"Meet the first..."

 this beautiful bird walked up and stayed around for several minutes...i had no lizards to offer
 

 this is a piece of quartz...the gold miner types have pretty much smashed all the quartz above ground 

  i sit here looking at mr c. patel seek to convince congress that he can head up the federal bureau of investigation after listening to the commander in chief say he will only accept GENIUSES!!! on the federal payroll...we are in a world of hurt....crazy is the new normal perhaps...

i  have been watching a couple of good serial dramas on DVD..."Criminal Minds" is a pretty good crime show...but kind of depressing...these folks are a behavioral analysis unit...i think people are getting crazier by the minute...and no relief in sight...the other series is "Nero Wolfe" which is quite good and there are no unwashed people and everyone is dressed very well and the cars look great...i think this takes place in the 1950"s in the USA...i will say that every beautiful woman ends up dead...but always while the viewer is away...

i came across some great tunes on youtube..."It ain't my mama's broken heart" is a great video by a ms lambert i think and the never controversial ms nikki lane has a great video in which she sings and plays a beautiful guitar on her "Good Enough" video...never controversial...OK...also a great youtube musical presentation is Big Joe Williams "She left me a mule to ride"..great blues

i heard something about llamas as therapy animals...i worked around about 75 llamas everyday and i can recommend them for people who are too damned confident as they can be depended on to spit in your face for no apparent treason at every opportunity...now that's tough love!
