It’s Friday!

Marine scientists from the University of Auckland captured a rare sight off New Zealand’s coast: a Maori octopus riding atop a mako shark, the world’s fastest shark. The bizarre encounter, recorded via drone and GoPro, lasted 10 minutes, with both animals appearing calm and unaffected.

You might be planning to have a great Friday, but will it be as great for you as it was for this Octopus that hitched a ride on the back of a shark that can hit speeds up to 74 km/h (46 mph)?

You  might.

But I doubt it.

I have to admit-I’m curious.

Who Threw the Whiskey in the Well

Song by Lucky Millinder

It was an early Sunday morning
And the church was crowded full
Old elder Brown was rave’n
He was angry as a bull
The congregation sensed it
And they knew just what he meant
When he said my text today is
You sinners must repent
Who threw the whisky in the well (in the well)
Who threw the whisky in the well (in the well)
Cause Deacon Jones knelt down to pray
All he said was “Hey Hey”
So who threw the whisky in the well (in the well)
(Now who threw the whisky in the well) In the well
(Who threw the whisky in the well) In the well
I’m feel’en mighty fine
I’m high as a Georgia Pine
So who threw the whisky in the well
In the well
Who threw the whisky in the well (in the well)
Who threw the whisky in the well (in the well)
Keep your dippers out of that well
Or we all wind up in (WELL)
Who threw the whisky in the well (in the well.
That’s what I’d like to know
Well sisters and brothers
I’m taking my leave of thee
Every time I show you the light
And you all live outside me
Since brother Jones brought his bones
And Sister Ash has all the cash
Let’s get together drink water get tall
Come on children let’s have a ball

Whenever I want to feel like I the Universe is going bat*it Crazy and it’s spinning out of control and taking me with it

I think about Halloween.

This is what I do to set things right:

First step: open a new category in my blog for Halloween 2025.

Second step: Populate it.

I feel better all ready.

How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?

Yesterday I was waiting for my train when there was an announcement that the our train was changing tracks so we had to walk over to the other side of the station to catch our train. It’s no big deal. It’s just across the tracks.

After we crossed over the people standing with me on the platform and I saw on guy walking back and forth in the spot he normally waits for the train doors to open. He was looking up and down the tracks. He was looking at us. I saw him ask someone riding by on a bike a question but the guy on the bike rode by.

I see this guy a lot- he has a very distinctive walk. He waddles like a penguin.

I stood there with everyone else but I wondered, if I didn’t call over to him to cross over would anybody else?

The woman standing behind me said, ‘ well, you snooze you lose ‘ and the guy standing behind her said ” dumbass”

There was a dozen of us in that spot watching this man- or pretending not to watch him.

I decided today was the day I  joined Team Jackass and watched this poor confused man walking back and forth trying to figure out what to do.

Finally I yelled over that if he was going to Seattle, he need to cross over. He asked me what a few times so I yelled louder and and then he nodded and walked over.

On that day my goal was to be a heartless jackass and join the Heartless Jackass Club.

I did not make my goal.
