I spotted this Tortoise and his Human Pal taking an ocean-front walk along the cliffs of Palos Verdes California. One thing about California, you will usually find something interesting or unusual, even when you're not looking for it : )

The Tortoise:

Tortoises are "cold-blooded," meaning their body temperature varies with the surrounding environment. They are also herbivores, meaning they eat plants. Tortoises are found in a variety of habitats, including deserts, forests, grasslands, and swamps.

There are over 300 species of tortoises, and they come in a wide range of sizes. The smallest tortoise is the speckled padloper tortoise, which is only about 4 inches long. The largest tortoise is the Galapagos tortoise, which can grow to be over 150 pounds.

Tortoises are long-lived animals. Some species can live for over 100 years. The oldest known tortoise is a Galapagos tortoise named Jonathan, who is over 190 years old.

Here are some interesting facts about tortoises:

Tortoises have been around for over 200 million years.

The largest tortoise ever recorded was a Galapagos tortoise named "Johnathan" who weighed over 500 pounds and was over 190 years old.

Tortoises are very good at conserving water. They can go for long periods of time without drinking.

Tortoises are not very good swimmers.

Tortoises are very social animals and enjoy spending time with other tortoises.

Tortoises can be very affectionate and make great pets.

I can hold my breath

I can bite my tongue

I can stay awake for days

If that's what you want

Be your number one

I can fake a smile

I can force a laugh

I can dance and play the part

If that's what you ask

Give you all I am

I can do it

I can do it

I can do it

But I'm only human

And I bleed when I fall down

I'm only human

And I crash and I break down

Your words in my head, knives in my heart

You build me up and then I fall apart

Cause I'm only human

I can turn it on

Be a good machine

I can hold the weight of worlds

If that's what you need

Be your everything

I can take so much

'Til I've had enough

Young female Eastern Blue bird asking her dad for more food. I just watched him feed her, and I don't know what his thinking is. Is he tired, or just ignoring her, or just wondering what kind of mess he got him self into. They sure act like humans.

When the words

Weigh heavy on the heart

I am lost

And led only by the stars

Cage me like an animal

A crown with gems and gold

Eat me like a cannibal

Chase the neon throne

Breathe in, breathe out, let the human in (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh)

Breathe in, breath out, and let it in (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh)

Plants awoke, and slowly grow beneath the skin (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh)

So breathe in, breathe out, let the human in

The air is silk

Shadows form a grin

If I lose control

I feed the beast within

Cage me like an animal

A crown with gems and gold

Eat me like a cannibal

Chase the neon

Looking out

Across the night-time

The city winks a sleepless eye

Hear her voice

Shake my window

Sweet seducing sighs

Get me out

Into the night-time

Four walls won't hold me tonight

If this town

Is just an apple

Then let me take a bite

If they say, "Why? Why?"

Tell 'em that is human nature

Why, why does he do it that way?

If they say, "Why? Why?"

Tell 'em that is human nature

Why, why does he do it that way?

Reaching out

To touch a stranger

Electric eyes are everywhere

See that girl

She knows I'm watching

She likes the way I stare

If they say, "Why? Why?"

Just tell 'em that is human nature

Why, why does he do it that way?

If they say, "Why? Why?"

(Do you really like me to be around?)

Tell 'em that is human nature

Why, why does he do it that way?

I like livin' this way

I like lovin' this way

That way (The way it was.)

That way (The way it was.)

Looking out

Across the morning

The city's heart begins to beat

Reaching out

I touch her shoulder

I'm dreaming of the street

If they say, "Why? Why?"

Tell 'em that is human nature

Why, why does he do it that way?

If they say, "Why? Why?"

(Just tell me you like me to be around.)

Ooh, tell 'em

Why, why does he do it that way?

If they say, "Why? Why?"

Why, why does he do it that way?

If they say, "Why? Why?"

(Just tell me you like me to be around.)

Ooh, tell 'em

Why, why does he do it that way?

And they say, "Why? Why?"

Ooh, tell 'em

Why, why does he do it that way?

They say, "Why? Why?"

(Just tell me you like me to be around.)

Why, why does he do it that way?

