Carolyn's always learning something new

The last chapter

As a fitting conclusion to the saga of the sun events on lakes, may I submit to you, this photograph of the original non-Sheboyganite photographer gazing at the beauty of the lake. This is indeed, the one whose photographs sparked such vigorous debate on this blog in recent weeks.

Just in case you were wondering. . .

The monarchs were flying over Oklahoma City this week . . . I don't remember ever seeing this many at once, but it was cool to watch them go by on their way to Mexico. Maybe someday, I can see the monarchs roosting in Mexico or California. (Put it on the list!)

Are you a paraskevidekatriaphobic?

This is not a good day for paraskevidekatriaphobics -- those who fear Friday the 13th. It's double-13 Friday. All the numbers in the numerical notation -- 10/13/2006 -- add up to 13 as well, giving great pause to the superstitious.

Just read this interesting article on The Point. The blogger reminds us of the quote

"The first effect of not believing in God is to believe in anything."

An interesting thought, but I also found paraskevidekatriaphobics an interesting idea, just because I like numbers and patterns. Remember 1991 was the Year of the Palindrome? You do remember palindromes, don't you? Can you figure these out? (Find the answers at this site.)
