Extra Free Day? Februrary 29th, 2012 !!

Only happens every 4 years  of course. Hope your computer clock ain't screwed up , it should read FEBRUARY 29, 2012. Best as I remember I've only known one person born this day and but not who it was now cause it was in the  last century back when I was in School.
Never fear cause good ole Hermit Jim down in his Cave had all the scoop on today.
Take it away Hermit!!

Haven't come up with a topic or ideas for today yet. Sorry. Maybe sumthing will come along in a bit.
So, Let's all get another cuppa and wait till we really wake up OK? ( 6:42am)

OH, I had a pop up when I started up Firefox Mozilla this morning.   Said there was an update and did I want to install it?  Well, yea guess so. It loaded up just fine and so far seems fine. All my links work, videos start and run, sounds work.   Seems faster also.
Good ole Mozilla.. :-)   I don't have  IE even up to date on here cause it sucks compared to this one..  I hadn't used IE since version 3 I think it was.  Hate it. Absolutely hate it!!

9AM plus. Basset was going nutzo in the kitchen trying to catch something .  Finally found what she was after once it landed on the window. Mosquito Hawk ,harmless critters.  Mother always called them that, I don't know what they are really . Seem harmless enough.  Sure keeps the bats  cats (I meant of course), entertained for sure.

Whar'd lunch go?  Dang I missed it. Been working all day on my book, filling in the missing pages that got lost somewhere along the way swapping computers, moving file cabinets and the like.  Took a break and looked at the clock and it's 1:30!!  
 Jeeze,,  Guess I better quit that for awhile and eat up some of that good ole leftover pizza from last night  huh? 

While looking for parts of the missing book  I found a whole file folder full of  typed up "saga's" that Ann and I used to do as mailers to all the family  on occasion. Shoot I found some going all the way back to 85 I think it was.  So, just had to read thorough them of course.  Interesting reading. Wish they was all in digital format I'd let you read some of them.

There were a lot of memories stored in them for sure.

BBL , PIZZA!!!

  1. That's what we always called them as well...and I sure have a bunch of them this year!

    If they really do go after the 'skeeters, then I'm all in favor of keeping them around!

    Looks like Spring outside today. This has been some crazy weather!

  2. I usually have a bunch of them,but this is the first one this year. Another critter I get is daddy long leg spiders!!! They make a colony out on the porch behind a cabinet and are a moving mass of legs!! Eat a lot of bugs.

    Spring here also Hermit.

  3. Mosquito hawks are crane flies. Some people call dragon flies mosquito hawks since they eat mosquito, where as crane flies which also go by the name mosquito hawk, do not eat mosquitos, they are vegaterians.
