Little one is taking singing lessons? I sure hope so. My current two and my previous two never sang with me. Sad. Non-howling hounds…it’s just not fair.

They were obviously just enthralled by your singing voice. Speechless, so to say.

When I sing, they come running to find out if I’m hurt or something…

Nope. Those don’t bother them at all. Strange hounds.

Yep!

By Australian photographer Ray Collins, who specializes in

just that thing….
Capturing photos of waves just when they look like mountains.

He has had gallery shows.

He says some are planned for months… buying tickets to travel to other locations, after collecting data about tides and weather, heading out in a small to just the right spot to set up and wait…. while others are pure serendipity.

My sister-in-law never got over that.

Their kids were born in the early 1970s, when seat belt and car seat laws were more lax, and enforcement was more so.

She wanted them in car seats, but my brother didn’t like them. He was thrown out of a car in an accident when he was about 15, and it saved him, which is rare, but he always hated seat belts after that.

He and I used to… um… discuss… the fact that he didn’t make.his kids use them either. Even their baby seats often went unused, if anyone was in the car who could carry them, until a new law made them get a car seat for my niece when she was already about 5, which she complained about endlessly.

So his wife was constantly nervous about their safety, throwing her arm like that at any quick braking, if she were driving… which she was all the time after their divorce. By then the kids were adolescents, and chose to wear seat belts, but her arm was still flung across their chests.

She was so in the habit she did it to anyone riding in the passenger seat… Including me, and her adult friends, and of course, her kids, even after they were grown.

You go to a mycologist?
That must be some toenail fungus!

Personally, I try to shower often enough that I don’t carry enough dirt to interest a pedologist.

And I’ve been told I’m an airhead, but I’ve never been to an aerologist.

What?

I got the answer you just posted below.

Now I gotta figure out another way, as well, to come up with 12?

There are probably several ways to “solve” it cos there’s no explanation of what they mean by the false equalities.

The answer I get
9×10=90
8×9=72
7×8=56
6×7=42
3×6=18

Obviously the “equalities” are false, so it’s a strange way to frame a puzzle…

But using the methodology they seem to have used,

I’d say that ..
each number in the left column is “equal” to itself times the number above it…

So 3 would equal 3 x 6, or 18

Looking at it another way
Some numbers were left out to see if you could find them
5×6=30
4×5=20
3×4=12

Nah… I mean yeah, that works…

But if I have to invent the methodology plus add in parts that aren’t included…

It goes beyond what’s acceptable in my idea of puzzle compliance.

Not that saying that isn’t what they did, though.

Maybe it’s what they’re looking for…

But I refuse to accept it. 🙂

Sounds like Adam Savage from MythBusters. “I reject your reality and substitute my own.” Sounds fair to me, go for it!

It looks like all you have to do is:
Multiply the number on the left by the number directly above it.

You have to assume that the number above the 9 is a 10.

Ew… But they actually made all sorts of jokes like that in Oconto.

Not that specifically, but about holding frog leg breakfasts to raise money, or writing a frog cookbook, different things like that.
