The Numbers Game #80, Please Play Along, July 7, 2025
Welcome to “The Numbers Game #80” Today’s number is 201. To play along, go to your photos file folder and type that number into the search bar. Then post a selection of the photos you find that include that number and post a link to your blog in my Numbers Game blog of the day. If instead of numbers, you have changed the identifiers of all your photos into words, pick a word or words to use instead, and show us a variety of photos that contain that word in the title. This prompt will repeat each Monday with a new number. If you want to play along, please put a link to your blog in comments below. Here are my contributions to the album.

Simply Red for July Squares
OMG!!!
In a bottle of Mescal labelled “Alacran.”
If you haven’t read my “Most Original Gift” blog, go HERE and read it first.
I decided to research whether people actually drank the mezcal that is bottled with scorpions (and in my case a snake as well) and I just read this:
The scorpions are added live, and they release the venom into the mezcal as they die. It is used medically to relieve a cough or used topically for muscle pain.
