While in the service I was attending a lecture by an officer. I was resting my eyes for awhile. The officer called out my name and asked "What did I just say?" So I told him. He was pissed. But he learned that we listen with our ears.

I happened to see many similar church signs this morning during wake-up-with-YouTime time. CC did a fine job with curating.

Thanks, Rick. That is the nicest thing you've ever said to me...or am I just gullible. After thinking for a moment, I'd say you are being sarcastic...may He strike you from above.

No, by mentioning curation I'm not saying you belong in a museum.

A have curated antique collections for meself; clocks, dolls, quilts, and a variety of globes in many sizes and colors, but not shapes...I'm still looking for a square globe.
I've gotten rid of some collections. Hubby was glad when he finally didn't have to look at the old dolls any more with their scary eyeballs.

No Chris. There is no alcohol. Look at the name. With Popes it has to be wholly water.

 

[Bristle Boy]

No Alcohol and wholly water????
This sounds what is served at our local Pub.
The locals call it "Near Beer"

 

[Camino Chrissy]

You are correct! It's clear as a bell...don't know how I missed "seeing" it.

Edit- The two Popes(or is it four) turn Holy wholly water into wine...or should the correct grammar be wholly Holy water?

Good thing there’s an Atlantic Ocean between your electrical installations and mine! (But hey!

Did you hear about the bear who became a christian.

I’ll tell it.

Once upon a time a hiker was hiking in the woods. He saw a bear blocking his path. Hiker fell to his knees begging to make bear a christian.

Hiker finished his prayer and stood.

Then, the bear kneeled and thanked his new found god for lunch.

While we are "loosely" on the subject of dogs, I saw this unusual, adorble very small dog on my flight home from Sedona, then a few days later while shopping so I asked to take pictures. It was a miniature longhair calico daschund dog. Awww, so cute!

Bears get their beer other ways (and they are choosy).

When state Fish and Wildlife agents recently found a black bear passed out on the lawn of Baker Lake Resort, there were some clues scattered nearby — dozens of empty cans of Rainier Beer.

The bear apparently got into campers’ coolers and used his claws and teeth to puncture the cans. And not just any cans.

“He drank the Rainier and wouldn’t drink the Busch beer,” said Lisa Broxson, bookkeeper at the campground and cabins resort east of Mount Baker.

Fish and Wildlife enforcement Sgt. Bill Heinck said the bear did try one can of Busch, but ignored the rest. The beast then consumed about 36 cans of Rainier.

A wildlife agent tried to chase the bear from the campground but the animal just climbed a tree to sleep it off for another four hours. Agents finally herded the bear away, but it returned the next morning.

Agents then used a large, humane trap to capture it for relocation, baiting the trap with the usual: doughnuts, honey and, in this case, two open cans of Rainier.

That did the trick.

“This is a new one on me,” Heinck said. “I’ve known them to get into cans, but nothing like this. And it definitely had a preference.”

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Well, beggars can't be choosers...bears don't beg.

Not mine. Search for bears begging.

They were looking for their mom.

The begging cubs were a divergence. Mom was opening up the back and stealing the beer. (Okay, we're both right.)

Peg and I were backpacking in Yosemite. The rental car was in a parking lot. All food and coolers had to be stored outside the car in special lockers. We got back in the morning, get our stuff and leave for another park. After setting up the tent I sat at the picnic table. I noticed something strange on the car door that wasn't there in the morning. An investigation showed something that wasn't there in the morning. The print of a bear's paw. The car was inspected by a bear early that morning and the moisture left by the paw collected dust on our trip. We left it as it was and used it as a conversation starter up to and including our return of the rental. Same trip that a bear walked by our tent at night earlier in the Yosemite backcountry.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Not mine.

I was just teasing!

All food and coolers had to be stored outside the car in special lockers.

My son started the JMT in Yosemite and backpackers were required to purchase or rent a bear canister. His car was parked for the duration of his hike and like you, no food could be left inside. In the past people who stored food in their trunk(boot) had bears break car windows to gain access and ripped out the back of the seats to get to the food.
