Bearly Noticeable. . .

 

As we know, stuff of all kinds happens. And it seems to occur regularly. Spelling errors and mixed-up use of words are just two of the many examples. Such blunders may even be intentional.  Perhaps it's meant to illustrate a point or maybe for some other reason.   And then there are occasions when it goes unnoticed. Possibly it's not worth the effort of trying to figure out why.  Such is life.

 

For just a moment, I consider is anyone “smarter than the average bear”? And then I turn to this quote which seems appropriate given that the dog days of August have made their presents known in many parts of our country.  

 

It ain’t the heat, it’s the humility. 

Yogi Berra  

 

Yeah, there’s a lot of cents in those words of wisdom in my opinion.  Because each day, each moment, is a gift. And continuing with that theme of value:

 

A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore

Yogi Berra

 

 

Although I have shared (and repeated) many quotes from Mr Berra over the years (why not, right?) here's one of my all-time favorites (and maybe one of yours too):

 

It's like deja-vu, all over again

Yogi Berra

 

Because it's Sunday. So much of life prompts pause for pondering.

I enjoyed each of the quotes...all great ones that hit home!

Because I'm traveling I have my next four weeks of Wordless already prepared. There is a "bear" theme coming up soon.

Hi Michael,

I love that image!  But It never gets old reading Yogi Berra's sayings.  Happy Sunday!

I had another bear image in mind which I have also used in the past but I think this one "works".  Glad to hear you liked it even if it's a repeat.

Hi Michael Jacobs thanks for sharing the Yogi-isms with us.  One of my favorites is when he was asked about a popular restaurant. His reply was: "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."

I have heard that used often for many situations.  It's definitely a classic.

I really enjoyed reading your message today, Michael. It was so good that I could Berraly stop smiling!

I like the way that Yogi makes his presence known in your comment.  Barely, bearly and with all sorts of appearances.

Dear Michael,

Always surprised when professionals let writing out the door that clearly distorts their intended meaning. Auto-correct might be ok for texts, but puzzling in legal documents.

Aug 11, 2022 06:52 AM
Michael Jacobs

Auto-correct can have disastrous results.  A collision of words is just one of the wrong turns.

Michael Jacobs - Are people becoming too reliant on auto-correct? When writing something in print, does anyone use a dictionary anymore? Born in 1925, Yogi Berra was likable, famous, and memorable. In 1920, 22% of the population had less than five years of elementary school education and 3.3% had a college education. By today's standards for education, it makes we wonder how many people would be smarter than the average bear? I digress....

I am not sure if there have been any studies comparing bears and human beings.   The thought is definitely ponder-worthy.  Perhaps wondered while enjoying picnic basket lunch.  😃

Michael Jacobs - Studies or not, bears are smarter than people think. I know one thing for certain, park rangers at National Parks are wiser than the average camper! I read an article recently, a tragic story about a woman killed by a Grizzly bear:


"A grizzly bear returned to kill a female camper, just an hour after she had scared it off. Leah Davis Lokan, 65, had been camping with friends in Ovando, Montana, when a grizzly bear appeared by her tent at 3 a.m while she slept, a report from the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee said.Jul 21, 2022

Hello Michael!  What a concept - posting quotes without simply copying and pasting.   lol.   These are some good ones.  And someone recently told me "There's no crying in baseball"  Guess where that one came from?

Michael Jacobs

You are so funny.  Still.  And a bit snarky too.  Keep it up!

Hi Michael - speaking of "bearly noticeable"  I hate writing what I know is right and having the corrector changing it to something wrong.

Aug 22, 2022 05:57 AM
Michael Jacobs

Auto-correct is barely recognizable to my thoughts at times,

I strive to be noticeable in this life but not too obnoxious Michael. Tell me if I am please 🙂

That's an interesting observation and one that seems to come from a kind place.

Yogi Berra was a classic.  Of course, so was Yogi the Bear as well.    😃

It is predicted that much of Southern California will experience warmer (okay, hotter) temperatures today.  It serves an important reminder that cooler minds and staying hydrated can continue to ease some (but obviously not all) things in everyday life.

These are some great quotes.  They remind me of Jellystone Park.  Now that Yogi was smarter than the average Bear - lol
