Here is one of my Pet Peeves.

Our beloved news commentators / television stations lead us down a path of a developing news-story and then suddenly, when we are really interested in the topic, they stop cold and you never again hear about what it was they lured us into following.

I try not to do the same. 

To wit..

Several weeks ago, SEP 21, 19, I showed a series of photos of a charming puppy.

What happened to him? So far I’ve seen neither hide nor hair of the little rascal. Obviously he is in good health and he was out alone exploring his world. When he got home, or his owners found him, I think that maybe they have put him on a short leash.

AND THE DINKEY BIRD IS SINGING IN THE AMFALULA TREE

Below is a link to the Poem..

The Dinkey Bird applies to the craziness that can go with the..

Full Moon Time of the Month.

For the three photos below that-made-the-cut, over the past several days, I must’ve snapped thirty more.

Patti is very particular about her full moons. She points out that immediately before the actual full moon rises, it only looks full but it is not actually full yet.

Well My Dear One .. Was this one full?

HAPPINESS IS..

This proves it!

Happiness is different things to different people at different times!

For Your Captain .. 

HAPPINESS IS.. A bottle of black lacquer and a bottle of white lacquer.

“Dad! They won’t be able to see me Dad!” /s/ Black Lacquer Bottle

“Ah-h Captain they look like finger nail polish bottles!” .. “Touché. Exactly! Black lacquer and white lacquer!”

Not all of the floors of my apartment building have numbers in the lobby where the elevator doors open. So I put two small, black dots onto the wall of the main lobby at the downstairs floor that will lead me outdoors.

The elevator control panel does not have floor markings! So I put two black dots on either side of my floor so I know without question which button to push.

My vitamin dispensers. The white dot is for morning vitamins and the black dot for evening vitamins.

I use these empty Ensure bottles to hold different liquids. The black dots separate these four from the others that are not marked.

The bottle with the one white dot on its blue cap is used for a different purpose than the three with the yellow tape on their caps.

My liquid soap dispenser lives on its head.

The black dots tell me exactly where to snap the plastic bottle open. 

The four black dots on my laptop show (on the right) my wireless mouse USB2 port, on the left from the top down, electrical power input port, USB2 port for my cameras / thumb-drives and the lowest black dot shows a USB-C port for the new input plugs.

On the left my Samsung A10:  The top white dot is its answer switch / volume control and the lower white dot its on / off switch. 

On the right my two Nokia cell phones. One white dot indicates my primary phone and two white dots my secondary phone.

For the life-of-me I have trouble with which way to insert their charging plugs.

No more! The white dots tells me the flat side is on the bottom.

There are more, many more, examples of my use for the black and the white lacquer but I’m going to call this a done-deal.

“You’re correct Captain!”

“This Post proves it!”

“It IS the full moon.”

Cap and Patti

    Appreciate the update on the cute puppy. Not seeing him any more likely does mean he is being kept closer to home. And yes, the news does grab our attention on something startling .. and then we usually never hear anything more about it .. frustrating. Looks like the “dot world” keeps things straight for you. I believe in whatever works! That moon looks full to me!! Smiles and hugs. Patti

      I like that term you just ‘coined’, my ‘dot world’ and YES oh YES, the dots really do help me a lot. Often I’ll want to plug in a charging cord for one of the cell phones after I go to bed and in the dark it is impossible to get those plugs into their port and I NEVER EVER want to force them. Now its no longer a problem. Yes I’ve been meaning to do a report about the puppy because YOU have asked me a time-or-two about him. Happy I got a really full moon for you. Much Love .. Cap
