Who can ask questions? Discuss ideas?

on Tue, 07/31/2012 - 03:51

 Do you have something you are aching to say, want to ask, or want to wonder about out loud? Have you found 'sounding board' folks?

If it's not too personal, Toastmasters International Clubs are a great place to visit and test the waters of opening your mouth and saying, "Yap!"

That's a friendly reference to the powerful extra sound needed by every Who in Whoville to save guess who?

Yes, that vonderful elephant Horton. Well, consider this a Who-friendly forum. Post a comment as the spirit moves you.

The Stuff of Legends Unfolding Today in Many Areas: Yellow Medicine Dancing Boy (the name for the White Buffalo Calf, an unusual event)

 The stormy day did not keep hundreds of kind folks from gathering on the hillsides of the Fay farm in Goshen CT, not far from Tyler Lake,  to take part in the a special naming ceremony for a male white buffalo calf born on June 16th, 2012.

MAY is a time for good things to happen...take my 49th year arriving as scheduled against some odds. Ever have a close call of almost stepping in front of car in a parking lot, when walking backwards while saying goodbye to a friend?
