You are correct!

The steering wheel is on the right side of the car.

Great so what did I win?? Lol

In the electronics arena, it is known to be what makes IC chips work - thus, when the part "lets the smoke out", it stops working...

Or they could just be ruffled when they blow their tops lol

It may be some on this thread may not be familiar with some of the more joyful songs of America as here posted for your enjoyment.

Motorcycles or sports in general?

Just wondering....

I can't tell from the helmet it your boy is prairy dog or squirrel, but I'm not prejudice either way. Lol

It is a squirrel - I did some nature photography also. Squirrels are fun to work with.
I had 2 here at my home that trusted me enough to sit on my shoulder and be fed peanuts.

That is so cool.

😄👍🐿️

It takes a lot of patience to get wild squirrels to trust someone that much.
I've raised south American ground squirrels.
I never taught them how to ride a motorcycle though.

Well, a lot of certain sports. Motorcycle racing images like the one you posted seemed to be a yearly regular, mostly from a particular professional photographer. I worked in a photo lab We also handled all the work for Orca Bay Entertainment, so I saw a lot of hockey pictures over the years as well, plus work from their other interests, and they would give us free tickets to events, such as the Ice Capades. That was always nice, as my daughter was young then and enjoyed such things. I never went to a hockey game or basketball game when they gave us those tickets, though, so when Jann Arden was opening for Sting in their venue I called them up, explained my situation (as their primary printer), and asked for tickets. The person on the other end of the line asked me how many tickets I wanted, so I asked if I could have 12? They exclaimed, I can't get you twelve tickets! The next day twelve tickets for the Sting/Jann Arden concert showed up at my work place from them, in an envelope with my name on it I gave most of them to work mates. One was so happy she was all but dancing and running around sing-songing, I'm going to see Sting, I'm going to see Sting! I told her, no you're not, you're going to see Jann Arden, LOL. One of the professional photographers had the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra contract, and he used to give me tickets to their concerts, also. Fond memories Those were the days! Then digital came along and changed everything. We lost 8/10 photographers at that time.

I'm sorry how digital photography ended that job Magenta. I was the county photographer and used film because my SLR produced superior pictures to digital at the time. I still have a film SLR and a couple good zoom lenses. Is there anywhere that you are aware of that does quality film developing? My local shop sends it out and is expensive with mediocre results at best.

Hey H&H, off topic......time of yr for medicare solicitation. A Ms. Jellissa of Tampa, Fla. and I talked maybe 1 hr. She says she also likes alternative meds.. Claims honeycomb if eaten aids in alleviation of allergies. Ever hear of this? She said water in river was still rising this morning and Ian was scary at her place. Her phone during our call was acting weird. She guessed Tampa-Ft. Meyers 100miles.

Oh! Digital did not end my job, but it did put an end to other people's jobs. My employment was secure, a fact which my boss informed me of when all the cuts started happening as he was preparing to retire and sell the busines to one of my co-workers. We went from about sixty people down to a dozen or less. Many years later it was the coinciding of covid closures and a cancer diagnosis that ended my employment at that particular lab after thirty eight years, but I had just turned sixty five, and though I had not been planning to retire, funnily enough and praise God it was all perfect timing for me. If I did still work there I would suggest that lab for quality developing and printing, but now I could not not recommend them.

I heard Ft Meyers was hit VERY hard. I searched for video about a business there earlier. I bought exotics there before and was wondering.
I haven't looked at a weather forecast in the past couple days. Is Ian still active?
We should continue praying about that if so. Certainly relief and housing, healing and comfort will continue to be required by many.

As to honey comb, some report relief because it has traces of propolis and pollen. Unless someone has a severe sensitivity, which BTW should be cautious at first to use only a small amount to start: the body responds to a therapeutic amount of the pollen as a mild antihistamine when eaten. For instance, some have pollen allergies when inhaled in the environment. If eaten many have relief of allergies. Source is important as a brand sold by GNC for a time was reported as contaminated. Rather than pull it from the shelf, the managers were cautioning customers against purchasing it. Strange policy ....I know. I've never experienced relief with honey comb, but have with pollen the bees collect. It's the dosage.

What about what is referred to as paradox? Seems I recall hearing about how a therapeutic that seems to be 'contra-indicative', not sure if correct term here, but turns out to have positive effect. Tu comprende mi habla espanol? Yubadubbado

Abstract
The term "paradox" signifies a contradiction of some sort. Modern health care appears to be rich in contradictions, and it is claimed to be paradoxical in a number of ways. In particular health care is held to be a paradox itself: it is supposed to do good, but is accused of doing harm. The objective of this article is to investigate whether the concept of paradox can serve as a framework for analysing pressing problems in modern health care. To pursue this, three distinctive levels of paradox are identified: resolvable paradoxes, antinomies and aporias. The analysis reveals that when facing the challenges of modern health care the focus of attention should be to resolve the resolvable paradoxes, to acknowledge the antinomies and to learn to live with the aporias.
I simplify it to mean a reaction that seems be just the opposite of that expected. Turn news on Ft. Meyers is atom bombed equivalent.

What you say about pollen may be significant here. Jelissa and I only talked short time and she said she buys honey at farmers market but the pollen source may be significant. Maybe???Maybe????My pea brain is rattling from all this thinking.

PM tomorrow and I will cover that for you.
I've got an early day tomorrow, my friend.
Need my beauty sleep. Good night.

It is widely accepted that eating honey that comes from local bees/flowers helps to ease allergies related to those flowers.
