Retro Music 55 — beetleypete

Hard to believe it is almost 53 years ago that I heard this record on my car radio. It had the feel of Motown, but was by someone I had never heard of before. Off I went to the shop to buy the single, and as I only remembered the title, I was glad that […]

Let’s save the wildlife – Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus) — Myrela

The Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus) is a monk seal belonging to the family Phocidae. As of 2015, it is estimated that fewer than 700 individuals survive in three or four isolated subpopulations in the Mediterranean, (especially) in the Aegean Sea, the archipelago of Madeira and the Cabo Blanco area in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean. […]

Smitty | Still in Japan — Pacific Paratrooper

Mother Nature Threw Us a Curveball, but What Is She Trying To Say to Us?

From Behind the Pen

Last week, I think practically everyone experienced some unprecedented changes in their weather patterns. Places that are typically cold this time of the year experienced early summer temperatures. Other areas that usually experience warm climates got a shot of wintry temperatures and precipitation. We see representations of nature becoming confused with such an unseasonal change, like flowers sprouting now instead of their usual arrival at the end of March or early April. (I’m not referring to flowers and plants growing in a greenhouse environment). This isn’t normal from my vantage point.

I had to mow our lawn last week because new blades of grass took off growing when we typically expect to see the seasonal shades of green begin to sprout near the end of next month. Our temperature was freezing one day and the next day shot up to the mid to upper 80s. Huh? Of course, I think…

Which is Word?

Coisas da SIL

Se você pudesse banir para sempre uma palavra, qual seria? Por quê?

A palavra que eu gostaria de banir se possível fosse é “IDIOTA”.
Não tolero ela no meu vocabulário. Ela me enche de revolta e não suporto quando escuto. Doem aos meus ouvidos quando proferidas.
Está palavra me soa como insulto. E já fui insultada. Já me proferiram e ter que escuta foi muito difícil.

The word I would like to ban if possible is “IDIOT”.
I don’t tolerate her in my vocabulary. It fills me with revolt and I can’t stand it when I hear it. They hurt my ears when uttered.
