They who surrender to a grasshopper may fear,
but undeniably believe what they cannot hear :
hey i'm not afraid. wake up ! you are poisoning my world !...
happened (also) to me 5 years ago when one lonely grasshopper kicked my nose and pulled my staring focus out, after which he kept staring at me for almost 2 minutes.
Life, it's only a matter of time... not only for you but also for others here now and still to come.
Not only conquer but acknowledge surrender makes not only yours, but also their lives won.
Cleo was adopted at 4 months old from my local shelter who said she had been surrendered for being in an apartment that did not permit large dogs. 8 years later, she is my guardian puppy, a shotgun rider in the car or truck and the most sweet personality & disposition you could ever want in a rottweiler. She has made a believer out of the meter man who was caught climbing over the gate and the guys who were trying to steal our A/C last year and the border patrol agent who was inspecting my truck who stuck his head in my window a little too far! She loves her dog house in the barn and her cot dog bed on the porch. But most of all, she has to have her peanut butter dog bones in the morning - no other flavor will do! I love her and wouldn't trade her for any high dollar papered pedigreed dog - she is a great companion & guardian. Good dogs do come from shelters - it's not their fault their owners weren't as good as they have the potential to be!

Some people just need to give up!
This thing still runs -- I've seen it physically degrade over the years but the Honda Elite is one reliable machine.

It was agreed that if my 4-H Cloverbuds could reach a goal set for them this year they could throw a pie in my face at our last meeting. They surpassed the goal 5 times over. I was in for it! Thankfully, I only agreed to one pie. It was actually pretty fun and they practically licked me clean.
On A beautiful day I took some toy knights left over from a party out to the woods to play with focal points. The warriors fought over a hunk of rock.

The Fine People At Wikipeda have this to say about the original picture(s) this was based on.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%E2%80%93J_day_in_Times_Square
V–J day in Times Square, perhaps the most famous photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, is of an American sailor kissing a young woman on V-J Day in Times Square on August 14, 1945, that was originally published in Life magazine. (The photograph is known under various names: V-J day in Times Square, V-Day, etc.[1])
Because Eisenstaedt was photographing rapidly changing events during the V-J celebrations he didn't get a chance to get names and details. The photograph does not clearly show the faces of either kisser and several people have laid claim to being the subjects. The photo was shot just south of 45th Street looking north from a location where Broadway and Seventh Avenue converge.

However it does seem this statute is based on another photo taken at the same time by a navy photographer. (from the same Wiki entry):
U.S. Navy photo journalist Victor Jorgensen captured another view of the same scene, which was published in the New York Times.[4] This photograph shows less of Times Square in the background and does not show the full body of either the sailor or the nurse. Unlike the Eisenstaedt photograph, this photograph is in the public domain (by virtue of being produced by a federal government employee on official position).
There is something about the water - that solitary kind of peaceful feeling. You're on Earth but not quite.
