Have you ever ridden in a helicopter? I have, a long time ago, when I was in the Navy. These things just seem to defy gravity, but they work. Mostly. Today’s jigsaw puzzle is of a helicopter that looks like it is parked outside of a hospital. Could it be the same hospital from Saturday’s […]
Well, I need a hand basket because I know where I’m going to go in one, although how I’m supposed to get inside a hand basket much less make the trip while stuck in one is beyond me. I figure I’ll be going there because I dared curse out an idiot today for being stupid. […]
No, I haven’t visited a hospital lately. I just liked the way the windows looked and thought it would make a nice jigsaw puzzle. I generally try to avoid hospitals, as they are more like a cross between an extremely expensive hotel and a torture chamber. Where else do you go to pay someone to […]
It’s Saturday, time for the kids to go outside and play. But dad! It’s 28 degrees and sleeting outside! Now now, kids. You’ve been wanting to go outside, and now you’ll have the entire playground all to yourself. But DAD! Go on outside, now. Dad’s got eighteen hours of pre-Superbowl game TV to watch, including […]
Friday’s Daily Jigsaw Puzzle If you cloned Gumby and taught the clones to play music, what would you have? A rubber band, of course! Bad jokes aside, these colorful rubber bands make for a tough jigsaw puzzle. Hey, it’s Friday. You have the entire weekend to solve it. It’s not like the Superbowl is going […]
Colorful Vegetables Today’s jigsaw puzzle is a common sight at the local Farmer’s Market. My wife and I go there often, although probably not often enough for her. I love the fresh colorful veggies, and the people out there are always friendly. There is also a restaurant out there that serves great food. It’s one […]
Do you have a favorite chair? I do. It’s old, and it’s comfortable. It’s almost like an old, old friend. It’s like me – worn out, got it’s bald spots, faded in places, and the padding has shifted around over the years. But hey, it’s still got a few good years left in it.
There’s something about the sound of a waterfall… Be right back…. OK, sorry about that. Anyway, the sound of a waterfall can be quite relaxing. It’s also a great place to have a picnic. Today’s jigsaw puzzle is a little on the tough side. But relaxing.
Today’s jig saw puzzle is of a Balustrade, which is a fancy way of saying a bunch of posts that support a railing. It is also called a ‘stair stick’ and is, as you have probably guessed, a French based word. They usually have a curved shape, with the bottom being larger than the top. […]
Now for something different in our jigsaw puzzles – a portrait. From Wikipedia: In Hinduism, sadhu, or shadhu is a common term for a mystic, an ascetic, practitioner of yoga, and / or wandering monks. I saw two when I was in India. There are supposed to be four to five million in India. This […]
I was looking in my collection of photographs when I saw the one in today’s puzzle, and figured, “why not?” That’s the whole reason today’s jigsaw puzzle is a flower. It’s just that simple.
Some of you may remember a penguin named Opus, from the comic strips ‘Bloom County’ and ‘Outland.’ He was one of my favorite characters. I was reading some old strips when I decided to use penguins for today’s jigsaw puzzle. These are called ‘Humboldt Penguins.’
I wonder what this cat is watching? Is it a mouse? A bird? A plane? No, it’s watching…. Super Rat! Faster than a speeding kitty cat! More powerful than a rat trap! Able to leap tall cheese in a single bound! OK, I’m starting to lose it. Got to go feed the zoo so I […]
(Sorry this is late. I just discovered I forgot to push the “Publish” button.) We had some bowls similar to these in today’s jigsaw puzzle. Over the years they kind of got broken. The good news is that you can put these bowls back together, puzzle piece by piece. But you should be prepared for […]
Dandelions and Soccer Ball Unless you have a good bit of time to play. This is one of those puzzles you look at and say “What was he thinking???” Well, it’s not as tough as it looks. I completed it in under half an hour. OK, it was the easy version. But I feel good […]
I used to play chess years ago, and taught my children at an early age, although I don’t think they still play. They seemed to think the object was to capture as many of the other person’s pieces as possible. Guess they preferred checkers. Anywho, this is sort of an abstract 3D rendering of a […]
I looked for some fruit today, but the basket was empty. That was a puzzle to me. Why would it be called a fruit basket if there wasn’t any fruit in it? Wouldn’t be called an air basket or an empty basket? What if you put vegetables in it instead, would it be a vegetable […]
This week has been a real dog, so I thought, why not finish up with a dog? Pepi the Pug is an ugly / cute little dog (so ugly he’s cute?) that was more than happy to let us use his picture for our jigsaw puzzle today. I think Pepi had a rough week, too. […]
So my friend Fern says she wants to see a tough jigsaw puzzle, so I told her I would make one just for her. It’s a fern. And it’s tough. Just like Fern. She’s a bouncer at the local biker’s bar. Hopefully she won’t bounce me for my little joke. If you have any problems […]
I will admit, the photograph in today’s jig saw puzzle makes it a little bit tougher than normal. So I kicked it up another notch. The extreme version below has the same number of pieces as the tough version, but the pieces rotate! If you like Herons, then this one you will like. Tasty!
Wednesday’s Daily Jigsaw Puzzle The world may not be all black and white, but today’s jigsaw puzzle is. “De Passage” (pronounced as in French) was the Netherlands’ first covered shopping mall. Dating from the late 19th century, it contains many expensive and specialty shops. – From the photographer, Bert Kaufmann. To me, the place just […]
