E-mail brings some interesting things. The following video is just hilarious. I hope the link works because you will love it. This video came in today's mail.

Yesterday I received an invitation from Mutual of Omaha to have an "aha moment" taped in their Airstream video bus that will be located at our zoo. They found me through this blog. You never know who might read your blog, do you? Because of the logistics in getting there, I declined the invitation so you won't be seeing me on their 'Aha moments' web site. It might have been fun, though.

Then several days before I received the following:

See my new badge? The translation is: "It's worth keeping an eye on this blog". I am honored to receive this award from Chris. He is from England, but lives in France. I am humbled to know that my blog is being read in many countries.

To accept this award I am to link to Chris' blog

and to add the links to ten blogs I find interesting. This is always the hard part, because I find all the blogs I read are interesting. So, if I have forgotten you, please don't take it personally. I am just going down the list and randomly picking out ten.

1. The Rant by Tom Degan. An excellent post on politics. Tom writes in a very humorous style. Tom is a master at irony. He always 'nails it.'

2. 20th Century Woman by Anne. She always has something fascinating to say.
http://20thcenturywoman.com/


3. A Piece of My Mind by Betty. We share political views and often write on the same subject. It's no secret that I always love to read her blog.

4. Baino's Banter written by Helen in Australia. She has a delicious sense of humor and posts often.

5. Birds On a Wire by Paula. Paula's posts are always excellent and well researched. I wish I could write half as well.

6. Citizen K by Paul. His posts are always well worth reading. He is very literate and well informed. His knowledge of politics is phenomenal.

7. Friko's Musings by Ursula. She writes from the U. K. and I have learned so much about her world. Always an interesting post.

8. Santiago Dreaming by Colleen. I wouldn't miss reading her post for anything.

9. Rinkly Rimes by Brenda. She is also an Australian and is so talented. She writes very clever rhymes on any and all subjects with photos that are a tie-in to her poems. She is so prolific I am constantly amazed at her ability to do so daily (or oftener).

10. Writerquake by Lydia. Lydia has an 'old postcard' day and writes on many subjects. I have found much inspiration on her blog.

There you have it. I know that many I have listed will not want to play this game, but I decided that they were worthy of the award, whether they wanted it or not.

To those of you that do want to accept the terms of this award I hope you will notify me when it is posted. Thanks to all ten of you for writing such excellent blogs.
