Musing on 2008 and all it may bring

Posted on January 2, 2008 at 5:29pm 0 Comments

Hi, I am not in the habit of writing a blog. My son is, though, so I have a feel for the genre. He is 23 tomorrow, and has a healthy following for his blog, healthy enough anyway for the Google ads to eventually pay for his webhosting bills, so that's nice. I might even give you the link to his blog later..

Later in the month I am hoping to be flying off to Beijing to visit his sister ( my daughter) who is teaching English at a university close to the Olympic stadium that looks like a…

I live near Tampa, Florida, which is about halfway down the panhandle on the Gulf side of the state.

no, I wasn't offended at all, simply fascinated at the idea of alligators living so close, and being so potentially dangerous if people encouraged them. I can well imagine how tempting it must be to throw food to an alligator, and can understand how this leads to confrontations.. interestingly, our dogs are still convinced that alligators are around.. if a log floats down the river, the dogs go absolutely mad, barking at the log in a terrified manner, they must have some sort of "race memory" of confrontations !

I hope I did not offend your sensibilities with my lasted comment regarding alligators. The truth is, many more people hunt and eat alligator than the reverse. Aggressive alligators are shot. People eat alligator for dinner at Skipper's Smokehouse. It is really quite sad for the alligators, who can't help that some unthinking person fed them a steak.

Fascinating! Are you somewhere in the Southern States ? I'm in England, in the Midlands. We have no dangerous animals around us at all, except perhaps adders, most people go their whole lives without seeing one..

It is safer to canoe in the wintertime, when the alligators are more sluggish, and many people do. Alligators generally avoid people, unless people feed them. They are more docile than crocodiles. If you feed an alligator, the alligator will think humans mean food. Then, when they see a person, they will eat a dog, a cat, occasionally a very small child, or attack the person. Feeding an alligator or showing it to a child just isn't too smart. It also is not smart to mess with young alligators, because their mothers are protective. I just mind my own business and the alligators mind theirs. I lived near a canal with twelve foot alligators not eight feet from my front door about a year ago, and I was never attacked.

A knol on building canoes sounds interesting. I have a friend who wants to rehabilitate a canoe. I believe it is made out of fiberglass. Another friend has an old wooden canoe hanging over the door of her former antique shop.

It sounds like you have a lot to offer knolstuff. Also, the wildlife you have sounds like you live in a rural area. We have neighborhood wildlife (raccoons, possums, snapping turtles, snakes, hawks, wood ducks, mallards, skogies, anhingas,egrets and wading birds). There aren't any alligators in the pond, so the ducks do pretty well. There are alligators around this area, though. The little garden spots are full of lizards and amphibians, and squirrels and songbirds visit sometimes. The lizards especially like living around the aloe.

Hi John,

A Happy New Year to you. I just got a letter from West Ewell the other day. What is your knol going to be about?

Hi John,
Thank you for the wonderful advise. I was indeed badly burnt during the Asian Financial Crisis. It was not pleasant at all.

I knew it order to fight fear, we have to learn how to make the fear become our friend and to live along with it....

Sarawak has not been truly developed on the whole. It is still a nice place to be with if you like nature. Nice coastline and bountiful of greens. I would like to travel there too.....one day.

Regards

Artistic Vision

Posted by Stacy Esch on November 6, 2023 at 8:15pm 10 Comments

Is an artist's "vision" primarily a product of experience or imagination? I don't want to pursue the simple answer that it's both. Is it primarily one or the other, of if it's just plain old both, how do they interact to create an imaginary world?

Is it true that some people have more artistic vision than others, or is this kind of seeing equally available to all?

Trying to find treatment.

In the beginning of August 2008 I was doing great. I went to the gym 3 times a week for 3 hours each time. I had lost weight and had a nice tone coming. I was nicely tanned with some help of the tanning beds. I rode my motorcycle back and forth to work and to the gym. In the middle of August a leg press came down on top of my head while i was trying to get it reset to the proper location so I would be able to use the equipment. I got very dizzy and had to go home, that was the end of my…

Consider everything you are going to eat for the entire day. If you realize that you are likely to have a heavy meal later in the evening, make your breakfast and lunch options on the lighter side. Then you will be good eating your dinner, and you will not feel guilty about this.
