Pause Ponder and Paperback Rider

We didn't get much reaction to this week's pic. I suspect many folks are enjoying the last days of summer and probably missed our paperback riders, here.

Too bad. I liked this pic. Gives new meaning to the term bookmarks, don't you think?

Well let's see what our participants this week DID think, shall we? All 2 of them.

I'm glad the Erector set I had as a kid wasn't like this new age set!

I wanted the new furniture made from pussywillow, my wife insisted on hard wood.

Okay, there, Skeeter you win. Of course with 3 of the 4 entries this week your chances were pretty good. Nevertheless, congratulations guy. You're hangin' with dufus again.

It's the second or third of his I've given up on, Not so the other four, starting with a biography of Stephen Stills called Change Partners.

30 Days of Writing - Day #1 - Cheese

Well, here we go again folks. As if it weren't enough that I knocked myself out in April participating in 30 Days of Photos, now dear Nicky and Mike over at We Work For Cheese have corralled a bunch of us suckers into a 30 Days of Writing exercise. Yeah, I know. I must have stupid written backwards on my forehead. I don't know how they figured it out. They would have had to look in my mirror to realize it. Anyhoo, the first day's theme is - surprise, surprise - cheese. And here are the internet imbeciles Nicky and Mike managed to sucker into to this little exercise: Well, first off there's me!
