I remember going to the paint store and requesting a warm blue that wasn't very green. They found it!

Hot cocoa & smoked herring on rice.

The Gnome craze has really gotten out of hand here.

I went to Menards to find a specific brown.
Didn't need much.
Very expensive to buy off the shelf.
Lo!
They had a custom mixed color exactly
what I wanted, & marked down to $2.

It's warming up to a decent fall temperature and the sky is blue. My excuse for not doing outside work does not exist today.

It's been damn cold here today. So guess which idiot went outside to put frost protection on some of the trees?

Hee, hee, not me but hubbee

All that fresh water would have diluted the oceans salinity way past the tolerance of most ocean creatures.

Five demerits for a serious post in response to a joke. Clearly God has an almighty salt shaker.

I'll take the demerits and wear them proudly if my message hits a target ;-)

But it must be noted that i simply cannot take the flood idea seriously in any of it's apologetic forms

Given how widespread the story is in various forms, there has to be a reason. List of flood myths - Wikipedia is a list. And where did you think Terry Pratchett got his slightly mythologized history from? Clearly the Great A'Tuin is Mikinaak

Waynaboozhoo shaped the mud, and it became bigger and bigger. He needed a place to put it, and a snapping turtle, Mikinaak, offered his back. The land grew and grew until it was the size of the whole earth.​

A Flood of Myths and Stories is interesting because it illustrates differences and common elements. I can see something happened maybe 100,000 years ago that turned into myths that changed with groups. "Cargo cults" are a recent illustration of how things like that can happen.
