Happy Tuesday

Holding Missouri in my heart.

Today's Question:

If you were to make a Time Capsule to be opened in 50 years, what item(s) would you put in there ? Lots of pop culture stuff, electronics, you know, stuff that becomes obsolete the moment you buy it! Plus a letter about myself and my life, without my name. It's always more intriguing if you don't know who wrote the letter.


Bonus Question:

When driving over a big bridge do you prefer to be in the
Middle lane ?
Outside (slow) lane ?
Inside (fast) lane ?
Have no preference ? I'm usually running late, so whichever gets me where I need to be in time with the least amount of lane-changing.


Extra Credit Question:

Have you ever been on a Scavenger Hunt ? Yes. Seventh grade science class; we had to find all kinds of "invisible" stuff; carbon (breath), chlorophyll (grass), etc. Was a ton of fun!


Just for Fun:

Have you ever had Escargot ? No, but I would have tried them in my meat-eating days if given the opportunity.
Are you a fan ?

Thank God it's Tuesday and this is a week w/a treat at the end.

Happy hello to allyall

I live in a place where there are no bridges to cross and way too few people willing to cross the ones that need to be crossed figuratively speaking of course- We all have our bridges to cross I suppose one way or another. I am not sure it matters which lane u drive in as long as u keeping moving.

I have never eaten a snail, nor do I have the desire, but if that was my only choice I think I could eat it... Well probably not. LOL I believe in snail rights, so if that makes me a fan then I am.

Love and Peace
