What did you learn today?

[Gazman]

My idea to combine Pokemon Go with the search for Joseph Kony, may have a few logistical issues to sort out before it can go ahead.

I learned that drinking a warm beer from a glass is better than drinking a cold beer from a can

I learned that I like Hummingbirds even more than I did before.

Today I was out watering some garden plants with a hose with a spray nozzle. ( A job assigned to me by the warden here at the prison).

There is a slight leak that comes out of the spray handle in the form of a small steady drip, whether I have the water spray on or off. (Someday I will fix the leak when the warden issues a job permit for it).

This little hummingbird flies up, looks at me and then takes a drink out of the drip for few seconds. Then it moved underneath the drip and began taking a little shower for a few moments.

One of the cutest things I have ever experienced.

I learned that my new EGO 56-volt cordless lawnmower puts my old Craftsman mower to shame!

I learned about crank waving.

[bluesblaster]

Wow! Two threads closed by waving cranks. Who knew?

 

[El Güero]

Do tell.

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt, tied it to my crank and waved it.

I learned that no-one knows who D.B.Cooper is or was.....and that the FBI are sort of, in a way, not giving a crap whether they actually ever catch him or find out who he was.

So I also learned because of that, that not only can you run and hide...you can also totally disappear.

Actually hundreds of people disappear every year and are never seen or heard from again.

They never got The Zodiac Killer either.

Peter (on phone): Okay..!

President Jimmy Carter: Okay.

I gleaned today, there's a health probe underway in England into an outbreak of severe diarrhoea
amongst a group of Nottinghamshire X-runners. Judging by this photo, there can be little doubt.
These X-runners are obviously very sick.

Well, yesterday, not today, but I learned I need a heart catheterization.

Best of luck, bholder.

I hope all goes well, friend.

Today I learnt that in the hierarchy of the backyard animal kingdom, the squirrel outranks the chipmunk. The chipmunk is pretty low in the pecking order.

 

[PWRL]

Well, yesterday, not today, but I learned I need a heart catheterization.

Sorry to hear that. I wish you well.

 

[bholder]

Sorry to hear that. I wish you well.

Thanks, everyone, should be no big deal but still a little scary. Should have stayed in shape! D'OH!

Due to an incident that happened yesterday I learned to never take anything for granted.

If you love your significant other or whomever (kids) etc......love them TODAY. Don't put it off. Don't become complacent.

Time and tide wait for no-one.

Don't wake up muttering the words "If only I'd..." because those words are wasted breath and of no use..

If you love a person, check your self-important ego at the door and do exactly that.....because once the door of life's decisions and actions closes behind you, you can't re-open it and the damage is done.
