Excuse me, but what is the point of \*Dating Naked \*if all the bits are blurred out? I would think _Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Bikini/Speedo Dating_ would be much more provocative. ---

Now, naked speed dating, that would be interesting. 5 minutes with a naked stranger, then move on to the next one. Some guys would never be able to look a woman in the eye. ---

Or combine it with “Married At First Sight” and “Bridezilla”, and call it “Grizzly Bares”. And now for something completely different… A crow just flew past me holding part of a white cup. At first I thought I was looking at an incredibly small Bald Eagle. ---

Last night I searched on the phrase “the dingo ate your baby”, and this morning I had an email from Amazon with the subject line “ **Dingo Dog Treats** ”. Kinda spooky in more ways than one. :eek: ---

Years ago, at a tourist trap near Hungry Horse, the store had a Blue Heeler running around (herding the customers, I guess). It was just the sweetest dog, we wanted to take it home. Not related to dingos, AFAIK, but symbolic of the upside-down land. ---

I love being an adult. I’m eating Circus Peanuts for breakfast. Protein is a good start to the day, and there’s the added benefit of memory enhancement. ---

I am 29. I have been 29 for decades. In a few years, I will have my 29th 29th birthday. Not really sure why, the first year I turned 29 was not all that great. I guess I was told never to trust anyone over 30 and I have always wanted to trust myself. ---
