I was outside on a roof most of the day. All I could think of was if you were getting enough beauty sleep. But I figured there isn't enough hours in a day.:lol:

Happy Birthday, Squonk!!!

Oh, to be be 59 again.......

For some reason in my Hoosier Head, your user name kinda of stuck with me in a convoluted way.

I always think of Squanto, of the Massachusetts Patuxet tribe teaching the Plymouth colonists to plant maize by burying a fish with a kernel.

"Squonk" on the other hand, after some research, denotes something very different.

"The Squonk is a mythical creature reputed to live in the Hemlock forests of northern Pennsylvania. Legends of squonks probably originated in the late nineteenth century, at the height of Pennsylvania's importance in the potential timber industry.

The legend holds that the creature's skin is ill-fitting, being covered with warts and other blemishes and that because it is ashamed of its appearance, it hides from plain sight and spends much of its time weeping. Hunters who have attempted to catch squonks have found that the creature is capable of evading capture by dissolving completely into a pool of tears and bubbles when cornered. A certain J.P. Wentling is supposed to have coaxed one into a bag, which, while he was carrying it home suddenly lightened. On inspection, he found that the bag contained only the liquid remains of the sad animal.

The "scientific name" of the squonk, Lacrimacorpus dissolvens, comes from Latin words meaning "tear", "body", and "dissolve".

In my mind's eye, I prefer to think of an agricultural lecturer rather than some sort of liquefied, disappearing beast wandering the woods of northern Pennsylvania.

 

Anyway, hope you've had an EXCELLENT day, Sir!

Steve

@Stormin Who is younger ?  Both good looking Chaps . You don't want to see @squonk or @stevasaurus before they put on their make up. They make their wives travel with a huge pile of make up so the boys look pretty for their photos.:ROTF:

 Chris is actually the younger by a year, Jim. I'd best not comment on Steve and Mike. Steve keeps threatening to come over here for a visit. :rolleyes:
