I know this sounds like I have eyes on my forehead, but y'all know what I mean.

If one of our cats collapsed, I doubt if the other would give her CPR .... more likely she'd just plan to eat all the food by herself
Or eat the collapsed cat.

And a large itchy welt appeared, right between my eyes.
Something like a third eye?

Cyclops.

Went to the local pub today to watch England 2 beat Sweden 0. Fun to watch the people at the pub.

Drat. Missed the World Cup games. The wife was in a house cleaning mood and one never challenges that mood.

One has to learn how to stay out of the way while doing a few small chores to make it look like you are actually helping out. Been married almost 42 years and with experience come wisdom.

I do all of the cooking, unload the dishwasher, and take out the trash, but no other household chores unless something needs fixing.
My housework wouldn't meet her expectations, we're both okay with that.

Yeah Bob, pay attention.

I learned this a long time ago, and try to do like George when I hear Mrs. Racer banging around with housework.

Doesn't always work though, and no matter how well I make things look like I am contributing, it never seems to be enough.

If she says anything I tell her she can change the oil in the cars, pickup and tractors, rotate tires, etc. and I will clean house.

That usually shuts her up.

By the way, we were showing our ugly mugs here recently and I just remembered, I had the original of a picture I posted of me in a Mitchell B25 just before takeoff that I Photo-shopped a Racre X head onto.

Here is the original:




Hope it doesn't break any preconceived notions any of you had about me.

It may sound like I'm been a tad lame but I wish Pentax could have been able to keep their identity I know Richo owns them but just keeping Pentax on the start up screen would have been a nice touch no matter who owns Pentax now it will always be Pentax to me the greatest photographic manufacturer that ever existed...end of rant happy Sunday everybody
