A pair of white cockatoos  flew down the valley this morning .

that seems pretty exciting to me.

 

Today while driving I spat out the window,

but it was closed, and the loogie landed high up.

It slowly slid down,

but it was cold outside and

the slime trail started to freeze.

I wondered if the main ball

would freeze before 

it got to the bottom.

I checked it a few times

while I I drove.

Then I arrived at

the restaurant and

forgot about it.

 

now that's Boring.

Wiki describes it as   "  American surrealist comedy-drama film "

 

The part I liked the best is when they are lost in a wilderness/forest and set up a camp and  learn to survive there  .... if only they had gone for a little walk ..... into nearby suburbia   .

They're rioting in Africa. They're starving in Spain.
There's hurricanes in Florida and Texas needs rain.

 

The whole world is festering with unhappy souls.
The French hate the Germans. The Germans hate the Poles.

 

Italians hate Yugoslavs. South Africans hate the Dutch.
And I don't like anybody very much!

 

But we can be tranquil and thankful and proud
For man's been endowed with a mushroom shaped cloud.

 

And we know for certain that some lovely day
Someone will set the spark off and we will all be blown away.

 

They're rioting in Africa. There's strife in Iran.
What nature doesn't do to us will be done by our fellow man.

Chess is boring to non-chess playing on-lookers none the less there is beauty in chess.

Duck soup ?

 

When I was in NZ a Maori  guy offered to show me the traditional  Maori way of catching a duck . Cool, I'll be in that !  Expecting to learn some new craft .... weaving a trap .... or some new revelation  , I eagerly agreed .

 

We sneaked into the rushes , keeping low and silent .   He had a  hessian bag and out of that he took a rat trap, baited it with bread and tied a string to it . He floated it out , duck pecked at it , snap !  Pulled the line in and stuffed the duck in the bag .
