We had no idea

 

We didn’t know why the Broncos were playing so terrible; why they kept losing.  It finally dawned on me today.  The reason.  I had totally forgotten about the lucky Bronco Poncho!

 

Our team has been playing all season without the benefit of the South Texas Lucky Bronco Poncho.  We were only thinking of ourselves when we decided to go off to Alaska all summer.  We weren’t thinking about all the Bronco Fans about to be disappointed.  We had no idea how many people we were affecting!

 

Rest assured, even if we don’t get to watch the next Bronco game here in South Texas because they keep broadcasting Cowboys and Texans games instead for some reason, the Bronco Poncho effect will be in full force for tomorrow’s game!

 

Birds are smart

 

While we were in the desert in Arizona, at a highway rest stop, I witnessed an interesting behavior.  It was not a very bird-friendly habitat.  Hard to imagine them finding very much to eat, but here was a great big raven looking fat and happy.  I walked over to where he was lounging in the shade and watched him.  A car pulled up and parked right across the sidewalk from him.  The driver got out and walked past the bird to use the facility.  As soon as the driver was clear, the raven fluttered over to the car and proceed to jump up and down in front of it picking nice fresh bugs off the grille!  He ate his fill, cleaning off the front of the car quite nicely, then went back to the shade, waiting for the next car/meal to arrive.

 

Pretty good for a birdbrain!

 

Hard to imagine

 

Hard to imagine a person would have to stand on a stool to reach lower, but that’s what Judy has to do to get clothes out of the bottom of a top loading washing machine.  From standing on the floor, she can’t reach over the edge of the machine to the bottom of the tub.  With her feet on a stool she can lean more of her body over the machine and reach lower.

 

We just solved that problem.

 

Two side by side front loading machines!
