What has all that to my Photo, taken at the left side of my bathroom sink vanity. Two cans of hair spray, the one on the right recently purchased, eight months after the one on the left? [Hint, to see answer please HIGHLIGHT the shaded areas.]
Easy, you guessed the larger can? Wrong!! They are holding Even amounts, Eleven ounces!! Next question, How? How did they do that? I don't know. Most all brands now have gone to smaller cans, look in the stores.
my Six Words
The dogs were laying all over Istanbul, on the sidewalks and, like the two above, in the grass. I have copied Twain's Chapter 22 of my old 50¢ find on eBay (link to my post about that), Traveling with the Innocents Abroad; Mark Twain's Original Reports from Europe and the Holy Land. Read it here if you wish, https://jimmiehov.blogspot.com/2013/09/dogs-of-constantinople-six-word-saturday.html .
The little golfer guy on the left, Mrs. Jim gave that to me quite some time back. He is inspiration for me as I prepare my body for all to see. I have named him, "Hole in one at the Eighteenth."
A Favorite: Egg sandwiches are one of my favorites, either homemade or McD's Egg McMuffins (pictured above), or the kind my mom used to make. Mine are very much like hers were. She put a broken yoke fried Egg on a slice of bread spread with mayonnaise. The top side slice was laced with catsup. On mine I toast the bread and put a slice of American cheese on the egg before the catsup spread top piece. Oh yes, the egg has salt and pepper on one side.
On the Egg McMuffin I remove the ham or sausage patty to eat with a fork. Sausage gets catsup and I leave the top off for it with jam and my second cup of coffee.
Tom's choice "Everywhere" 1:
my Six WordsI loveqd Twain's "Dogs of Constantinople"
"... dogs," he said, "I feel them Everywhere ..." We did too!!
Twain felt sorry for them in a way and admired them in another way. He told of a Sultan who once tried to kill them all off. That was unpopular so his efforts to rid Constantinople of the stray dogs failed.
Another time he tried to ship them all to an island. Not a problem there until it came back that the dogs never reached the island. Somehow they all "fell" overboard on their way. Sounds like in our 'old' Army when a footlocker falls on a belligerent trooper or he falls down the stairs.

Tom's choice "Everywhere" 2: Cats were Everywhere also. (more here, https://jimmiehov.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-cats-of-constantiople-venice-to.html )
Reflections and/or Street/Candid: These are my neighborhood photos from our walk on Tuesday. We probably walked a mile round trip; we old folk walk slow. Different doctors separately want each of us to walk for 30 minutes, five days a week. Another, a therapist wants each of us to climb our stairs every two hours.
Lagniappe: This would be the beginning of another walk, in Paris, France, here to the Eiffel Tower (https://jimmiehov.blogspot.com/2013/03/two-paris-hotels-six-word-saturday.html ) and
then along the river to the D'Orsay Museum ( https://jimmiehov.blogspot.com/2011/02/little-culture-st-jean-baptiste-rodin.html )
and on to Notre Dame de Paris [one of the oldest gothic cathedrals in the world] all for about three (3) miles. Then we
returned using a shorter route back to our hotel on the corner where we were starting the walk, where I took this picture.
