REFLECTIONS

“Over the years you get to see what a struggle life is for most people, how tough it is, how easy it is to be judgmental and criticize and stand outside of situations and impart your wisdom and judgment. But over the decades I've got more tolerant of people's flaws and mistakes. Everybody makes a lot of them. When you're younger you feel: "Hey, this person is evil" or "This person is a jerk" or stupid or "What's wrong with them?" Then you go through life and you think: "Well, it's not so easy." There's a lot of mystery and suffering and complication. Everybody's out there trying to do the best they can. And it's not such an easy business.” - Woody Allen ORIGINAL LINK IS :  Running 'Cause I Can't Fly

I think this is a great idea.  Japan Railways put these pathways in to prevent the turtles from being run over by passing trains.

I found this article on an English news site that I'd like to share. "It was like fitting her with a turbo charger - she's going double the speed she used to," said owner Jude Ryder. "She uses her back legs to push herself along. She seems quite happy, but it's difficult to tell with a tortoise." "A 90-year-old tortoise..." The animal, called Mrs T, was facing a grim future after a rat chewed off her two front legs while she was hibernating, but her owners glued the wheels from a model aircraft onto her shell."

Here is the link:  PríncipeTito Blog The Portuguese site PrincipeTito has some great images.  Sometimes the images can be sexist but the images without the women are safe.  I'm sure some of the photos must be altered. I added some comments to the images.   ? This would work well for vacuum cleaners. This man is fearless. He was even fearless as a child. A future electric cargo truck, but where is the cargo carried?   Maybe it's next to the driver's seat? Here's something I can use.  I can't use chopsticks.   Maybe it's because of clumsiness or not enough practice. If I remove the spring from a clothes pin  and attach it to a pair of chopsticks it just might work.

Some icicles reached all the way down to the ground. We are still unable to leave the house after 3 days.  We're on the list to be dug out but it's going to take longer than expected. I took the photos through the screen door so they are less sharp.  I edited them to try improving the image. The day before the snow fell. The morning of the snow storm just before it came down.

I looked into more details about the Fibonacci number sequence after watching a TV series by a man who calls himself The Human Calculator. I knew about this before but I wanted to take another look. This was an interesting way to pass the time stuck at home during Snowstorm Jonas. Even DNA has a connection to this number sequence! Some people even claim it is God's "fingerprint". Here's the link for more examples of the Fibonacci number in nature: 15 Uncanny Examples of the Golden Ratio in Nature

Here's a way to get organized that I found on the web a few days ago. I've done well if I put what I use back in its own place instead of at random. I'm not too bad with this one even though I still manage to misplace things. This all seems too fussy for me.  I hate organizing my clothes. No comment.
