For those who haven't seen her work, here is part 1 of a 3-part series on doodling in spirals and Fibonacci series.

As a fan of doodling and math, thanks for posting.  Phi is why my avatar is a nautilus shell.    Nature by Numbers:

Your Monday 2-for-1 joke post! The Taxi Driver A passenger in a taxi leaned over to ask the driver a question and tapped him on the shoulder. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb, and stopped just inches from a large plate glass window. For a few moments everything was silent in the cab, and then the still shaking driver said, “I’m sorry but you scared the daylights out of me.” The frightened passenger apologized to the driver and said she didn’t realize a mere tap on the shoulder could frighten him so much. The driver replied, “No, no, I’m sorry, it’s entirely my fault. Today is my first day driving a cab. I’ve been driving a hearse for the last 25 years.” ____ The Heart Mechanic A motorcycle mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop. The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across the garage, “Hey Doc, take a look at this!” The cardiologist, a bit surprised walked over to where the mechanic was working on the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and said, “So Doc, look at this engine. I opened its heart, took the valves out, repaired or replaced anything damaged, and then put everything back in, and when I finished, it worked just like new. So how is that I make $30,000 a year and you make a million when you and I are doing basically the same work?” The cardiologist paused, leaned over, and then whispered to the mechanic, “Try doing it with the engine running.”

Amended returns cannot be e-filed. Probably never will. Use the last amended return as original then make changes. No need to tell them it is an amend of an amend. If the brokerage statement changes do not result in a tax change of $100 or more, I would not amend.

I joined Linkedin hoping to track down some former co-workers. Found one that I worked closely with and one who remembered me, but I didn't remember him. About two years ago, I invited one person I remembered as one of the best accountants, but she didn't respond until just a few days ago. The problem with Linkedin is that it is primarily a tool for people looking for a job. I get recruiters who try to connect with me, but I don't accept their invitations. I probably should delete my account since i see very little benefit from itl

Oh Please, Tom! I just turned 75 on Satuday. Anyway, I did find you on LinkedIn.

It's ok, Eric, I've done that too, mainly because I use it seldom, although like Tom I do find some of the posts very interesting. Feel free to ignore mine.

  I understand the benefit of LinkedIn, I'm just universally antisocial.  I have received email notifications about requests from people who are members of this forum, and that's the only reason I mentioned it.  I feel a little guilty when I ignore them.

Enjoy!! http://fellowshipoftheminds.com/2014/06/22/cats-napping-in-places-that-dont-even-seem-possible/
