Sue and I went out to lunch at Frazier's then walked to the Downtown Emporium where I purchased a new to me angel. It is on a long metal stick so that you may poke it in the ground. This angel is a sort of Red, White and Blue angel, very patriotic although you may have to imagine the Red part unless it is the rusted bits. During lunch I bitched about the 60% of our department who went missing for a total of 6 1/2 days this week!!! Tuesday was brutal! Then we walked to The Oddity Shop to peruse their used books. Most of them for two dollars each, Score!
And now for the puzzle portion of this blog. I finally got around to actually opening my Secret Santa present from work. It was three very large glass candle sticks or exotic drinking glasses like the kind that come loaded with ice, rum, Mai Tai mix, fresh fruit,a paper umbrella and straws for everyone. So I decided to put them on the mantle. The question is just how many candles and/or candle sticks ARE sitting on that mantle? I ax you...
And as I sit here I am listening to very loud borborygmus from my tummy. Do sour dough pancakes keep on working once inside? Ew

Wikipedia on wild yeast:
Yeasts are eukaryotic micro-organisms classified in the kingdom Fungi, with about 1,500 species currently described;[1] they dominate fungal diversity in the oceans.[2] Most reproduce asexually by budding, although a few do so by binary fission. Yeasts are unicellular, although some species with yeast forms may become multicellular through the formation of a string of connected budding cells known as pseudohyphae, or false hyphae as seen in most molds.[3] Yeast size can vary greatly depending on the species, typically measuring 3–4 µm in diameter, although some yeasts can reach over 40 µm.[4]
The yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used in baking and fermenting alcoholic beverages for thousands of years.[5] It is also extremely important as a model organism in modern cell biology research, and is one of the most thoroughly researched eukaryotic microorganisms. Researchers have used it to gather information about the biology of the eukaryotic cell and ultimately human biology.[6] Other species of yeast, such as Candida albicans, are opportunistic pathogens and can cause infections in humans. Yeasts have recently been used to generate electricity in microbial fuel cells,[7] and produce ethanol for the biofuel industry.
Yeasts do not form an exact taxonomic or phylogenetic grouping. At present it is estimated that only 1% of all yeast species have been described.[8] The term "yeast" is often taken as a synonym for S. cerevisiae,[9] but the phylogenetic diversity of yeasts is shown by their placement in both divisions Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. The budding yeasts ("true yeasts") are classified in the order Saccharomycetales.[10]
TMI.
14?
Yep and 15 candle sticks. Good be a major bon fire if I ever fire them all up. R
