Odds and Ends from My Email

Links, games, videos

Thanks to Fred, Gloria, Kenneth, Elaine, Taurus, and others who have sent me interesting links.

• A touching short video of a soldier greeted by his dogs when he returns from 14 months in Iraq.
  

• The Kandovan Cave Homes of northern Iran are a bit like Hobbit holes.

• For my Nebraska readers, an interesting book --  Pioneer Doctors of Brown County, Nebraska by Dr. G. O. Remy.

• On Veterans Day, all military personnel (current or former) are invited to a free meal at Golden Corral and Applebees. Bring proof of military service.

• Apple Picking Time -- Can you get half the apples in the pail? If so, you are quicker than I am!

• The Bear-- A 4-minute wildlife video with a surprise ending by Jean-Jacques Annaud. Well worth watching.

• A page of info about the types and colors of buckskin used by American Indians and frontiersmen.

• Beautiful examples of memory jugs and some information about their making.

• Circle the cat game -- it hasn't got any easier since the last time someone sent me the link!
