Stuff to know today ~~ this-and-that

1.  Today is "National Thank God It's Monday Day" (so engage in Social Media to celebrate, i.e, post, then read something on-line).

2.  Also I put this little ditty (a 'poem') on my other blog Saturday.  My inspiration (?) was a picture, "Orangutan in the Rain"  I chose Orangutan in the Rain photographed by Andrew Suryono for my inspiration.  His was one of the winners of the National Geographic Photo Contest 2015.

3.  The picture of KP and Mrs. Jim was taken last year as they were just coming out of the pantry after looking for goodies to eat.  What do you think they found? (hint: KP loves chocolate)

4.  Again today, it is also "National Spaghetti Day".  Eat some.  Make some (the January 2016 issue of Southern Living has some wonderful recipes).
 
5.  One more, today is also "National Trivia Day."  Did you know that the word “trivia” is plural for the word “trivium”. 

Notes:
 - a.  The National Day Calendar can be found by clicking here.
 - b.  For the poem, the instructions were to write a poem in exactly 55 words.  Also, "... invited [us] to look back on the past year by viewing the winners of the National Geographic Photo Contest 2015. (Click HERE) The photos are offered as wallpaper, which may be downloaded free of charge. Please acknowledge the photographer on your site if you decide to use a picture from that source."  
 - c.  I'm linking with Sandee for her Awww Mondays post (Link).  I believe these two I caught coming out of the pantry will rate, although most are posting animals like puppies and kittens.  How about an orangutan then? Awww...

Awww Mondays

 
 

This is the half of my footlong braut with sauerkraut and mustard that I did not eat.

I got this dog from the German Deli place at Borough Market (London, U.K.)(Link)
To read about another hot dog I got over there, click here.

The Braut was over 12 inches long, an inch stuck out each side of the baguette. 

Sandee has more of these at http://comedyplus.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/awww-mondays_26.html#more or click on any of these below.

Adi Can . . . . . . . . (and do an Awww Monday) . . . . . . . . pose with Harry Husker

.





The University of Nebraska Corn Huskers did win their (American) football game this Saturday, playing against the Baylor University team. I claim Nebraska on the basis of being an alumni because I attended there for three semesters. Later, eleven years of sitting out and eleven years of night school, I finished my schooling in Texas colleges.

The picture on the left I am showing to show some of the Nebraska fans. These three sections plus another section on the other side where we were sitting and then those scattered around mixed in with the Baylor gave the Nebraska Go Big Red fans almost five full sections of the ten in the stadium.

They came down from Nebraska in droves and convoys. The average distance might be from Lincoln, Nebraska, to Waco, Texas, which would be 725 miles and about 11 hours of driving time. The roads are all Interstate Highway or equivalent.

The right picture I am showing the Baylor Marching Band who played to us at half time. Baylor has an excellent music department and a very good band. We are always impressed by Baylor. Oh, yes, I need to mention our daughter, Karen is a Baylor grad with a Bachelor of Business degree in Accounting. Of course that doesn't prejudice our thinking about Baylor's excellency one bit.

Just to show the teams right after the ball was snapped from the center to the quarter back see the picture on the left. It also shows how the Nebraska fans spread out in other sections of the stadium.

On the right is the traveling semi of the Nebraska team. It carries all the teams equipment and goodies. I have never seen this truck on the road but it looks like it should keep up with traffic quite well.
