Oh. That's logical. Well, I have chores to do today. No further guesses. I only checked in to make sure I didn't guess correctly. |

Hint: Newton chose the Dorian mode as his model for the color wheel because he liked its symmetry - i.e., its two half-steps are equidistant from the middle, unlike the other modes. |
Salty Wrote : orange (red/yellow combination) and green.
Mr Blue Wrote : blue and indigo
Rusty Wrote : green and indigo.
So if all are half correct :
It seems that this leaves indigo and orange |

Okay. Dogs. The Queen of England has Welsh Corgis. There are two sub breeds. One traditionally has docked tails. The other does not.
What are the long-tailed Corgis called?" |
We have what is probably the most successful off-leash dog area in the world near me. It is called Marymoor Park, it is 40 acres in size and on a decent weekend day well over a thousand people show up with their dogs. I went for a walk there yesterday and as on any good weather Sunday, there were a couple of hundred dogs there. This time I noticed the Corgis more and sure enough, there was a Cardigan (long-tailed) Corgi in the park! |

Any Australian that lives in the country could name the animal that left this present outside my parents place.
What animal could it be ? |

I can't recall what kangaroo crap looks like, but it seems an unlikely spot for a kangaroo or wallaby. Big for an echidna.
Womabt ? |

Yes - it is a Wombat present.

That was an interesting article on wombats.
Jerome Geils of the J. Geils Band died today.
Name anybody else who was in The J. Geils Band. |

Back on the subject of Wombats, I assumed they were reclusive and stayed away from people and buildings.
Do people or animals ever fall into collapsed burrows? |

At one time the lead singer was Peter Wolf. |

Dogs get killed in Wombat burrows - as they chase the Wombat down it - the wombat - slinks to the floor- and when the dog is on top of the wombat - it stands up - crushing the dog against the roof of the burrow.
So far - never heard of a person injury - at my parents place - loads of Wombats - but they tend to keep their burrows away from noisy areas - which I suppose makes sense..
Still though - they poop square - |

I used to listen to J Geils band A LOT! Magic Dick was my favorite! I saw them live in St. Louis in 1974. They were the best party band ever. |

Correct! Your turn, Roland.
J. Geils was the lead guitar, Magic Dick played harmonica ( he was my favorite, too. ), Danny Klein was the bassist. Seth Justman and Stephen Jo Bladd were the other two, but at the moment I don't recall which was the drummer and which was keyboard player. I was lucky enough to see the Freeze Frame tour the week the album hit number one, but "Give it to ME" & "Love Stinks" aside, I think I was the only one on the floor who knew the words to the older songs. |

When I saw them in 1974, they came out on stage and Magic Dick had his harmonicas in a briefcase shaped like a penis. They were great but played way too fast, almost twice the speed as the records. Might have been drugs! |
