Friday Funnies

Wondering where SC has been in recent months now that his busy season is over

Apparently, he's in New England or at least someone with a similar name is here.
This license plate was seen in Nashua, NH, this week. 
This Santa was getting around, not in a sleigh, but in this understated car.
Check out this rear wiper blade that was on the car, definitely a custom one. I met the car owner who coincidentally was attending the same presentation as ourselves at the local historical society. He did indeed have a flowing white beard and told me that he has enjoyed representing the actual Mr. C. Regretfully, I did not take a photo, but suspect we may see him locally again.
Meanwhile, this shiny red sleigh car was seen in our parking garage last week. My first thought was that would be perfect for Mr. SC.
Another soggy weekend is forecast for Nashua, NH, with even a bit of snow by mid-week. Spring is definitely late in its arrival.

Enjoy Your Weekend, Everyone
We're going to an organ recital, Pops for Pipes, at a local church

Access is Granted

Yet, there is no plausible explanation, except maybe for the FM principle.

Some of you may be familiar with this expression, which doesn't mean frequency modulation. so I will leave it at that. Of course, you're free to substitute freakin' madness and that will work just as well.

A previous post detailed that I couldn't access several blogs on my sidebar, but instead received a warning that the sites could be risky. 

Frustrated and just plain annoyed as to why this message suddenly came up as these blogs were ones accessed regularly without any issues. It seems this could have been a recent security add-on through our home internet provider (Xfinity). This feature would block a site from loading if it suspected any potential dangers from malware, spyware or other risks. Yet, the sites could be accessed when not on my home network, so I was going to access blogs away from the apt.

Happily, I will not have to do that.
Maybe due to that FM principle?

Not sure how or why, but this past weekend all of those sites could be accessed with no displayed cautions. And, that trend thankfully has continued into this week.

And, I did absolutely nothing to cause either the initial problem or the eventual resolution.

Sometimes, there is magic and as long as all is working again, I believe.
Several mornings this week, our river views have been fogged in. The weather hasn't been spring-like with steady rain last weekend and a forecast of light snow changing to rain this week. However, we haven't had any of the nastier weather affecting many other states.

Thanks for all the comments on last week's Friday Funnies post that showed photos of lost shoes in singles and pairs. The diverse locations where the footwear was seen didn't provide any clues. As in many cities, there is a homeless population within Nashua, so perhaps a few bloggers were correct in supposing that the paired shoes were left for them. 
That said, here's what I saw earlier this week l and in this location, a Recycle can downtown on Main Street and only the lone boot. This one was not made for walking solo.
