Bull distraction….
If you are ever chased by a bull, and throw something on the ground behind you (as you are running away) the bull will stop momentarily to check it out, giving you a little extra time to get away. A hat or coat will suffice if you don't want to lose your notebook.

While lying inthe sun, open the notebook and spread across your eyes for protection.
Make a small paper airplane to deliver a message to a comely lass or lassette or even to Lassy.
Swatting the dog as she tries to "play" with the chickens.
Open half way and tuck the back half into your shirt pocket, while letting the front half hang over your pocket, so friends will ask you,
"What the heck that BEET is doing, with a halo on it?"
Then you can tell them it's a "Saturn Thingie" and confuse the daylights out of all of them, including yourself.
Jot down chicken names:)..I like Festus for my next Rooster from Festus Haggan on Gunsmoke.
In an "emergency", use a page to blot your newly applied lipstick.

1. Jot down that recipe for Turducken while at the doctor's office.
2. Write down the new church visitors names as soon as they are out of sight, so you don't have to ask their names AGAIN.
3. Stocking stuffers! (Christmas stockings, that is.)
Use it to jot down info you receive from the phone calls or voicemail messages you receive at home, work or on your smartphone. Even though I have an iPhone I still keep a notebook in my pocket to transcribe caller's name, number etc. A low tech solution in a high tech world. :)
