I'm not Falling for that old Trick.

It's an odd way to Tipperary.

You've heard of elephant graveyards, no doubt. Tanks have graveyards too, and they're just as mysterious. Here, courtesy of the English Russia blog, is a picture of a tank graveyard, complete with the scary skeleton of a tank. Imagine hanging one of these skeletons in your window on Halloween! No trendy vampires or Freddy types could compete!

Anyway, for those of you who don't like to be reminded of war, here's a photo of some cute birds.

Speaking of chocolate, here's an unusual chocolate pudding in a most unusual container. Make chocolate, not war!

No worries.

The Melodic Cry of the Lovelorn Haggis

If you go out into the woods today and hear this haunting cry, don't assume it's Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald.

Their version is 'When I'm calling you....'
Haggises are more decisive--"I am calling you" indicates a commanding, haggis-like presence.
"When" hints at a more tentative animal, perhaps a rutabaga.

Speaking of chocolate, here, from Cabosse Chocolates, is a white chocolate goose, which, apparently, is stuffed with other kinds of chocolate.

It's raining today. Tech support people are testing the fire alarms in our condo building--once every five minutes.

Here is a very large Howitzer.
If fall is here, can spring be far behind?
No worries.
