Lot's of salad bowls and pepper mills in that pile :D might some serious heat as well :eek:

As I've mentioned, the tree was dead. But, speaking of salad bowls... going through the wood the last few days, I saw some really beautiful sights. Every time I cut through something, I was like; "Phinds! OMG!"

I built a project using gnarly old dead Mesquite limbs. It is close to the street, and spans from one living tree to another. It is actually very sturdy considering that there are no fence posts in the ground ; they only touch the ground. Have I discovered a new art form or are my neighbors right about my being nutz? I could put some solar lights on it.

Edit; Opps I forgot I call it the unfence.

My sister misidentified my solar powered snowflake on the top of my fake Christmas tree as a star.

View attachment 76843

The thought of a solar powered star, struck me as funny.

If the light stays white it is a snowflake. If it is one of the solar lights that changes colors it is a star.

Rotten excuse of the day:

The accident was not my fault officer. I had been drinking heavily and failed to notice that I was driving far to fast to control my vehicle.

First Latin term that makes sense and I understand : Overweight = Ipso Fatso.

EDIT: It sucks when someone thinks up the joke before you, apparently the term
already exists.

Who knew Isaac Newton's birthday would be so controversial or misunderstood.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson Responds to Critics of His Controversial Christmas Statements
https://tv.yahoo.com/news/neil-degr...roversial-christmas-statements-183259749.html

Neil deGrasse Tyson’s Birthday Message to Sir Isaac Newton Makes Big Bang on Twitter
http://time.com/3647786/neil-degrasse-tyson-sir-isaac-Newton-twitter/

Tyson's tweet - "On this day long ago, a child was born who, by age 30, would transform the world. Happy Birthday Isaac Newton b. Dec 25, 1642"

I'm not sure how this is controversial. Dec. 25 is the anniversary of Isaac Newton's birthday!

It's not. Just because someone has religious views doesn't make him a non-science promoter. Just sayin'.
Isaac Newton (25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727)[1] was, as considered by others within his own lifetime, an insightful and erudite theologian.[2][3][4] He wrote many works that would now be classified as occult studies and religious tracts dealing with the literal interpretation of the Bible.[5]

Your eyes tells a thousand thousand stories
Within its depth the books of ravage decades
But despite all calamities
It narrates the beauty and its exciting wonders
