Modern Day Oracle

I need an oracle.

You know, one of those divine people or objects that gives people, 
who travel to see it, 
wise answers to questions.

Oracle comes from the Latin word "oraculum" which is from the verb "orare" which means "to speak."

In ancient Greece there was the famous Oracle at Delphi where the God Apollo supposedly spoke to his priestess, giving her divine answers and prophecies. 
In reality, I think there was a gas leak from this major crevice she sat over. 
It put her in a trance and made her speak in a trance. 
But, she was consulted on all important things.







In Tibet they still have oracles, and the Dalai Lama still consults the official Nechung Oracle.

And then there was the Octopus Oracle, named Paul, who lived in Germany and predicted the winner of the 2010 World Cup.

I need something like that.

In other words, I need answers.

Preferably not trance-like lunatic ravings of a weird priestess...or an old Tibetan monk or an octopus...




Maybe Annie could be my oracle?








Or my frog plant pot?






One of my burning questions right now.
Driving me crazy.
I can't figure out how to solve the problem.
I've tried everything.



Why won't my computer recognize my camera when I connect them?!!!

Why, oh Why?

Yet another photo from my drive home.

I saw this balloon in the sky, coming down for a landing,
and had to pull over and photograph it.

I'm obsessed with hot air balloons.
I want to ride in one.
Before the year is out.




I'm also obsessed with finding out the top searches at Ask.com

If you put in the word "Why", here are the top 8 search phrases people search for:

1. Why is a four leaf clover lucky?
(Leprechaun poop is more lucky...what?)

2. Why is the sky blue?
(At least it's not red...)

3. Why do men cheat?
(Why do women cheat?)

4. Why do dogs eat grass?
(My dog, sweet Annie, does not eat grass.)

5. Why are gas prices so high?
(Why, why, why?!)

6. Why is my computer so slow?
(Mine has too many photos stored on it)

7. Why did Chris Brown beat up Rihanna?
(Seriously?)

8. Why am I so tired?
(Because I work a full time job, have two kids and don't sleep well or exercise enough, damnit.)


Do you ever ponder any of these questions?
Have you ever searched for an answer to one of these?
