Todays Header Image

Today’s header Image is of a Cormorant, which is a bird that lives of fish because it relies on regular intakes of OMEGA 3. I have written a poem-slash-limerick about OMEGA 3:

A Man who liked Omega 3
also liked traveling for free.
When asked for his ticket
he replied double-quicket:

“I’m over sixty young man which means i have a freedom pass and don’t have to pay for journeys on public transport, and what’s more I’m pretty certain i’ve earned it too.”

Today’s header image represents Hubris and a general lack of perspective. The creature on the stem of my custard tree is not, as it may at first appear to the uneducated eye, a mosquito. I’m not sure of it’s genus. It may be a fruit fly. Whatever it is, it is not what it clearly imagines itself to be, which is King of the Twig.

It is the biggest of the animals that live on my custard tree, and it has broad hairy shoulders, but if I open the window and shoo it away it will be banished for ever.

Should I draw some conclusions about my own precarious position on this mortal coil, and gain a humbling perspective from my observations of the humble fruit fly?

.
No, fuck off, I’m King of the Twig.

Smart ass fruit fly.

shoo shoo, out the window with you.

Post script:

Hello. Some time after this badly unmoderated post, I have discovered that my Custard Tree, that I have gently tended since about 1998, is not, in fact, a Custard Tree, as it said on its label.
It is a Radermachera Sinica, a foliage plant.

You live and learn.

Forgotten Explorers – Remembered

In this section i would like to remember some explorers who have made significant contributions to the way we see the world. They handed the metaphorical baton of their findings to the next pioneering soul. They probably weren’t all very nice though. But some might have been. This is a serious factual section.

This is Salomon August Andreé, 1854-97. He was an engineer at the Stockholm Technical Institute and specialized in Balloons and Balloon Expeditions. After overcoming many funding difficulties he started a exhibition to the North Pole by hot air balloon in 1896 but had to wait for a south wind until the 11.7.1897. His expedition companions were Strindberg and Fraenkel. It was only in 1930 that their remains were found by seal hunters on the island Vito.

Vicious Things

There are no elephants. Not in the middle of town. But he further you get from the middle of the town the more elephants there are and the more guns you need.
