A Mixer, Jellyfish, Hillary and The Donald

Moonrise over Half Dome in 2011.
















Early in the trail, there is a spot where you can see both the Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls. Not sure which is which? Well, the Upper Falls in the one on the right that appears at a higher elevation than the Lower Falls on the left.
























As you can see, they recommend that you go to the bathroom in the falls. Or maybe it is a separate place, but you've got a lovely view of the falls while you do your business?
























Today's bad joke from the Bad Jokes and Puns Calendar:
How does an attorney sleep?
First he lies on one side, and then he lies on the other.

Today's dumb saying from the 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said calendar.
The problems move around, and you have to call police, especially when a customer pulls a knife on you. Other than that, this is the nicest place in town.
Lincoln City bar owner Ron Plooijer in The News Times (Newport, Oregon)

Do you like peanut butter? If you buy one of the 'natural' brands, you may have to stir it before you use it. If so, check out this brand, Witmer, that comes with its own attached mixer. I see nine options on their website. But wait. there's more. Apparently, their mixers come in standard sizes so you could use it on other brands.




















Here's a headline I saw today. 'Mexico’s national energy company reckons with low oil prices. Oil titan Pemex will discuss its fourth-quarter results and its plans to cut $5 billion from its 2016 budget.' No, I did not click on the link, but it does bring something to mind. There was an ad shown before movies back in the late 1990s that showed a car crossing the border from Mexico into the US. The driver was happy when he made it into the States. He soon ran out of gas and was walking along with his gas can. People offered him rides, but he kept walking. He crossed back into Mexico and went to a Pemex station to fill the can, demonstrating the superiority of Pemex gas. I thought it was funny. I searched for the ad on youtube, but did not find it to share with you.

Did you watch the Oscars last night. I watched a few minutes at the beginning to see what Chris Rock was going to say. He did indeed do some skewering of the all-white nominations, but he was not too mean spirited. As for the results, Spotlight surprised at the Oscars. It won best picture, beating out The Revenant. Leonardo DiCaprio finally won best actor for his role in that movie, while Brie Larson won best actress for Room. Haven't seen it. Haven't seen it. And haven't seen it.

Have you been itching to hear a medley of songs from The Beatles' Abbey Road done in a R&B style? Well, Booker T. and the MGs have that covered.

No? Well, maybe you want to hear Lime in the Coconut sung by the Muppets? We've got that, too.

I am needing a fix of some defaced public signs. Luckily for both of us, I have some saved up for just such an occasion.




























I also have a photo of a chair that someone requested come with arms.
























Today, since it is Leap Day, you get a special photo-enhanced Clarity of Vision. Well, maybe it's not really that special, but it does feature current presidential candidates.
















Have a great Monday, people.
