Count the Reasons

Good Afternoon & Happy Saturday,

You have to count the reasons why you do, WHATEVER it is you want to do.

Today is Saturday 02/02/V3.3 & it is fresh cookies day/pushing a car day.

Well it started off r-o-u-g-h & then & then & then.

  • Went to Brandon’s & had some pizza
  • Went to the Creighton University Bluejays vs Bradley University Braves
  • NOW I’m at home & about to take a nap.

I’m suppose to take Spinach Dip to work tomorrow. BUT uh I’m not really feeling it. I make promises though & must follow though.

The word of the day is boustrophedor which is an ancient method of writing in which the lines run alternately from right to left and from left to right. 

Well that’s it, be sure to visit Photographs by Vernon J for shots from today’s game.

Quotes from the World for Saturday 02/02/MMXIII

Actually if a writer needs a dictionary he should not write. He should have read the dictionary at least three times from beginning to end and then have loaned it to someone who needs it. There are only certain words which are valid and similies (bring me my dictionary) are like defective ammunition (the lowest thing I can think of at this time).

Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961), U.S. author. Letter, March 20, 1953, to the critic Bernard Berenson. Selected Letters, ed. Carlos Baker (1981).

Hemingway’s spelling, as shown in his letters, was appalling.

What’s missing

Good Morning & Happy Tuesday,

So there’s this sign at 40th & Farnam St.

It indicates in nouncertain terms that there is ‘No Turn On Red’.

Can you see that? Cause I always saw it when I was driving at that corner.

Oh that’s right ‘little lady’ you were talking on the phone.

Excuse me while I stand in front of your car & inform yyou of the law you broke. Oh you’re mad? I DON’T CARE!

Quotes from the World for Friday 02/01/MMXIII

Poetry, whose material is language, is perhaps the most human and least worldly of the arts, the one in which the end product remains closest to the thought that inspired it…. Of all things of thought, poetry is the closest to thought, and a poem is less a thing than any other work of art …

Hannah Arendt
Hannah Arendt (1906–1975), U.S. philosopher. The Human Condition, ch. 23 (1958).

This is BREAKFAST

Good Morning & Happy FNP!

I left home before breakfast & you know I get grouchy when that happens.

Today is Friday 02/01/V3.3 & it is Chicken Cordon Bleu Day.

I had to go to Security National Bank to sign a signature card for the Joslyn Castle Neighborhood Association.

I went to the store & got 3.78 liters of Robert’s Dairy 2% milk. Wolhner’s Grocery had some, yeah!!! I got me some Chicken Cordon Bleu, potatoes for smashing for linner tonight.

The word of the day is atavistic which is suggesting the characteristics of a remote ancestor or primitive type.

Congrats to Maureen & one other person on this list might become friends with Vernon J on facebook. Friend Request I deleted someone who speak non-english posts. I speak English so of course there was NO REASON for us to be friends. I don’t want to say that I’ll be deleting upwards of four additional people. BUT I could!!!

Speaking of dumb things, 1/2 of the car thefts are when ‘not so smart’ people like Anne Dyke leave their cars running with the keys in them. Can you please NOT be stupid. I’m aware that common sense isn’t available to a percentage of the population due to the Arsenic levels in the air. Okay, I may have just made that up. BUT it used to be used as a wood preservative.

The Atomic Weight of Arsenic is 74.92160 & the symbol is AS. Atomic Weight is the ratio of average mass of atoms of an element to 1/12 of the mass of an atom of carbon-12. IF you didn’t know that, (like me) you are learning things on The Official Blog of Vernon J.

You’re Welcome!

Well I hope you make it a good day.

Vernon J out!
