Ran onto campus for my sixth "Squirrel Run" at the University of Michigan. The campus was strangely empty - on this overcast and cold Spring day. In the Governor's order, we do have the freedom to participate in outdoor activities - as long as we keep a social distance of 6 feet. I keep at least enough room for the Holy Spirit to drive a car between me and anyone I am with. So today, I went to campus to see and feed my squirrel friends. In regards to the squirrels it was another banner day and I took a lot of pictures during my short time on campus! Besides seeing all the squirrels and feeding them (with a big old bag of peanuts), it was quite exciting. I did see Lefty (my favorite three pawed squirrel) behind Martha Cook. I saw the group of juveniles who are living in Hatcher Library in the brickwork. I am going to call them the Hatchlings and there are four of them! They are starting to explore away from the nest - which is kinda cool. I also got a medicated pecan (my last one) to Waddles over on the Law Quad. He has lots of scabs on his tail - hope this helps. Be safe everyone - we will get through this. Sending love and virtual hugs from Ann Arbor, Michigan. Pictures from the University of Michigan on Wednesday April 22nd, 2020.

Photos of the special exhibit: Passionate Curiosities: Collecting in Egypt & the Near East, 1880s–1950s which will run at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology at the University of Michigan from August 28 to November 29, 2015. From the Kelsey website: ""What circumstances formed the artifact-biographies of the collected objects we see in museum display cases? Passionate Curiosities, curated by Margaret Cool Root, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries, from consuls to entrepreneurs, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s."

Recipes for happiness from the Director of the Ornithology of Happiness project Research Institute of Cardboardia
Colleagues! Comrades! Friends! This is the director of the Laboratory of Ornithology at the Cardboardia Research Institute. I appeal to all employees of the Laboratory, all its interns and volunteers, as well as to all those who are not indifferent to the scientific progress of the state of Cardboardia.
Recipes for happiness from the Director of the Ornithology of Happiness project Research Institute of Cardboardia.
Our field trip to Kirov, the New Year's capital of Russia in 2025, was recently completed. I am ready to state with full responsibility that all the tasks set have been achieved. We continued our long-standing observations of changes in the level of happiness of the population depending on its geographical location and the time of the year. We have successfully and fruitfully conducted training and retraining of local personnel for potential further participation in the programs of our Research Institute (as well as several permanent residence visas in Cardboardia). Our main task has also been completed — the Vyatka-Kirov Bird of Happiness has been discovered, examined and studied. All received materials will be transferred to the main department of the Research Institute for further work.
I can't help but share some more specific research results. It turned out that the following actions and factors significantly increase the level of happiness in human blood:
• A sharp smile from ear to ear. However, if you have weak blood vessels, you should not use it more than 2-3 times a day.;
• the presence of a headdress on the head (regardless of its appearance and the time of day and year outside the window);
• voluntary and compulsory gymnastics;
At the same time, to our surprise, the following factors negatively affect the level of happiness (both in the short and long term):
• Regular queuing;
• moving up the career ladder too fast;
• a person's lack of sense of rhythm;
According to the tradition of our Research Institute, the Laboratory ended with a large-scale urban march. Several hundred citizens and visitors from other cities who came to Kirov temporarily became naturalists (and at the same time naturalists). The prototype of the Bird of Happiness created by us during the Laboratory has become not only the spiritual, but also the material center of the procession. All the participants, armed with all kinds of objects created by them during our Open Workshops, formed the mass, the core of the procession. Its main purpose was to test in practice (it is important — outdoors) the ability of Happiness to concentrate in various manifestations of human culture: in color, sound, matter.
One can already admit that the whole procession was one big scientific experiment. In addition to the above, it confirmed another of our hypotheses — happiness can be transmitted through physical contact. All the participants of the march were in close physical proximity to each other, which does not happen so often in everyday life. Therefore, today's advice from scientists is to stay with your friends and family more often, hug and do not be afraid of live contact with people. Infection with a bad mood through touching has not yet been proven. In the near future, the Publishing House of Cardboardia, I hope, will release a specialized brochure "Happiness at home and in reality" on how to stay happy under any circumstances.
Concluding my report, I would like to thank the Tyran of Cardboardia for such an attentive and reverent attitude towards science, its development and, most importantly, its people. Hooray, friends! Your I. K

