I think I have discovered why I see images I want to use and then later can't find them. The reason is that I often see them first on my iPhone, which means that Safari is showing them to me. When I sit down in front of my desktop (yes, I'm a dinosaur) it's not Safari any more, it's Google or DuckDuckGo or something else.
Could that be the reason or am I wrong?
That reminds me of this old unfunny feminist joke: If a man says something in a forest and there is no one there to hear him, is he still wrong?
I am trying to decide whether I meant the joke was unfunny or the feminist was unfunny.
Moving right along....
If the first three months of 2020 are indicative of the rest of the year, I am going to have a phenomenal increase in number of posts this year.
I better not count my chickens before they are hatched.
I'm rambling.
Hey, that reminds me of another song with a girl's name in the title that no one mentioned the other day: "Ramblin' Rose" by Nat King Cole! Here it is:
"Ramblin' Rose"
Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose
Why you ramble, no one knows
Wild and wind-blown, that's how you've grown
Who can cling to a ramblin' rose?
Ramble on, ramble on
When your ramblin' days are gone
Who will love you with a love true
When your ramblin' days are gone?
Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose
Why I want you, heaven knows
Though I love you with a love true
Who can cling to a ramblin' rose?
How many Roses have you ever known or even heard of? Let's see, there's Rose Kennedy (the President's mother) and Rose Nyland (played by Betty White on The Golden Girls) and...and...I can't think of any others. Does Gypsy Rose Lee count?
I worked at IBM with a Rose whose last name I don't remember. Two things she used to say, though, I do remember: "I don't get mad, I get even" and also "I get all jervous and nerky."
If she got all jervous and nerky back then, I wonder how she is doing in today's uncertain world?
I just realized her name wasn't Rose, it was Marion. I remember her last name too, but I'm not going to put it here.
No way, José, because if she reads it, she won't get mad, she'll get even.
I just reminded myself of another song with a boy's name, not in the title, but in the first line. The Star-Spangled Banner.
José, can you see by the dawn's early light, etc.
I make myself laugh even if no one else does.
I suppose that's enough jocularity for today.
Until next time, watch this (2:52).
Hello, world! This blog began on September 28, 2007, and so far nobody has come looking for me with tar and feathers.
On my honor, I will do my best not to bore you. All comments are welcome
as long as your discourse is civil and your language is not blue.
Happy reading, and come back often!
And whether my cup is half full or half empty, fill my cup, Lord.

<b> Don’t blame me, I saw it on Facebook</b>
...and I didn't laugh out loud but my eyes twinkled and I smiled for a long time; it was the sort of low-key humor ( British, humour) I...
