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.”

    Part of my life revolves around work, hobbies, my home life, and family. And, of course, writing. And as you’ll soon see, reading.

    Book clubs 2026-09: Dropping the hammerSeptember 15, 2026
    For September, I monitored 39 active clubs. Those clubs gave me 74 rows for consideration, representing 60 new books for the database. Of the 60, I said Yes to 9, Maybe to 8, and No to 43. I also considered Bestseller lists, which generated 116 other titles for possible consideration. Of those I said Yes … Continue reading →

    You might have noticed I’m a bit late again this month — I’m working on a big project related to my Calibre database, which has slowed me down; I was hoping to finish it quickly and get back to my book clubs. I didn’t, and it’s still going, but I wanted to get my lists … Continue reading →

    I worked on the list of books for July back in July, even though I wanted to just sit on the back deck and read all summer. I’d have invited you over, but, well, (shaking Kindle), “Book!”. But life got away from me, and I never did post the July list. As I mentioned in … Continue reading →

    Saying goodbye to my nephew BrianJuly 3, 2026
    Last night, we had a celebration of life for my nephew Brian. He was 51. There was a good turnout, as the saying goes, of family and friends. A group that Brian himself would have felt was too large and too much fuss. And as I looked at the picture boards that his sister Julie, … Continue reading →
