Perhaps it is quite normal, but I thought someone had been very inventive to protect a beam with a tile!
Sure, I'd push any guy who gets too close off the lighthouse. But don't worry, my partner makes sure no one even makes it to the top. What would I do without his protection?
So, what would I do without him? Probably turn into a stair-climbing, intruder-fighting, lighthouse ninja!
His protection lets me kick back and enjoy the view, knowing I've got my very own human shield. ❤️
Te diría muchas cosas, pero creo que esta foto es lo que mejor te define para con los tuyos... que pases un día precioso con ellos, muchas felicidades, bonita!!!!! un abrazo enorme!!!
Nearly 70 years ago, I had several teachers who believed corporal punishment should not be limited to a student’s home. I discovered this, much to my chagrin, when I stepped over an invisible behavioral line they had drawn for budding criminals like myself.
One teacher was shorter than I already was in junior high, but unfortunately, he was built like a fireplug and had quick reflexes, so quick, in fact, that he might have set a state record closing the distance between his desk and mine after I might have caused a minor disruption.
He didn’t administer a long discipline session with his frantic efforts, but it was effective enough to open a two-inch cut above my eyebrow.
An uneasy silence engulfed our classroom when he clumsily handed me a paper towel to staunch the flow of blood and told me to go to the boy’s locker room. I was met there by the football coach. He took one look at me and said, “I don’t even have to ask who did that to you.” I have always wondered what he meant by that.
In retrospect, that incident could have been somewhat alleviated if I would have had a tongue like this Pileated Woodpecker.
The largest woodpecker in the US has a tongue that can extend up to 4 inches beyond the tip of its bill. When the woodpecker is pounding its head against a tree, the tongue retracts inwardly and wraps around the back of its skull to protect it from the concussions of the taps.
I wish my mom and dad had thought of that.

Confidence... thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live. Franklin D. Roosevelt
"Tesserò i tuoi capelli come trame di un canto.
Conosco le leggi del mondo, e te ne farò dono.
Supererò le correnti gravitazionali,
lo spazio e la luce per non farti invecchiare.
TI salverò da ogni malinconia,
perché sei un essere speciale ed io avrò cura di te...
io sì, che avrò cura di te"
