"When life gives you flippers you make waves, right?" -- Karen Sota
Well the only thing that could possibly be better than private-eye fiction
are sea turtles. Humans have been around about 6 million years. Turtles
have been around for 200 million years. Unfortunately, they're having kind
of a tough go at it lately due to human civilization and a new virus out
there that's affecting them. Here's a quick link to several turtle hospitals.
Just click on the images and you'll get there. If you are a turtle hospital
or a turtle rescue organization, I will gladly post your link on this blog,
so just let me know.

I am here, at your blog, because I like it very much. I love the small poem about the fallen angel, it is very nice and funny, I laughed reading it a lot.
Kisses for you ... and if you need a better weather you can make a trip to any of Mexico´s beaches. You are going to be my guest of honor.

last month, though I still don't know exactly what that is."
It was always a blog that had a splendid movement. Now add "Impressive and even more Magnificent" and the movement becomes a manifestation of your considerable talent.
That's my opinion and I know what I'm talking about.
Glad you are better

there's guessing."
that's a rather tantalizing statement. you have trumped the sad existentialists. sartre, camus, kierkegaard, kafke, who all drove themselves and their contemporaries either totally nuts or suicidal.
they just couldn't reconcile their conditioning with their reason. so sad. but they did provide a stepping stone.
i like this line because it opens the question of the meaning of existence. which i hope will remain open forever. for everyone.
like that great mind einstein is quoted as saying... " answers are dead. questions are alive."
