Wonderings

Ahhh! The joys of nature at its finest. Recently, while in Colorado with my brother, we watched the lunar calendar and timed a trip to almost timberline with plans, and accompanying photo gear, of photographing the full moon rising majestically above the mountains. While standing in damp and deep Colorado high country grass, I began wondering about things.

(1) What color is Lindsay Lohan’s hair, really?

(2) What are grits, really?

(3) Does Queen Elizabeth ever get the urge to behead somebody?

(4) Why do children always choose to have a crisis while their parents are on the phone or going to the bathroom?

(5) Would history have been changed if Paul Revere had e-mail or Twitter?

(6) Why does the North have coffee houses and the South have waffle houses?

(7) Why is a fair’s Midway called a “Midway”? What’s it supposed to be midway between?

(8) Why does the North tend to have double last names and the South double first names?

About the time the clouds threatened to ruin our moon shot, I wondered

(9) What is the origin of the word Crotchety? Anyone know? And

(10) While reading an old family recipe book, I found the following: “Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed later on how to use it.” Huh?
