VILLAGES, final

Okay, this wraps up my collection of villages.  The third one is really cool.

 

 

 

Humor --

Q.  Which area of Palestine was especially wealthy? 
A.  The area around Jordan. The banks were always
       overflowing.

Q.  Who is the greatest baby-sitter mentioned in the

P.S.  Did you know it's a sin for a woman to make
        coffee?
        Yup, it's in the Bible. It says. “He-brews.”

ARCHITECTS and BUILDERS, URAGUAY

These photos are by Daniel Carajal.  He says, "In Uruguay we used to see Horneros’ nests everywhere, this peculiarity nest was built on a window in the building where I live. Having the nest "there" I accumulated over 600 photos.

It all started for curiosity and I was fortunate to witness it every day. After seeing the photos my family and friends were very surprised.

I thought it would be good to put the photos online to share with you, mainly those of you who care about the environment, so here they are, I hope you like it.

I am not a photographer. The nest was built between late September and 30 November. They work from 8 to 10 hours a day but they didn’t work Sundays!"

VILLAGES

They come in all sizes and shapes --

 

Fun --

I take a news magazine that each week has a contest.  Last week this was the contest:
NASA is seeking chefs to whip up tasty meals from space-appropriate packaged supplies for a simulated mission to Mars.  Contestants were asked to give one of these out-of-this-world dishes a name.

Third place winner:  Alan Shepard Pie

Second place winner:  Kentucky Dried Chicken

First place winner: Veal Armstrong

Number 2 is my favorite.  What’s yours?

VARIOUS ANIMALS

Pretty, cute, unusual -- you pick your favorite adjective --

Waiting for my taxi -- going to the airport, and fly south.

 If someone would turn on the water, we could float right out of here.

Save some for me

Glup, glup, gulp

I’m hiding

I wanna go, too

Tickle, tickle

 I’m a pet, not a future meal

My baby

Other fun --

And if you think those are cute, or pretty or ...
try this one --

That young lady is Laura, Director of activities at Avenidas.  She thought this would make a colorful picture.

UNUSUAL PHOTOS

Some of these are beautiful; some unusual, and for some I was inspired to write a comment --

 

Looks like something out of Star Wars

 Well, it keeps the door-to-door salesmen away

 Bad hair day