I like livin' this way

The way

Tangara xanthocephala

(Saffron-crowned Tanager / Tángara coronada)

Saffron-crowned Tanager is a brightly colored tanager with a distinctive yellow head. This species occurs through the Andes from Colombia and Venezuela south to Bolivia, and occupies humid montane forests and secondary woodlands.

Due to human destruction of habitat, it is hypothesized that the population numbers are decreasing. Like most Tangara tanagers, the Saffron-crowned is sexually monomorphic.

our body is simple

what is complicated is our heads

so many wishes to fulfill

more and want more

Our head is simple isn't it

What's complicated is our mind

as vast as the universe

and we cannot guess every thought of a man

Our thoughts are simple

what is complicated is our feelings

who are always fighting to determine

a decision and a wish

We are simple humans aren't we?

which always complicates the state of the world

I am strong, I am weak

I am everything between

I am proud to be me

I am human

I am weird, I'm a freak

I am different, I'm unique

I will love who I please

I am human

You are just like me

Human Touch_Bruce Springsteen

You and me we were the pretenders

We let it all slip away

In the end what you don't surrender

Well the world just strips away

Girl, ain't no kindness in the face of strangers

Ain't gonna find no miracles here

Well you can wait on your blesses my darlin'

But I got a deal for you right here

I ain't lookin' for praise or pity

I ain't comin' 'round searchin' for a crutch

I just want someone to talk to

And a little of that Human Touch

Just a little of that Human Touch

Graffito at the harbour of Heraklion (Crete)

The eight-minute footage showing a white Minneapolis police officer slowly killing a black man has spread all around the world and caused an unprecedented outrage in lots of countries, not only in the US.

Last Thursday there was a demonstration against racism in Vienna, organized in connection with this horrible crime. The organizers had expected some 3,000 demonstrators, but eventually 50,000 demonstrators came (the number is an estimation given by the police).

Afterwards there was criticism, because covid-19 distance rules couldn't be followed in such a crowd. I didn't go there for fear of infection, and I suppose many others didn't take part in this demonstration for the same reason. Just imagine the crowd in the time without a pandemic!

I hope very much that all these demonstrations in the US and all over the world (the Vienna demonstration wasn't the only one outside the US) will be effective and lead to substantial changes and improvements in the US. The incumbent POTUS however isn't exactly much help in this situation...

Yes, I know about "how cute" and "who can resist?" We had her over a couple of times and she does know us. Even more, she seems to see us as part of her family. In fact, I believe that she regards herself as a "child" belonging to a family of humans. She made it perfectly clear that she has certain expectations in terms of participating in our social life, eating our kind of food - almost asking for equality and fair play. Now my question is, how does evolution work in this case? Did dogs evolve to bond with humans? Did humans develop affinity to dogs? Or, is there a process of mutual co-evolution or even co-assimilation?

L'ADN des gorilles est de 98 % à 99 % identique à celui de l'homme. Ils sont les êtres vivants les plus proches de l'homme après le Bonobo et le Chimpanzé.

The DNA of gorillas is highly similar to that of a human, from 95–99% depending on what is counted, and they are the next closest living relatives to humans after the bonobo and common chimpanzee.

You build me up and then I fall apart

'Cause I'm only human

I can turn it on

Be a good machine

I can hold the weight of worlds

If that's what you need

I'll get through it

But I'm only human

Your words in my head, knives in my heart

You build me up and then I fall apart

'Cause I'm only human

I'm only human

I'm only human

Just a little human

I can take so much

'Til I've had enough

'Cause I'm only human

And I bleed when I fall down

I'm only human

And I crash and I break down

Your words in my head, knives in my heart

You build me up and then I fall apart

'Cause I'm only human

Heidi thinks it’s important to train your humans. Once you know how it‘s done it‘s fairly easy she says. You just need to let them know who‘s the boss and find out how to push their buttons. So if you think your human is lazy and the floors need cleaning, just pee on all your paws while in the litter box and then go tour the whole place. You’ll be surprised how fast your servants jump from their couch and start a thorough house cleaning.

Have a happy weekend everyone! I‘ll be doing some cleaning, I guess 😂
