around here that do that. I’ve even seen them jump up behind the grill, to get to the radiator.

Sucker punched by someone? Heck yes, it hurts.
