Make sure your shoes aren’t untied before you walk into a public restroom.

Inventions
You know, I’ve decided the shirt pocket is a pretty cool feature. I know – we’ve got to give credit to the first cave man who decided some cloth fashioned over his arms and back was practical and hip. But whoever added the pocket was a genius. The shirt pocket was added long before you could slip a cell phone or camera into it. I’ll bet it was invented before fountain pens were made that could leak onto the shirt. (I’m not counting the old feather style fountain pens. Of course, I can picture our Founding Fathers walking around with a quill in their pocket.)
Just my thought for the day. When you think of something that goes unappreciated, you should give credit where credit is due. And today, I’m glad we have pockets on shirts.
Hurricane
The Tropics are still kind of quiet. The Hurricane Center says a strong High Pressure system and strong low level winds are preventing the development we normally see this time of year. Very nice weather this coming weekend – highs about 90, lows in the low 70’s. Pool water is about 85 degrees.
Lily
Sometimes, these things happen and I don’t remember to put them in Lily’s Journal. So I’ll put them here where I can update a little more regularly until I can put them in the journal later. So I apologize for any duplicates.
This morning, I think Lilyann Josephine Belcher, the First was particularly hungry. She woke up early and was clammoring for food as soon as we came into the kitchen to start breakfast. I finally had things ready and told her to go get in her seat, at which time she started screaming to Mom that breakfast was ready. Loud. “MOMMMM, BREAKFAST IS READY!!!! MOMMM!!!!” I guess Mom wasn’t moving fast enough and Lily said to me “Mom’s not coming, didn’t hear me”.
Dinosaurs
Did I just hear right? A Paleontologist on my local news just said that the Brontosaurus never existed. He said it was a scientific mistake made when the head of one dinosaur was put on the body of another dinosaur and thought to be a new species.
Anyone who can offer any support of this will be appreciated.
If there were no Brontosaurus, what did Fred Flinstone eat?
