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.”

  • Leveling up: Retirement contentMay 6, 2026
    As I mentioned yesterday, I’m doing a “content” review of my websites to see if there are areas I should be expanding or contracting, comparing them to other blogs and posts that are out there. I would like to do more on retirement as I transition out of the public service, but I am always … Continue reading →
  • Leveling up: Government contentMay 4, 2026
    Let me start by saying I like my websites. Sure, there are always things I could tweak here or there, or it could be on a faster server, or it could be more SEO friendly. I’d love to host videos inline without jacking the server costs. But overall, I like my two froggy homes. ThePolyBlog … Continue reading →
  • Book clubs 2026-04: Options for AprilApril 22, 2026
    March was extremely productive in my personal life, but not so much for reading. I was still finishing My Friends by Fredrick Bachman, and the first 20-25% was a struggle. I loved it, in the end. And I’ve been doing huge personal projects, so no reviews lately. Let’s take a look at the options for … Continue reading →
  • AI testing: The Bad…Time loops, tech support quirks, and driftApril 18, 2026
    By now, most people have seen some form of AI crop up in their tools. The most obvious one is Google’s search engine, which provides results from its AI mode first in the list. You can go pretty far with that prompt, even asking for image creation, although that’s a terrible place to create images … Continue reading →
  • More workplanning on my new Calibre libraryMarch 28, 2026
    I wrote earlier this week (Using Calibre to embrace my inner librarian for ebooks) about the Poly Library 3.0, and when I did, I thought I had most of my “work” done. I had decided on three main areas (the book profile, user engagement, and user tools), although, truth be told, I had four categories … Continue reading →
