I need to focus more on good things and less on stupid things. I should quit smoking and start exercising more.
Extra Credit Question:

How far do you live from any of the following schools: Geez, I don't know....and I don't care!
Elephantary ? pack your trunk and go. Middle ? middle of what? High School ? Yes we were.
If any of our QOTD family lives very close, does the school traffic affect you ? School questions rot. Didn't you ever say "you rot" when you were a kid? It was popular back in the 60's.
Bonus Question:
Have you or anyone in your family ever owned a telescope ? Yes, I have. Refractors and reflectors. Never had a motor drive; wish I had. You know what an observatory is? With the huge dome on it and a sliding slot-like door on it? I lived in one for a few months. Yep, slept each night in a sleeping bag at the base of the giant telescope....I was sleeping in it because from there I could peek down into the museum, while I was guarding Mel Fisher's treasures from the shipwrecks of Florida. Getting paid 24/7 was a very good thing!
If a telescope showed up at your home, what would you aim it at ? Birds, lizards, stars and moon. People in the park when they appear to be doing shady things.
Just for fun:
How many items in your home have "Truckles" ? 2....a chair and an oil-filled radiator. I can ride my chair to the refrigerator!

He made the swim from Dover to Cap Gris-nez, France in 21 hours, 45 minutes. Oh 1916 - The U.S. National Park Service was created. 1970 - Elton John's 1st U.S. appearance, Los Angeles
Word of the Day: truckle\TRUHK-uhl\ , noun: 1. A small wheel or roller; a caster.

Extra Credit Question:
When does school start in your neck of the woods ?
September
How far do you live from any of the following schools:
Elementary ? Two blocks
Middle ? Half mile
High School ? A little less than a mile
College ? Two miles, and two different colleges are next to each other (a community and a 4-year).
If any of our QOTD family lives very close, does the school traffic affect you ?
Absolutely!!!! Especially at the beginning of the year when crazy commuters are trying to figure out how to drop off the kids and get back into traffic. And the area near the colleges swarms with traffic cops handing out tickets left and right. (Which is sort of a good thing because it gets the kids to drive safely... but in September you want to avoid driving around there.)
Bonus Question:
Have you or anyone in your family ever owned a telescope ?
Yup, got one in my bedroom. To look at the stars, of course.
If a telescope showed up at your home, what would you aim it at ?
I swear, I'm only just looking at the stars.
Just for fun:
How many items in your home have "Truckles" ?
We have a truckload of truckles.
