Batman...

With the huge success of "The Dark Knight" and Heath Ledger's unforgettable performance, I hope folks will take a look at this terrific 2-disc animated thrill ride which includes a video-bi-op of creator Bob Kane and four terrific episodes from the Batman animated series.

The buzzard picture in the center was drawn by Al Capp himself, creator of Li'l Abner and the folks of Dogpatch, U.S.A. Pretty neat, eh?

Hinckley, Ohio is notorious for the annual return of its flock of buzzards (turkey vultures) every March 15th, which is celebrated the following Sunday at the Hinckley Elementary School.
Visitors can enjoy a Pancake and sausage breakfast, check out a live buzzard provided by the Cleveland Zoo, and buy buzzard related items in the gymnasium like T-shirts, hats and such.

Put it on your calendar for next year.

Christmas in July...

Mt.Pleasant will be celebrating Christmas in July this Sunday. Church will be followed by a good old-fashioned pot luck dinner. Come one, come all. We always have plenty of food for everyone.

Does this image cause you to squint a bit? It's no brighter than the white background of this website. White is white, right? But optical illusions are still fun and fascinating. Include your favorites on the comments page for future sharing.

Jiminy Cricket to the world...

Reverend Skull preaching now:

Want to save on tip money? Well, not really, but it will seem like a bigger tip when you leave or present it. Use the person's name. The wait person, busguy, cabbie, maid, hairdresser, whomever. Be clever about finding out what it is. Many staff people wear name tags. "Thank you, Joyce," registers as almost ten times simply saying "Thank you".

Our great goal to bring smiles to as many faces as possible continues.

Amen

Reverend Matthew Wald (back row, left of cross) decided it would be fun if we all wore Hawaiian shirts to church last Sunday (see link for Bennett's Corners). Here's the result.
