It seems like a shorter than usual week (it was with Memorial Day), so I’m tossing in a Friday Filler video and a #DDJ below the break that is sure to make most of us smile.
A Friday Filler photo emulating TV’s “M*A*S*H” characters
RichC | May 19, 2023
As a long time fan of the long running television series “M*A*S*H,” I could help but be impressed by a photo making its way around social media (probably something to do with my age). This is an impressive group of young look-alikes posing for an eerily similar photo (I’m keeping my eyes open for the […]
Friday Filler: Did someone ask the gardener to smile?
RichC | March 24, 2023
Who among us wouldn’t smile back at this unique plant? Very unusual looking to say the least? Although Friday Filler — or is it Filler Friday(?) — isn’t really a thing on MyDesultoryBlog, it does tend to be a way for to fill space on Friday with a Filler Foto when there’s no time to write or post. […]
Friday Filler: Flyover images of mountains on Pluto #space
RichC | January 27, 2023
As a boy growing up enamored with the NASA Apollo program and going to the moon in the 1960s, I’m still a little peeved at Pluto’s demotion from planet status. Nevertheless, I’m amazed at the New Horizon spaceship’s video flying over the mountains of Pluto. Amazing and a worthwhile Friday Filler.
Friday Filler: Even crabs hate getting sand in their eyes
RichC | September 9, 2022
Who likes getting sand blown in their eyes at the beach … not even crabs.
Friday Filler: Photos like this bring peace and tranquility
RichC | August 26, 2022
Another “too lazy to blog” Filler Friday post. Instead I will fill this space with a photo that brings me peace and tranquility. Who wouldn’t mind hanging a hammock in the shade and pretending there wasn’t a care in the world (where is this?)?

If you are on social media, you likely have already watched this shared video of a couple of ambitious and obviously hardworking guys using their skills to build a below ground level sanctuary.
Tech Friday-ish: Van Gogh virtual world artwork filler
RichC | May 27, 2022
Although I appreciate the talent of artists in all mediums and have plenty of artwork in our home, I’m not sure where this Vincent van Gogh “virtual world” art fits in??? Maybe it is just fitting for the blog?
Friday Filler: An interesting eye-brain negative afterimage
RichC | April 1, 2022
These illustrations make the rounds by email and social networking every so often and do so because they are interesting to naturally inquisitive humans … and in my case make for a blogworthy Friday Filler and “fool your mind” on April Fools’ Day post. This is one that cognitive psychology refers to as the Negative […]
New Year’s Eve Friday Filler Photo: Make 2022 better than 2021
RichC | December 31, 2021
As we wind down 2021 and close the book on a stressful COVID19 filled year … here’s hoping next year will bring an end to the pandemic. If that is not going to be the case, then let’s hope the Omicron Variant isn’t as deadly as the Delta Variant … and that we will keep […]
Friday Filler: Tickling the ivories (a TikTok video snippet)
RichC | November 12, 2021
A few times before, I’ve highlighted unlikely … or maybe just surprising piano playing talent on My Desultory Blog … and this Friday Filler video is no different. The first was Jacob Toliver in an Ohio hardware store and that post still makes me smile.

RichC | October 22, 2021
Just a very short 10-second video slow-motion snippet as a Friday Filler post and to say “good morning.” /p>
Friday Filler humor: Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force
RichC | October 15, 2021
Who doesn’t enjoy a funny military rivalry video clip. HA!
Tech Friday filler: Mobile Internet traffic worldwide
RichC | September 24, 2021
Saved an interesting graphic posted on social media this past week. It is interesting to look at and contemplate how we use our smartphones and tablets … it also works as a Tech Friday filler.
Friday Filler: Mesmerized by a Kinetic Sculpture
RichC | September 17, 2021
Saw a bit of impressive wind sculpture art; it makes for an excellent Friday Filler post.
Friday Filler Video: This dad make surfing with kids look easy
RichC | July 30, 2021
Professional surfer Billy Kemper — and his son Lion — surfing together. Surfer Billy Kemper says he glimpsed at death after a wave broke his pelvis in half (CNN) – It was a tiny error in judgement, but within seconds he realized that the consequences could be potentially life threatening. “That wave sucked me up […]
Friday Filler: Count your Blessings #video
RichC | December 13, 2019
When you see something like this, you realize how suddenly life can end. Thankfully, in this situation, all survived … but it is a good reminder to thank God for each day and be sure to tell those in your life how much you love them. Yet you do not know what tomorrow will […]