One of my favorite things to do on a cruise ship is to get up early and capture the sunrise from the ship. Here are pictures from Sunday October 15th, our only day at sea without a port on our five day cruise from Tampa (October 11th through 16th, 2017). We had left Cozumel the day before (around 9pm) and were headed back to Tampa. Nothing quite as nice as catching the sunrise at sea. I really loved Royal Caribbean's good morning messages in all the languages.
A State of 90's - Lets meet again! 13-03-2010. Elkaar weer ontmoeten deden we zeker deze avond. Elkaar onderling en de crowd de artiesten en andersom. Er heerste een enorme energetische vibe in The Sand en we waanden ons weer terug in de beginjaren van de dance, waar de verschillende huidige stromingen zijn ontstaan. We hebben het hier over: A state of 90's. Met artiesten die als pioneers aan de wieg stonden van wat we nu als moderne en hedendaagse dancestromingen kennen. Wat te denken van Fierce Ruling Diva - Live, Miss Monica, Human Resource en Quadrophonia. De allergrootste klassiekers kwamen deze nacht voorbij. Deze heren en dame dj's zijn het draaien nog allerminst verleerd en gaan ook 20 jaar later nog steeds los. Net als generatiegenoten en de generatie na hen op de dansvloer. En iedereen danste tot dat hij/zij er bij neerviel. Wat een nacht in de Sand. Top gewoon! Respect aan de mannen van het geluid en het licht. Dat was dik in orde deze nacht. Misschien voor een volgende editie nog een paar vette lasers in de zaal hangen. Om het helemaal af te maken! Ook dank aan de organisatie voor het neerzetten van zo'n mooi feest. Deze set is mede tot stand gekomen met dank aan Michael. Dank gast, voor de vette foto's. Zijn foto's zijn de nummers: 228 t/m 330 van deze set. De nabewerking van de hele set heb ik verzorgd. Have fun met het checken en downloaden.
Check ook de tweetal aftermovies van het feest @ mijn YouTube channel:

Om het me dit weekend met 3 feesten, donderdag 11/03 Escape, vrijdag 12/03 Panama en zaterdag 13/03 Sand, makkelijk te maken en tijd te besparen, deze keer 100% natuurlijke foto's. Geen (storende) logo's in de foto's. Dus gewoon je eigen foto(s) of welke foto je maar wil snel en gemakkelijk downloaden in het formaat 15 x 10 cm! Maar ook wanneer er wel een logo in de foto is geplaatst bij sets, kun je altijd je mooiste foto(s) als herinnering aan een bijzondere avond/nacht bestellen bij mij. Stuur een mail naar: dutchpartypics@yahoo.com met het/de betreffende fotonummer(s). Daarna laat ik je de details weten waar je je Eurootje naar kunt overmaken. Daarna stuur ik je de high res. foto via de mail toe. Een fotootje in de maximale resolutie van 10 MP (3800 x 2500 pixels ongeveer) zonder logo dus, kost je maar een lousy Eurootje. En jij kunt daarna je favoriete partyfoto laten afdrukken op canvas bijvoorbeeld, in een afmeting van 100 x 67 cm. En dat ziet er erg strak uit kan ik je verzekeren. Heb er zelf ook eentje aan de muur hangen thuis. Dat kost je ongeveer 50 - 70 Euro. Of je geeft je afgedrukte foto als geschenk aan je liefje. Mogelijkheden zat te bedenken!
Dank nogmaals allen voor de mooie foto opportunities het afgelopen weekend. Respect aan de mensen van sound & vision in de Escape, Panama en Sand. Alle drie toplocaties, met topfeesten in een mooie stad: Amsterdam. Het was een mooi party-weekend, 11-12-13 maart 2010!
Laat je op- en aanmerkingen achter op de foto! Ik hoor het graag van jullie! Hiervoor moet je wel eerst een Flickr-account aanmaken. Doodeenvoudig en erg gemakkelijk allemaal! Een free account is helemaal gratis. Hiermee kun je tot 100 MB of 200 foto's per maand plaatsen op Flickr. Een pro-account kost je nog geen 15 Euro per jaar. En je kunt dan onbeperkt foto's uploaden in elk gewenst formaat.

The Hundred of Cotton was declared in 1894 but no surveying took place until 1904. Farming land was sold in 1905 with nearest town to be Parrakie on the Pinnaroo railway. In 1913 the local Methodists decided to build a church to be used as a state school. This floundered. Later that year the locals decided to build a public hall which could be used for church services and would have financial support from all denominations. A farmer donated some land for it. The hall opened late in 1913. The Hundred of Cotton School opened in the hall in January 1914. The school closed in 1945 with the opening of Lameroo Area School. The hall was enlarged in 1928 and the old hall was demolished in 1960 and a new Besser block hall built. Almost since its inception the hall was used for Methodist Church services and from 1939 the hall was the regular venue of the CWA. Prior to that the Women’s Agricultural Bureau had met in the hall. The new hall was still being used by the CWA and the Uniting Church in the 1980s. The adjacent tennis courts were established in 1927 and in 1973 a small Besser block club room was erected. The courts are clearly no longer in use.
