Getting Fired

"The term 'to get fired' comes from when clans of long ago wanted to get rid of unwanted people without killing them, so they would burn their houses down instead." Wow, I did not know this.

Sliding Barn Door Inside The House

One day I too will have a sliding barn door inside my cottage. They make such good sense when you can't do a pocket door. The room is so spacious without a door opening into it.

I'm always drawn to photographs of English Red Squirrels which continue to decline sharply, despite various campaigns to help them. I think the grey squirrels are taking over.

Zebra Cleans A Hippopotamus's Teeth

This hippo had no intention of having the zebra for lunch - it was having its teeth cleaned.

The hippopotamus is regarded as one of the most aggressive creatures in the world and has a bite that can cut a small boat in half. Nobody told the zebra at The Zurich Zoo.

Set Your Clock Forward | Daylight Savings Time

Tomorrow (March 14) is the first day of Daylight Savings time. Spring FORWARD one hour. Set your clock ahead before you go to bed tonight. Computers, cable boxes, DVRs and other devices will automatically reset. Don't forget. Luckily they always give us a Sunday to adjust so everything will be back to normal on Monday for the work week. You will lose an hour of sleep tonight so you might be cranky tomorrow.
