More Crazy Laws #65 is this week’s Mystery Question. Sixty-five weeks. It’s hard to believe there are even more crazy laws out there!
And now for this week’s photo and verse. This is one of my favorite bird photos…except maybe for a video I took a couple of years ago of two cardinals at my window. You can see that here. And I love the verse I used. In fact, that whole section in Matthew 6 is good to read if you deal with worry.
Now for last week’s More Crazy Laws #64. As usual, three are true and one is false. Can you guess which one?
- It’s against the law here to let your pet flamingo into a barber shop. (AK)
- Here’s it against the law to carry a concealed slingshot without a license. (AK)
- Kids can’t build a snowman taller than they are while on school property here. (AK)
- You can’t drive without clothes on here.
And the answer is…#4. I’m still wondering about #1…Alaska has trouble with flamingos?
Now for this week’s More Crazy Laws #65. As usual, three are true and one is false. Can you guess which one?
- Here it’s illegal to sell silverware on Sundays.
- You can go to jail here if you promise to marry a woman while trying to seduce her.
- Leaving your shopping cart in the middle of the parking lot here will incur a fine–so be sure to return it to the corral.
- Did you know it was illegal to remove a railroad from a town with more than 500 people here?

“I think I’m a typo,” hee-hee! I’m going with #1 this week. It sounds the oddest of all four to me.
Author
They are ood, aren’t they, Priscilla! We’ll see…and I thought you’d like the meme. 🙂
I like the typo too.
#1 for me too.
Author
Me, too, Mary. We’ll see next week if it’s #1.
#4
I love it when I get to see the male cardinal feed his mate!
Author
I love that video, Linda. I have to start working in my office again so I can see my cardinals! We’ll see next week if it’s #4.

We’ll see, BN!
Nice photo. I’m going with #3.
Author
Thanks, Diana! We’ll see next week if it’s #3.
I am going with number 3.
Author
We’ll see, Sharon!
I always love the surprise of the upcoming photos, Pat. This one brought a big smile along with sound effects. That’s a great shot of the cardinal, too. I think they’re my favorite bird. Perfect Scripture.
Going with #1 and so is James ( Charles 😉 ) 🙂
Author
They’re my favorite bird, Barbara…except maybe for the little wrens that feed near my deck…or the hummingbirds…we’ll see next week if it’s #1.
I’m going w/ #3 also, the shopping cart, though as always these are dillies!
Author
We’ll see, Delores…they are dillies, aren’t they!
I love cardinals. The bird was the mascot for my high school and college. The verse is a good reminder for us worry warts.
The Alaskan flamingos must be the ones you stick in your yard. 🙂 Ugh. Reminds me of the plastic saguaro cactus I once saw in someone’s lawn in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Double ugh.
OK. Now for the crazy laws.
#1. Selling silverware on Sundays. Don’t see anything wrong with that.
#2. Seduction with the promise of marriage. Yeah, I can see that law.
#3. Not putting your shopping cart away once you’ve unloaded it into your vehicle. Definitely should be a law.
#4. Illegal to remove a railroad from a town of over 500 people. Seems like a low bar.
I’m going to say you made up #3. Hard to enforce without the parking lot police.
Love the rabbit typo line.
Author
As always Tim, your logic is good…we’ll see if it’s #3 next week. I love the cardinals!
Love the cardinal photo and scripture!

Me, too, Caryl! We’ll see…
The cardinal photo and video are very nice. I enjoy cardinals as well but the woodpecker that hangs out at our feeder on the deck is fun to watch crack the seeds on the post too.
I am guessing #3 this week.
Author
My woodpeckers never get that close, Gloria. That would be fun to watch. We’ll see if it’s the popular #3 next week…

Hi Patricia…we’ll see…
#3

Hi Barbie D! Number 3 is popular…could be…
Love the photo and verse!
The typo made me giggle.
Now for the hard part…just for kicks, I’ll go with #1.
Have a great week!
Author
Hi L! The typo made me laugh, too. We’ll see next week if it’s #1.
Since three are real each week, that’s 195 crazy laws so far. I wonder what the total number of all crazy laws in our nation comes to?
I haven’t seen any cardinals yet this year, but our neighbors had a large number of robins in their front yard last Sunday morning. Our state bird is the cardinal. That’s a good picture. I enjoyed the video. I love the way you match up pictures and verses.
I’m choosing #2 as the law that was made up. It sounds like that one should be a law which makes me doubt that it is. The others seem unnecessary, ridiculous, or impossible to enforce. I think one thing that bothers me more than shopping carts left scattered all around are the drivers who park in the spaces with the diagonal lines between handicapped spaces, intended for people who need room to unload a wheelchair.
Author
That makes me furious, Edward. My nephew was in a wheelchair and it was always hard to get a parking sapce because of that very reason! We’ll see next week if it’s #2…
#1 is too funny!
Author
I thought so, too, Shelia!
I love cardinals so I really enjoyed the photo and video this week.
I read the laws to my husband and he thinks #1 is made up. I couldn’t decide so I will go along with him.
Author
Well, Carolyn, we’ll see next week if your husband is right! 🙂
This week I’m going with #1.
I love the promise in this scripture you shared.
I will guess #1 this time.
Beautiful picture and very appropriate verse.
Author
Thanks, Paula! We’ll see next Tuesday if it’s #1.
Hmm…my vote goes to #4. Happy Valentine’s! – Emily
Author
We’ll see, Emily. Happy Valentine’s to you, too!
going with #4

Rosalyn, #4 is very popular! We’ll see…
