JotD: The hole in the woods (PWH00013)

The PolyBlog
May 6 2025
Two guys are walking through the woods and come across a big deep hole. “Wow…that looks deep.”  “Sure does… toss a few pebbles in there and see how deep it is.” They pick up a few pebbles and throw them in and wait… no noise.  “Jeeez. That is REALLY deep… here…throw one of these great big rocks down there. Those should make a noise.” They pick up a couple of football-sized rocks and toss them into the hole and wait… and wait. Nothing.  They look at each other in amazement. One gets a determined look on his face and says, “Hey…over here in the weeds, there’s a railroad tie. Help me carry it over here. When we toss THAT sucker in, it’s GOTTA make some noise.”  The two drag the heavy tie over to the hole and heave it in. Not a sound comes from the hole. Suddenly, out of the nearby woods, a goat appears, running like the wind. It rushes toward the two men, then right past them, running as fast as its legs will carry it. Suddenly, it leaps in the air and into the hole. The two men are astonished at what they’ve just seen.  Then, out of the woods comes a farmer who spots the men and ambles over. “Hey… have you two guys seen my goat out here?”  “You bet we did! Craziest thing I’ve ever seen! It came running like crazy and just jumped into this hole!”  “Nah”, says the farmer, “That couldn’t have been MY goat. My goat was chained to a railroad tie.”

  • A huge update for healthFebruary 11, 2026
    About a month ago, I posted my “H is for Health” post. I was not feeling particularly positive at the time about my overall health, but I would say I’m seeing some minor AND major improvements. Stay with me, it’s a slow climb to the end. My lower back has generally been behaving itself. My … [CLICK TO READ MORE]
  • Reading challenge checkin for 2026.01: January’s readsFebruary 9, 2026
    My reading challenge for 2026 is 63 books, which would be a little over five a month. So far, I’m on track, at least for fiction. In January, I reviewed 17 books, but only 5 of those were new reads this past month. On the other hand, my TBR pile exploded with book suggestions from … [CLICK TO READ MORE]
  • Book clubs 2026-02: Options for FebruaryFebruary 7, 2026
    I ended up tracking 40 book clubs for February, and 92 titles, although there are some repeats. As of one week into the month, Library Science, Native American, Oprah, PBS Book Readers, Richard and Judy, and Sunnie Reads (6 clubs) have not yet chosen a book. For the good news, looking at the clubs for … [CLICK TO READ MORE]
  • An accidental rabbit hole of book clubsFebruary 1, 2026
    Any regular reader could see that I have been prioritizing book reviews over the last month, having posted over 20 when I rarely do more than a few in a month. I’m trying to clear a large backlog by the end of the year, partly because it will also give me updated stats on how … [CLICK TO READ MORE]
