"If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity, it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and when it comes, hold your head high, look it squarely in the eye and say, "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.""
~Ann Landers

La dernière fois que je suis venu, les salles de l'abbaye étaient remplies de sable. Je me demande s'il n'en reste pas des grains par terre.
Salvador Dali
Spanish, 1904-1989
"The Persistence of Memory" 1931
Oil on canvas
Dali rendered his fantastic visions with meticulous verisimilitude, giving the representations of dreams a tangible and credible appearance. In what he called "hand painted dream photographs," hard objects become inexplicably limp, time bends, and metal attracts ants like rotting flesh. The monstrous creature draped across the painting's center resembles the artist's own face in profile; its long eyelashes seem insectlike or even sexual, as does what may or may not be a tongue oozing from its nose like a fat snail.

March 22, 081/365- . . . is this little group of Magnolias that keep coming back. That is the base of a huge Live Oak right next to them. I have cut them back several times since they have no chance of ever growing there, but they keep coming back. It's another sign of spring when you look at the top of these and see the new leaves coming out.
The poor daffodils were growing nicely before the big dump of snow last Saturday. Amazing how they can keep on growing after being buried in snow all week.

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."
-- Calvin Coolidge
Life is like a Rubik's cube. Difficult at first, but with constant practice and determination it gets better.

A scan across an unnamed gas giant's upper layers--made me think of watching the Shoemaker/Levy impact on Jupiter, and wonder how many times that must happen across the rest of the galactic arm.
