A flock of ten flamingoes have met a brutal end at a zoo in Eskilstuna in eastern Sweden after a curious anteater broke into their compound and clawed them to death, leaving a further five birds nursing injuries.

Yellow and pink make orange, right?

Rename the book "A Glockenspiel Orange".

[Darksheare]

That would be my one ex girlfriend.
How I survived I don’t know.

[Darksheare]

Yeah.
Of course, having a man portable teleFRAG for dealing with moles in the yard would be fun too.

” Rename the book “A Glockenspiel Orange”.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.........

[NicknamedBob]

I’m getting pretty good at thinking up names for books.

The problem is all that stuff that has to go into it after that.

[stephenjohnbanker]

That is MY problem too!

Pass me the beef with broccoli

What did I miss?

Have you taken up writing? I thought you just ran a money printing press.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I was going to write a book about my travels in Asia, but never got started. I guess one is either is a writer, or is not.

[NicknamedBob]

"I guess one is either is a writer, or is not."

Wrong. Everyone is a writer, (potentially).

One either writes, or one does not. That's what makes the difference.

Write your book. Re-writing can be done at any time.

[stephenjohnbanker]

You sold me. I’ll take another crack at it.

[NicknamedBob]

Everyone’s writing can be improved, too.

Write it first. Improve it later.

.

Besides, the act of writing, like any exercise, improves your ability to do it. As John Wayne said, “Nobody can say anything about our wrists!”

[stephenjohnbanker]

I actually co-wrote a couple of screenplays whe I was a kid. That was 35 years ago, though ;-)

[NicknamedBob]

You’re still a kid, kid.

I know how old you are.

Unlike California. It’s The Cereal State. The Land of Fruits, Nuts and Flakes.

You should have seen San Francisco on Sunday. Or better not. It's become a bit more normal on weekdays. But I will be be outtahere before the next weekend sweeps ashore.

FWIW, some of my Canadian colleagues are saddened.
