This weeks theme is Important

This weeks Photo hunter theme is important and I’m having a hard time deciding just what to post.

There are so many things that are important to me.

I’d post a photo of my wife, but she hates having her photo taken so I don’t have many to chose from and uh she’d probably kill me for posting a photo of her anyway!

Family, friends and music are important to me. I’ve always been a very social person. Talkative my wife would say. So it’s easy for me to have a good time just about anywhere I go because I talk to anyone.

I think I’ve met just about all of our neighbors. Not just the ones next door either. I work three blocks from our home and I think I know just about all the neighbors within that three block range.

The photo above is of our neighbor Sofie. I was playing guitar in our backyard one day and she was out in her garden. Just for fun I wanted to try to give Sofie a lesson but it didn’t go so well. The photos’ great though isn’t it? Sofie rocks!

Here’s a few accident prone people that you wouldn’t want working on your property:

- Inspecting the Dukovany nuclear power plant in Moravia in September, an unnamed American official with the International Atomic Energy Agency wandered away from the group and fell into a water tank. I hope that water wasn’t tainted!

- In September, firefighters in Spokane, Wash., rescued a worker whose head had become stuck in a water meter enclosure for about four hours. How does one get their head stuck in a water meter enclosure?

- In October, when Turkey’s prime minister Tayyip Erdogan fainted from low blood sugar, his security team rushed him to a hospital but mistakenly locked him and the keys inside his fortified car; after they pounded on it for a while, a nearby construction worker with a sledgehammer saved the day. That could have been a life and death situation for the Prime Minister. I think he needs a new security team- don’t you?

Did you know that Scott Adams, the cartoonist that creates Dilbert, is recovering from spasmodic dysphonia, a bizarre medical condition in which the brain areas controlling speech get weird, on and off. When it gets weird it can really get weird, sometimes victims can speak only in falsetto, or only right after sneezing.

Scott Adams spasmodic dysphonia allowed him only to be able to speak when reciting poetry or when he pinched his nose. Now isn’t that odd? Apparently one person in 10,000 suffers from this, usually in mid-life.

Adams seems to have recovered, but it’s quite an interesting coincidence that his Dilbert character has no mouth.
