September 25th is the 268th day of the year. There are 97 days left.

Today's number is 25

25 is 5 squared, and it has no other divisors. It is odd, like the square of every prime other than 2.

As I mentioned a few days ago, my mother-in-law seems to think that a home business involving conversion of obselete media formats such as photos, VHS, old slides and so on would be profitable. Perhaps I do as well.

The trouble I have is coming up with a name. Maybe a creative name isn't necessary. All I really wanna tell people is that I'm offering a services and my prices are fair and honest.

Sit-a-while
on swinging porch
where tin-dippers and
sweet water
in cool touches
meet lips
from hand dug wells.

Good morning good people!

The last few days, every time I open the porch door, I'm dive-bombed by a cloud of Painted Ladies doing their thing on the soon-to-be-faded flowers.

I call this Not Rush Limbaugh, because it isn't Rush Limbaugh; rather, a far more interesting collection of rushes
