At the sight of a first spray can or cutty knife or whatever might be used to deface anything I'd say have the Perps arrested!
This was forwarded to me and I thought it quite cute. Not sure which dog I thought was cuter. I can't imagine my dog sitting long enough to accomplish something like this.
Haven't seen any...

This is the Mexican farmers version of a jamoosa. This particular ones name was Tequilla.
I hardly ever saw Tequilla standing. He seemed a pretty relaxed and laid back guy happy to lay in the...

I actually believe he is a brahma bull too. The farmer fellow didn't speak english so I couldn't ask him what the bull was. I smiled and gestured could I take a photo and he nodded sure and pointed...
I'm not sure if these are 'functionally' used by most Mexicans but these were definitely put out for all the tourists. They are the mirrors situated by the bathrooms.
Most of the bathrooms were...

One of the days I was in Mexico I went to Isla Mujieres which means (Island of Women). Small tourist village and this dolphin training enclosure. I have to admit I'm really of a mixed mind about...
Just mulling another topic but how many of us DO sneak a peek at all those cheapy newpapers that are usually up at the checkout of grocers telling of the latest escapades of the 'rich and famous?'

Me either, never gossip ;) If we all didn't like gossip we wouldn't be watching the Coronation Streets of TV. The 'soaps' thrive on people living vicariously through gossip and inuendo.
Hola (hello)! Am back and the holiday was super fantastic. My very first time to this area of Mexico, the Yucatan which is on the Caribbean side of Mexico.
Weather was good, even for off-season....

It is another on my bucket list and after Egyptology the Aztec/Toltec/Mayan cultures fascinate me and I will read or watch anything to do with their history. look foeward to...
Yesterday I attended the eye clinic at our local hospital for my six monthly check up and was surprised to see a few changes. Instead of just reporting to reception and booking in, which is usually...

I had a hospital appointment on Monday and I am sure I noticed a board with a list of words all in different languages......probably just said 'EXIT' for all I know.
Heard on the morning news today that there is a move afoot to eliminate the teaching of cursive writing from the school curriculums. The theory goes that as we're so technologically oriented these...
I was in at the doctor's this past week and for the very time they wanted to do a blood draw to determine my Vit D levels. I kinda thought no problem cause I'm out and about almost every day getting...

Thank you Jayway - and I didn't realize I had a V.D. problem 'til you pointed it out!
To counteract my V.D. problem I'm taking 55,000mg of V.D. for the next 8 weeks. 1 tab/week for 8 weeks and then...

Was with my gf and we came upon this 'flower' motif on the side of a building. We started talking about it and got into a discussion of the Tudor Rose. Is this what a Tudor rose looks like? Does it...
Last post
Ahhhhhhh neither one of us was right. I thought it had 6 petals - at least fewer than 8. Am not sure if most people were asked if they could or couldn't identify a proper Tudor Rose.
Ok - I can't figure it out. As a teenager I studied Latin for 4 yrs. Had it as a third language during my High School years. It was an okay subject, I could memorize so I got decent grades in the...

Wow this will turn into a whole can of worms, although I did not study Latin, I can usually get my head around Roman numerals. It does have some strange rules and also variations of how something may...
Went down to Portland this past Saturday with my gf which is about 150 miles south of Seattle on the west coast of the USA. Portland is known as the City of Roses. It is an older city established...

Nice pictures LLL, :) I suppose that anything becomes historic within the context of its own history, so if that history goes back 150 years, then something of that age must therefore be historic,...
