Maple Spanworm Moth

 A cooler, overcast day.  One of those days you can spend inside guilt free.  I cut up an old shirt for rags - including cutting off the buttons.  Hadn't done much w/ the button collection so took a little while to put some matching buttons together in little baggies.  Blitz watched and tried to 'help' whenever a button got close enough to paw away from the others.    The buttons aren't a real 'collection' per se - more a  resource.  Will make them into cards or a picture sometime.  

The TV was on most of the day.  I was surprised by the number of 'necro-advertisements'.   Jimmy Dean, who has been dead 15 years, is still talking about his sausages.  I would have thought by now the company could have found a different spokesperson. Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy's and dead since 2002, occasionally still smiles back at me showing how juicy his hamburgers are.   My head shot up when I heard Stephen Hawking's voice on an ad for something or other.   Jarring to see Reverend Billy Graham on the screen explaining the way to eternal life before a vampire movie came on.  I suppose this is just the tip of the iceberg.  Between CGI and AI expect even more ads featuring  'deadeberties'.

i saw the ad again and caught the beginning where he said he was Franklin. They look a lot alike now that Franklin is older.
