Well, we have some pretty nifty poets!
;) Thanks.
Good morning,
Ms Feather!
From another life and another time.
Night Patrol in Indian Country
Dark the night and dark the soul
slipping soft through shadows there
seeking in stilted silent stalk
the secrets hidden with care
Such is night and such is war
and so it has always been
the subtle silent soldiers task
to recon behind the lines now and then
Alone in darkness, alone with fear
still it must be done if to win
and so soundless struggle of mind
amid the savage nights silent din
Back before dawn, back before found
whispers spoken to tell the tale
and plans are changed as needs be
and another chance to fail
Intense the life, intense the stress
a different sort of man is forged
one who seeks the darkest place
where demons wait to gorge
Francis Bacon said, "Revenge is a
kind of wild justice, which the more man's
nature runs to, the more ought law to weed
it out."
Looking for tail? Seahorses, famed for their fidelity, are being put to the test by Britain's National Sea Life Centre. Tiny color-coded necklaces and logs of their mating behavior will help scientists determine if they actually live up to their reputation.
Talk about too much time on their hands....
LOL neat Seahorse though!
Busch baby: A 2-week-old white rhino hugs her mother's foreleg at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Fla.
Cute little rascal.
Jungle gym: Jambo mauls a new bungee ball in his pride's refurbished enclosure at Sydney's Taronga Zoo. The exhibit now more closely resembles the natural habitat of the African savannah -- except for the cat toys.
She is cute, isn't she...
Timberrr! Constable Mike Smith drops like a felled sapling after being zapped with a Taser gun by Sgt. Darrin Putt during a demonstration at Police College in Wellington, New Zealand. Officers plan to start using the nonlethal weapon Friday.
That should get their attention!
WOW, think I'll mind my ps and qs!
Busch Baby Rhino
I'm just a baby ma

I know your eye sight is not great
and who is that other lug
bumping buns with you

I sure hope I look like you!
I love it! LOL!
Pretty brave of the constable.....but good to know exactly what the result is of their actions.
We got 1/2 an inch, not great . . . but, it did fill all of my storage containers and, as "Hope Springs Eternal" I have Great Expectations of lots more . . . ;-)
Sure hope you do get lots more. We actually had a day without rain and pink sky tonight. YAY
Temps are still low but very high humidity.
Bestest girlfriend, stop around here if you get some time.
