1. I guess it’s the hat! I follow people because they inspire me, because they make me laugh, because they are totally different, and it is great to read other peoples stories. I learn a lot by reading blogs, get other opinions and enjoy some great photographs. But for you Ralph, it’s definitely the hat! 🙂

     • #12) another other: I am following you Ralph because your blog is named Blue Fish Way. Blue fish are the only of their species still in existence, or extant. Extant also means projecting. In psychology, one projects when they attribute traits of one person on to another in order to subconsciously manifest unresolved issues from a past relationship. A person like that has issues. Sometimes I myself give issue, in one way or another, but I won’t get into that. I’m being evasive. Another word for evasive is slippery, it’s just my way, especially when I’m feeling blue. Fish can be slippery… Hope that answers your question 😉 Sage

     • Hi Sage. Thank you for your very deep reply…..what are you talking about?? 😉 The name Bluefish came about as I needed a username for a forum. I had a wind chime mobile thingy with a big blue lattice fish on it. So I took the name and brought it with me to this blog. Nice reply though Sage. Take care. Ralph 😀

45. I am quite new to your blog still, but definitely “diggin'”it. I dig the vibe of your writing, and yes, also because of the head-gear (is that a Panama hat?) looks as though it has a broad enough brim to give rides to at least eight squirrels at a time, which really wins me over- plus, I am reminded of Jack Hannah, or a character from PG Wodehouse. Is that really good? Not sure, but I dig it. Your blog really is TOO fun. And it is all because of our lovely Marsha Lee that I found this groovy place to hang. Cheers matie,

    • Hi Autumn Jade. Marsha is quite a girl, especially when unannounced she featured this post in her blog. Great idea, squirrel transport hat, you should see the size of my shoes !! I think of myself more of an Indiana Jones, but Jack Hannah is fine by me 😉 Thanks for coming over here. Ralph

      • Thanks for the compliment. I am borrowing some of these comments for my talk to Kiwanis tomorrow about blogging. I’ll give them back when I’m done. Anything else you want to say to the folks in CA? BTW If you mean Sons of the San Joaquin – Jack Hannah – he is a personal friend of mine. His dad, Lon, was a member of our little church in Ivanhoe, CA where my first husband pastored. At Lon’s 80th birthday the Hannah boys were singing, as usual, and came up with the idea, and they grew from there. We used to go to Joe Hannah’s restaurant every Sunday evening after church, and Lon would serenade whomever was in the restaurant with songs like “Sleeping at the Foot of the Bed.” So many, many, warm, lovely memories your comment brings to me, even if there is another Jack Hannah. There isn’t for me. 🙂

      • LOL but I like the hair! Either way. It looks wild long, and short it looks as though it is trying very hard not to look wild. 😉
