Simmering letters: only litter

Alphabet soup never lived up to expectations.

A hoax foistered off on little kids. No secret messages from this world or another.

In this day of  tweets and texts, no one really expects – or wants – a bowl full of novel length classics anyway.

Those easily amused can get a few laughs by reading too much or too little into things like the following:

“Danish Space Corporation”: company sign on a building not far from here.

All I could think of was launches of sleek teak . Clean lines in space travels. Sounds like a solid tagline.

Still, someone else said “Nothing like white icing to sweeten space in the morning.”

“Driving smart, vehicle recalls”: a recent banner across the bottom of the TV screen.

Cars have already reached awareness with AI? Sounds like this one has already reviewed it’s memory and data, reached a conclusion, and would like recognition for it’s driving skills. A participation trophy, at the very least.

Uber drivers are mumbling about headless car competition while others are worried that these demands by the autonomous cars for skill recognition and awards is only the beginning…

Strange days.

Early version of “Beam me up, Scotty.” This 1940’s radio acted like speakers for GE TV sets according to the circle. This wordy ad wouldn’t be effective today. Horribly hot here, so the hunt is on to for cool amusements.(Haupt/Commons.wikmedia.org)

“Space pants for Earth”: breathlessly read by a news anchor

Weird in so many ways.

It has to be really, really hot to make dogs and people pant – and space is supposed to be ice cold, so what’s got it all hot and bothered? Earth being such a rare jewel suggests reason to worry. Black holes can swallow galaxies. Spaced out Hubble says so.

Oh, actually Space pants are really healthy. Makes sense only if you do well with pressure.

Pressures on now that Summer’s here. 

As they say, “Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun.”

The sun sets slower around solstices (June 20/21). The additional baking time not always beneficial

Certainly maddening

Better to simmer and sip cold Gazpacho Andaluz than misleading Alphabet soup.

Darn soup never did spell things out right. ( And I blame its’ poor tutoring for my inability to spell.)
