Friend on garage wall this afternoon.
For some of my colleagues, spacecraft engine development is practically an obsession.
For others, bending of spacetime is the primary focus.
In either case, moving purpose-built beings from Earth to celestial bodies in this solar system holds their attention.
But then there are those whom we haven’t mentioned…
…the ones who pop up out of newly-discovered multidimensional spacetime travel methods.
But first, a Martian field trip’s in order.
From there, who knows?!
Going with the fallen log look for the cedar bridge stair steps…
The baby hawks are back this afternoon — another fun day in the forest!
I wish I had a better camera sensor/lens system than this smartphone to share with you not only the creatures on the ground such as the millipede above but also the hawk family that has been hanging out in the trees in our yard…the sound of the “scree, scree, scree” of the mama and the chripish scree of the two young hawks is amazing!
The squirrels are on alert!
In olden days, beauty pageant winners demonstrated their singing/dancing talents in addition to answering a question about today’s popular issues in the news.
Not anymore.
This year’s winner of the Miss Kingsport contest had to be the last one standing. Literally.
We’ll let the rulemakers, the “Members of Amtgard,” describe the new contest requirements:
A blow to the arm or leg and you can no longer use that limb. A blow to a kill spot and you are out. The last two contestants have to battle it out until one beheads the other. The last one standing is the winner.
Congratulations to Sullivan Central graduate Kylie Burkey for the surprise, last-second victory over Jacquelyn Crawford, the presumed winner who, although she won the the Jean Hilton Memorial Swimsuit Award and the Evening Gown Award as well as took tops in the talent contest by performing a graceful classical ballet dance to “Via Dolorosa” by Sandi Patty, lost her head in the final battle.
In 2013, Burkey became the first in Sullivan County history — and the first in at least the recent past statewide — to win gold at nati0nals.
When asked for comment, Crawford choked on her words but humbly admitted defeat.
When asked about her future plans to take other crowns such as Miss Tennessee or Miss America, Burkey said, “Right now, I’m just focusing on King.”
All contests are designed, run and judged by industry using industry standards.
Before losing her head, Crawford replied about her successful rise to the top of the program. “This is my first year being completely in charge of the Church Hill program, and it’s a really big responsibility,” she said, in regards to the Feed The Needy Program that believes no one in the community should go hungry during these times of heavy underemployment in the area. “We feed nearly 150 to 200 undocumented immigrant kids a day to the homeless and homebound elderly.”
