After today, I'll be splashing around outside the stream for a while. I'm scheduled to have both knees replaced on Monday. I'll miss you all!

(This is not original but try it and see what happens.)
Have fun with this one! “This is a dog, this is a cat” racing around a circle in opposite directions.
You can use any two objects, for this game, one object is a dog and the other a cat. This works best when there are approximately eight people sitting around a table or in a circle. You will be the head of the circle and will start the race. You are holding the dog in your left hand and the cat in your right hand and you tell every one which is the dog and which is the cat. The dog starts and is passed to the left, as soon as you get rid of the dog, the cat is passed to the right.
You explain that the rules are simple - I’ll say, ”This is a dog” and I'll hand the dog to the first person on my left. But, before that person can take the dog, he/she has to ask me, “A what?” I’ll say, “A dog” The person then takes the dog, turns to the next person and handing them the dog says, “This is a dog.” Again the person can’t take the dog before they ask, “A what?” The “A what?“ question gets passed clear back to me every time, because I’m the only one qualified to answer “A dog.“ So, by the time its the fourth person’s turn to take the dog, he/she would ask the third person, ”A what?” The third would ask the second, the second would ask the first, then “A what?“ back to me. I will say’, “A dog.” It will sound like this. (Third person to fourth person) “This is a dog.” (Fourth person to third) “A what?”, (Third person to second) “A what?”, (Second person to first) “A what?”, (first person to me) “A what?”, (I will answer) “A dog.”, (first person to second) “A dog.”, (2nd to 3rd) “A dog.”, (3rd to 4th) “This is a dog.”, (4th Takes the dog, turns to the fifth person) “This is a dog.”, (Fifth person) “A what.”, “A what.”, “A what.”, and so on. I will start “This is a cat.” around to my right as soon as I’ve gotten rid of the dog. The same rules apply to “This is a cat.” We’ll see which one makes it all the way around the circle and back to me first! Any questions? “This is a dog.”
You have to remain aware that you are the leader, when “A what?” comes back to you from your left the answer is, ”A dog.” When “A what?” comes back to you from your right the answer is “A cat.” Have fun! Please let me know the results!

Is it possible to containerize a little chunk of old space and move it through new space? When I walk, does my space walk with me, or am I continuously walking into and out of new space (or is it spaces)? Ok, so let’s say that my space is stubborn and won’t walk along with me. Then, when I’m carrying an empty tin bucket without a lid, am I carrying old space inside the bucket through new space outside the bucket or is the wind stirring the mix as I walk? Can a person own a chunk of space? If the answer to that question is no, then who owns the space inside my tin bucket when I’m the driver, have no passengers and all doors and windows are closed? Will pieces of space outside this fast moving tin bucket be blown away or just be ruffled by the wind? And for the sake of conversation, let’s pretend my tin bucket is a two-seater moving along at 70 mph and a fly, in the back seat, is anxiously wanting to ride shotgun beside me in the front seat, how fast will the poor creature have to fly to get to the front seat? Maybe someone should write a song about how our life entangles with the mysteries of space and the fly!
When you’re through with that one, here is another serious question. “If its zero degrees outside and global warming suddenly heats it twice that hot, how cold would it be?”

We’ve all experienced the teller canister while drive through banking. The canister, propelled quickly inside a vacuum tube, makes the required connection between vehicle and teller. Why not borrow this idea for LDC (long distance commute)? Imagine with me, people size canisters inside tubes between Los Angeles California and New York, New York with substation exits all along the way. It would be like riding an elevator. You’d push the button for the destination preferred and arrive in a few short minutes. Our daily commute would be free of all traffic constipation and uniformed officers up in arms (bless their hearts.) It looks like all we need to do next is to locate a big enough "sucker" to start on this project!

Extra Virgin Olive Oil----- probably deserves the blue ribbon when it comes to the ultimate in imaginative levels of accomplishments, however, I took the privilege to list a couple of others reserved for emphasis only. Some examples are: How can an employee get rewarded for giving 120% to please the boss when 100% is all there is? And please, please explain, how the result of anything processed can be Extra Virgin? (Unless perhaps, the olive oil producers hire as many virgins as they think they’ll need ---- plus a backup!) At what point on this solid earth, did prices (like a gallon of gas?) go sky high? How much faster is, “As fast as a speeding bullet” than the speed of a regular bullet? Or when something is “Heavier than a ton of bricks“, how much heavier than a ton is a ton of bricks?
You want my opinion? I think she probably started this exaggerated level of thinking a long time ago when the cow jumped over the moon!
I’m sure you can think of many award winning phrases that aren’t listed, I’d like to hear some of your best.
