Have you seen anyone wearing them? Where? Or, better yet, do you have a pair?

Today's funny :0)
An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the
boy should give some thought to choosing a profession.
Like many young men, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do,
and he didn't seem too concerned about it.
One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an
experiment.
He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table four objects:
- a Bible,
- a silver dollar,
- a bottle of whisky and,
- a Playboy magazine
'I'll just hide behind the door,' the old Preacher said to himself,
'when he comes home from school this afternoon, I'll see which object he
picks up.'
If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and what a
blessing that would be!
If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a businessman, and that
would be okay, too.
But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunkard, and,
Lord, what a shame that would be.
And worst of all, if he picks up that magazine he's gonna be a
skirt-chasin' bum.'
The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's footsteps.
The boy entered the house whistling and headed for his room. He tossed
his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the
objects on the table. With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to
inspect them.
Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked
up the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket. He uncorked the
bottle and took a big drink while he admired this month's centerfold.
'Lord have mercy,' the old preacher whispered with disgust, 'he's gonna
run for Congress!'

Peppers and onions
Visited the local farmer's cart again!
This time I bought more onions and peppers.
I washed all the goodies and chopped them together with celery and added three more bags to my freezer stash!!
This comes in SO handy when preparing meals - it's worth the time it takes to get it done.
Our tomatoes are not quite ready yet:

And this one doesn't type.
Now here is an interesting fellow - The Secretary Bird:
Secretary Bird, an African bird of prey. It is a long-legged bird about four feet (1.2m) in height with a head and hooked beak similar to a hawk's. Its plumage is blue-gray except for black wing tips, thighs, tail, and crest. The bird derives its name from its long crest feathers, which stick out from the back of its head somewhat like the quill pens that office workers once carried behind their ears.
The secretary bird is famous as a hunter of snakes but also eats rodents, large insects, small birds, and eggs. It hunts on foot in open, sparsely wooded grasslands south of the Sahara. It is believed that secretary birds mate for life. The pair builds a nest of sticks on top of small trees. Usually two eggs, white with reddish-brown streaks, are laid in the nest.
Long
ago, secretaries wrote and copied letters by hand. They stuck quill
pens behind their ears when they weren’t using them. The black plumes of
this bird reminded people of quill pens. So they named the bird the
secretary-bird.
When it’s time to nest, secretary-birds build unusual homes. They use sticks, leaves, and grass to make a kind of platform. Both parents incubate the eggs and share in feeding the chicks.
The secretary bird is Sagittarius serpentarius, the only member of the family Sagittariidae.
Secretary-birds live on grassy plains in parts of Africa. These birds are tall, and they have much longer legs than other birds of prey. They run through the grass, attacking prey with their feet and wings. Secretary-birds catch and eat large insects, snakes, small mammals, and lizards. They also eat the eggs of other birds
The secretary bird is a long-legged bird about four feet in height.

Charlie gets down 'n dirty!
Nah, don't worry - I wouldn't film Charlie doing his rooster stuff!
I have finally figured out to edit my videos. It is a LOT of work! I have to download the video from my camera to the laptop - it goes into a Sony file called" Memories", transfer the video to Movie Maker, because Blogger won't accept the file from 'Memories'', do the darn edit, and then upload the edited video to YouTube. Then I can download it to Blogger. (IF I can remember to do all the steps in the right order, the video shows up). There will probably not be any edited videos in the future. Sorry 'bout that.
I really, really miss my Sanyo camera.........
