There is a Stadium Sized Asteroid that is supposed to come somewhat near the Earth tomorrow. Don't worry! A NASA spokesperson said the rock will NOT hit Earth. The space rock is predicted to stay more than 3 million miles away — or 13 times farther from us than the Moon. Excellent! But, it is 2020... So eventhough the experts say, It will NOT hit our planet... My Dumb and Dumber logic always kicks in... "so you are saying there's a chance". Earlier in the week, there was said to be a plan in place, to speed up or slow…
If you have exhausted all of your board games and puzzles from quarantine, you are not alone. If I see Monopoly Jr. before Christmas it is too soon. Don't get me started on Battleship... My son belly laughed at a new game called "Kids Against Maturity". It is like the adult game but more PG/PG-13. (Please do not mix them up.) I left some of my favorites from our first time out. Good luck playing and laughing.
Mountain Dew needed more AMP? This is like cranking the amp to Eleven-ty! Sorry, I have been up for a few days.
A Judge granted Carol Baskin the Greater Wynnewood Wildlife Park in Oklahoma. -Jeff Lowe from the Tiger King Series on Netflix has 120 days to vacate the premises. -Joe Exotic has to be flipping out, from behind bars. -And Carol's Late Husband is probably rolling around in a tiger's belly... (Sorry, I had to do it!)
With everything going on in the world. A positive from Saturday. Space X Dragon Capsule was sent to the International Space Station. The first launch from U.S. soil since 2011. This one ran by Elon Musk's Private Company. Congrats to NASA Astronauts Bob and Doug! I did see this video though: Was this the only place left in the world.... without Covid-19? They thought of that, right? Is Social Distancing in Space the same... 6 feet?
This week, my family grew by 3... Not children. The Birds?? A nest was on the down spout of my gutter. Three baby robbins had a makeshift nest. After my wife picked the birds off the ground 2 or 3 times... the planter, zip ties, and duct tape came into play. The good news: They are still alive and hopefully moving out when they are 18... and have feathers! Here is a picture of 2 of the chippy chirpers.
My child seems to like homeschooling better than regular class. Didn't understand why. Today he tried to read the eye chart at the doctor's office. He held the spoon blinder looking thing up. He announced 3 letters correctly, 1 being that GIGANTIC Letter at the TOP. Spoon on the other eye. He said "THIS IS MUCH BETTER". He gets the big letter and that is it? I thought he was joking! L's were P's. S's were Y's. Tommy Boy might have said "was there a 9er in there.". Even the Doctor came out to check.... My son said "well…
I don't know if it was a full quarantine 15? The food is still being JUDGY. Good News: With a mask on, no one knows it is me they are judging anyway? Take that toast! I am going to enjoy the weather.
It's hot! Today, I tried Taco Bell's New Pineapple Whip Freeze. Yum! After a deep dive, I found this recipe... So you can make something to cool off. It think it is basically the Disney Pineapple Whip. - 1 big scoop of ice-cream- 4 oz of pineapple juice- 2 cups of frozen pineapple Just Blend, Serve. Enjoy! If age appropriate spike it.
I dropped my chip. 1-2-3... argghh... Forget it. Okay, I am going to say it. The 5-second rule is dead. Thanks Covid! It was fun while it lasted. Bye Felicia! Much like blowing out birthday candles, kissing at weddings, handshakes/hugs (which I'm okay with) and swimming without a tri-kini or the new man-kini. Is 2020 officially cancelled? I'm going to finish the rest of my chips.
