These Are NOT Leftovers

Last week, I shared one of the photos from my calendar of the Yankee Girl Mine headframe. Here is one of my own shots from almost the same direction.

And now, let's look at a few additional shots from my 2014 office calendar. First up is the locomotive from the Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge line. If you have never taken that ride, you should.

Next is a shot of Mt. Abrams from north of Ouray. This is very similar to the view we have from the cabin in Whispering Pines.

And last is a view I have never seen of Box Canyon falls. I have never gone up there in the winter. I would like to see the ice climbing and this view, though. I would not want to get iced or snowed in.

And next, today's Clarity of Vision which was actually created for last Thursday, but I was out sick. So, I changed the date and am sharing it now (do NOT consider this leftovers. We'll get plenty of those on Thanksgiving).

The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and tells whether you are qualified to be a “manager.” The questions are not that difficult.

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe and close the door.
This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.
2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
Wrong Answer: Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant and close the refrigerator.
Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your actions.
3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference, all the animals attend except one. Which animal does not attend?
Correct Answer: The Elephant. The Elephant is in the refrigerator.
This tests your memory. Okay, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your abilities.
4. There is a river you must cross. But it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it?
Correct Answer: You swim across. All the Crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting!
This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

According to Andersen Consulting, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong. But many little pre-schoolers got several correct answers. Andersen Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most management consultants have the brains of a four year old.

Maybe that quiz reminds you that you are ready to pursue becoming a manager? What if you could choose from thousand of classes that are only 45 seconds long? Enrolling is easy because they already have your credit card info. Curious? Watch this video for For-Profit Online University.

Do you have your own personal list of the Top 10 albums from the 60s and 70s? Huffington Post does, and you can see them here. I only owned 4 of them myself.

SS, I have found a race that you might consider participating in. It involves KK and 6K.

Want to use Wi-Fi in your next flight? Read the fine print. This dude was charged over $1,100 for his 5-hour flight.

While these may not be leftovers, I think you MUST be full by now. I will save some stuff for tomorrow. Have a Marvelous Monday.
