Deer, Japan
Photograph by Angie Sin,
Deer in Nara, Japan, are revered as holy messengers of God and are
allowed to roam freely. They are well known for their bowing gestures
for food.

terrific photo - wondering about the hydro lines, but family used to have
a cottage in ontario where one could see this sort of photo, too -
in the middle of nowhere.

being missing the trivia, darn - thanks to all who have posted the info
wishing everyone a great day

What is a BlackBerry?

the new weapon of choice for some in england

[NatureBug]

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a futile trip,
That started as a simple errand
With a car we're trying to flip.

The call came in on the 401,
It was big to say the least.
A international partnership,
From here to the Middle East.

The weather started getting rough,
The signal kept getting tossed.
Then as the rain came teeming down
My BlackBerry signal was lost.

No phone, no text, no internet;
Not a single utility.
Like Elmo camping by the Grand,
as primitive as can be.

I set my phone down at the counter of
A Bell Mobility.
"This phone has been replaced today
with a brand new smart LG."

"No it hasn't." "Yes it has." "No it hasn't."
"Yes it has, It's right here in your file."
"I didn't upgrade, check and you'll see
That I've only had this for a while."

So Tech Support came on the line,
As helpful as can be.
"Of course your BlackBerry doesn't work,
You have a new LG."

Someone bought a phone, someone else screwed up,
And assigned it to my number.
So, simple, right, just change it back,
And end my data slumber.

Au contraire, mon fraire - that would be fair,
But way too freakin' easy.
"We have to speak with the sales agent."
I started getting queasy.

So somewhere in Iqaluit,
Or Twilingate or Moose Factory,
Someone has a new LG
That they find satisfactory.

Driver's licence, VISA card,
And a little DNA,
Convinced the diligent cellphone cops
That I was who I say.

Onward I soared, my phone restored,
With no apology.
But wait, this faux renewal will
Reset my chronology.

So join us here next time, my friends,
When I'm due a new phone,
With Tech Support,
Supervisor too,
The Sales Agents, gee they're swell,
Jim Balsillie,
The lucky stiff with the new LG,
Here at good old Ma Bell.

I love your ditti PSells but the story is sad. Screams frustration that most of us have experienced. I was walking Austin last night and saw this while I was stooping and scooping and wondered why Ma Bell was stamped on a sewer grate. Now I know.

Morning all!!!....so sorry to take so long to check in after the wedding...let's just say Sunday was a tad rocky, then a crapload of will/estate/banking/phonecalls took up Monday and Tuesday, and Tuesday was band practice....aarrghhh!!!.I hate being that busy all at once!!
....SOOOOOOOOO!!!!!....allow me to dish about Saturday....oh, and thank you all so much for the prayers and rain dances....it rained just a little bit after it got dark where we were, and it had poured buckets south of where we were... location, location, location was key, we were at the right place to avoid getting wet...YAY!!....

....Alyshia was absolutely GORGEOUS, as you can imagine (I will try and post a couple of pics, dunno how successful I will be tho).....the ceremony went off without a hitch, the minister was pretty laid back and kept things light....it was a fabulous setting to have a wedding, at the groom's parents' horse farm...kind of a rolling landscape, and loads of room....
.....we sat on the other side of the dance floor to where her mother was sitting ( I'll get to her in a minute), dinner was served, and the speeches began...the MC had a cordless microphone, so some people went up onto the dancefloor to read, some (like me) read standing up at their table....some people just winged what they were saying, and others read theirs ( like I did).....I didn't rush, I spoke clearly, no tears, and I didn't mess it up anywhere, so I was quite pleased it went well...
....the music began, and the bar was opened...the music was a lot of country music type stuff, and line dances, etc.....some AC/DC was played, but "Thunderstruck" was vetoed, as per the bride and groom....I had enough to drink that I got up and danced a few times ( part of what I paid for in pain the next day, and into Monday....LOL!!!)...all in all, it was a great day....

...now for the part you have all been waiting for.....all about her mother...hehehe!!!
....well, let me start off by saying what she had on...she wore a full length purple velour dress.....full length?....velour???....for a summer garden wedding?!?!?.....all I can figure is that she had to hide those tree trunk legs of hers.....dunno how many Barney the dinosaur stuffed animals were sacrificed for their pelts...she looked like a fat purple pillow.....
.....the inappropriateness continued, when she got up to do her speech....all about about Alyshia being such a wonderful baby, she had to have more babies cos she was such fun ( HA!...she had more babies so she didn't have to go to work, and daycare would have been ridiculous)...at the end of the speech, she also made a very brief mention of my brother and my dad not being here.....um....WTF?!?!....a mention of my brother, maybe...but my dad?!??!....she had absolutely no right to mention him at all.....again, inappropriateness abounded, and I was slightly furious....fortunately, a few more drinks helped calm me down...

....so that's the poop on the wedding....I have attached 5 pics, I think....dunno if I did it right, we'll see when this shows up....if it doesn't work, or if the pics are huge, apologies in advance.....thanks for reading all of this, I know, I have been known to write novels on here..... ...TR
