Cleaning the Desk

Saying for the Day: It is impossible to find anything on a clean desk.

It is Tuesday and my desk is a bit cluttered so I will try to clean it up.
First the Finnish words.
I am trying to find some way to get audio but I’m not very good at that kind of stuff.
So just hang in there or ignore it all together.

Somebody asked about where Finnish came from.
They wondered if it had Latin or Greek origins.
The answer is neither.
Finnish is a member of the Finno-Ugric language family and is typologically an agglutinative language.
It modifies and inflects the forms of nouns, adjectives, pronouns, numerals and verbs depending on their roles in the sentence.
Now wasn’t that helpful?

I am still phasing out this JCPOINTS system. Check HERE for your points and HERE for what you can get with them. Note I have added saffron buns.

I continue to work on the layout for this blog and trying to get some idea of where I want it to go.
I am giving some thought to giving Pigeon Falls a blog of its own..

I am also struggling with the format for the next blog marathon.

@@@@ Notes from Pigeon Falls– the little town in my garage where trains still run and dragons fly.-Eino turned the garage over to brother Toivo and took his wife and left for three days in New York. He felt he just needed to get away from Pigeon Falls and relax. He is planning on seeing a couple of plays and doing lots of sight seeing. He even plans on going to Ellis Island to see if he can find out what ship Grampa Jupola came over on from Finland. He is pretty sure he will see no dragons and no big White Rabbits in New York.
Toivo, you remember is the brother who got stuck rebuilding the pigeon statue after the original was destroyed in a storm. Nancy will have to tell that story to the town’s new resident writer. It isn’t everybody that can turn a bluebird into a pigeon.
Nancy says that one of the nice things about telling the stories to Tom is that they are all new to him. He seems to savor every one she tells. One wonders if all writers are such good listeners.
Our dragon and the White Rabbit have made no appearances since the dragon flew at New Years. Tommy, the undertaker’s kid says that they should try to figure out where the dragon and rabbit are when they aren’t making appearances. They have to be somewhere in the area. Unless , of course they are demons like Mrs. Trumble says. Then they just go back home . Or if they come from another dimension then they may go back there. It is mystery.
So life goes on in Pigeon Falls. Will we ever know anything about the dragon or the White Rabbit . What ever happened to the guy in Eino’s basement . Is Thomas Bradley IV just a writer. Is Tommy really the undertaker’s kid. Could Nancy be falling in love? Are there more of these questions we haven’t asked?

Today's Link-My Bloody Great Nutshell- Should he change jobs? Give him a little help. Remember to put the words Dr. John in the comment so they know who is really to blame.
Tried to blog this morning but blogger was down. So i recited the mantra. It is free. it is free. It is free one hundred times and I felt better. In the afternoon we left the fortress and did a little shopping. Now its time for a breathing treatment.
