Tuesday Tidbits

1.  My mantra to me and to you is to always take your camera with you.  There are lots of thing out there worth snapping.  Besides, you just never know when something will be there begging to be preserved.  Of course, now that there are cameras in every phone and Lord knows we can't ever be without them, the likelihood is that all of you are prepared always to take that next picture that is a keeper for whatever reason.  I was walking the compound here at Shawshank, and while these are certainly not earthshaking, they are nice pics, nevertheless, of the sky.   

2.   Norah was feasting on a Dum-Dum the other day.  You know, those things they hand out for kids at various places; the thing you buy for kids when you are too cheap to get a real decent lollipop like a Tootsie Pop. 

 I asked her what flavor she had picked.  She just kept on licking, but I was curious.  Turned out it was a derivation of ingredients we used to have in some of our food at school provided by the Saga Food Service.    

3.  Looks like my painting days are over here at Bedlam.  They don't allow patients to possess sharp objects, thus my brushes have been confiscated.  Fingerpainting, however, is encouraged.  I'm not sure what I can rig up, but surely there is someway to continue my abuse of canvas.  

4.  What's this I hear?  A superhero retiring?  Next thing you know Thor will be turned into a girl!  Or that comic book character Archie will die taking a bullet for his gay friend!  (Both true, according to the news.)

The intrepid staff of Existing In BFE has heard from almost-anonymous sources that Aquaman, aka, mild-mannered water superintendent of a small Midwestern town,  Mark, "The Wombie" Blythe will be retiring from the city of Aledo in November.
    

Congratulations!
