End of a Streak - 10/4/23

Sometimes the end of a streak is a sad occasion, but our beloved Minnesota Twins ended one yesterday that we were very happy to see end.  After going 18 straight playoff games (that's dating back to 2004) without a win they beat the Blue Jays.  I figure that's worth celebrating.  So let's head to the UK where you can check out a nifty little geo-art and learn a little bit about:

Turduckens - 10/2/23

Today we travel to California for a brand new puzzle involving:

Turduckens

Well, I felt like a real dope when I realized that in my efforts to get ahead of things for the weekend I had actually ended up sending yesterday's post early.  It's becoming very obvious that I have too much on my plate these days to keep doing this effectively.  This isn't the only evidence that I need to cut back on some things ... on Friday I was so tired by the time I left work that I left my purse in my office and when I finally realized what I had done, I had to make an hour's round-trip drive back to get it on Saturday night.  I am going to do my best to keep going through the end of the year, but there may be more reruns than usual.  After 13 years I may have to call it a day at the first of the year.  But if there is anyone (or more than one person) who would be interested in trying to help me keep the blog going, please let me know.  It would be hard to let it go, and I would be disappointed, but we've had a good run.

I've got a few things going on this week, so I'm letting my guest puzzle-picker Ol'Fogie take the reins for today's post. He writes:

Probably everyone reading this blog is somewhat a fan of Pi. I hide a cache every Pi Day in celebration and even have a couple of Pi shirts! BUT, most of us forget that other Greek symbols have their proper place in mathematics. Not just another pretty face, Phi is also irrational and has no repeating pattern of decimal digits. Which leads us to…
