My dear Master, to thee I pray. I do not expect more than you can give. Grant me only the comforts you can afford.
This I promise you my Master and friend; that I will never quarrel or argue with you; never say unkind things or point out your faults to you and,most of all, never be disloyal or unfaithful to you.
Though others may desert you and the cares of the world weigh heavily upon you; though you may have poverty or prosperity; though there be sickness or health; I shall remain your obedient servant and friend.
When danger is present I rush to be near you to protect you, sounding the alarm against unwelcome intruders at your door. And if need be, guard you and your possessions with my life.
Dear Master, because I am a domesticated creature, I need to be protected against the harsh elements of weather, and pray you will always give me a clean sheltered place where I can rest peacefully and feel secure.
Since I am no longer a predator and cannot hunt, I pray you to daily provide enough nutritious food and fresh water to sustain my well being.
Protect me, I pray, from humans who would do cruel and inhumane things to me. I cannot understand why some of your fellow creatures are so unkind, and thus so unlike you.
I pray you will take care of me if I am ill or wounded, for I also feel pain and have only you to depend to see that I am tended by loving and competent hands.
As I grow older and my senses fail me; When the infirmities of my later years become too great to bear, please be kind, and help me gently in my pain or passing for I have served you well. Hear this prayer my dear Master, my fate depends on you.

Just returned from the monkey temple down the road from our place.
Never know what to expect upon arriving and this trip was no different in that respect.
Coming around a corner at the base of the mountain I could hear festive music unlike the other day when all I herd was temple dogs barking and monkeys fighting.
Getting closer I observed workers putting up bleachers and a stage along with canvas shade with plastic chairs common here in Thailand.
Music sounded old Thai and very pleasant to the ears.
Spotted some shade under a big old tree close to where the bananas had been, pulled in and dismounted with camera in hand.
Slowly walked over where some monkeys were devouring a pile of Jack Fruit, found a safe comfortable spot and just started watching.
Seemed to be a number of females young and old, most with new born baby's in tow.
After about 10 minutes I noticed the females were having some kind of dispute among them. Soon it was obvious what was taking place !
Older females were attempting to kidnap the baby's from the younger females, which is only a guess on my part.
Many ideas come into play, sense there was a new Alpha Male ruling the tribe maybe they were trying to kill off the old Alpha's off spring. Maybe they were jealous, maybe I don't really have a clue !
A couple kidnappers ran off into the jungle with a new born never to be seen again. This is real life in the jungle. Brutal at times, Beautiful at others.
This little guy was terrified but reunited with his mom only seconds after this photo, she was only an arms length away and keeping a close eye on him.
Right after arriving the sun broke through the overcast sky and the temperature sky rocketed as did the humidity!
Figured a rain storm was about to take place at any time, so I shot fast.
Didn't take long and a couple of rain drops hit my hat, large like a marble and fast. Stepped back under an over hang of rock and boom sky opened up.
While standing there big vans started pulling in full of Thais here for some type of Buddhist ceremony.
As fast as the rain came it ended but one could see this is only the first of what the sky had in store for us.
Fired off a couple hundred more shots and figured this is good for today as lightning was now starting to make it's presence known in a violent display of noise and light.
Pulled the rain cover over the Think Tank Bag, mounted my ride and headed for home before being caught up in another down pour that was on it's way.
4 clicks from home the sky once again opened up right behind me and started to do it's thing.
Leaned forward, twisted the wick on my scooter and went for it.
Had no choice, rain was right on my heals, falling faster and faster and catching up quickly.
Came flying down the drive way and into the carport just as the whole sky lit up and opened up, close one...;-)
.
Of course WeeNee and The Worm were nice and dry waiting for my return, they both had been stretched out on the steps under cover with out a worry in the world.
For the most part I made it unscathed, slightly wet on the back and top of shoulders, no big deal at all.
Right now it's hard to see the other side of the river it's coming down so hard, monsoon will be here in June.
As for the duct tape, knife, and tape is if I get bit, wrap it and head for help. Knife is for what ever use it needs to be used for.
For the next week or so there will be a number of monkey photos coming, hope your up for it. Thanks in advance ..;-)

We're expecting sleet and snow in New England today. I prefer to think about the other white stuff that will be coming our way in the spring...Like these beautiful dogwood blossoms!
This earlier image isn't as good as the other but it still has some great features.My eyes are always drawn to any Citroen Dyane as that was the very first model of car I ever drove - indeed I spent many of my early driving years in a bright yellow Dyane. The Renault 5 over the far side is expected to be seen at a Renault garage in this era. The red car is a Cavalier but the Silver one has me unsure so suggestions for that one please! The garage still exists in the present day although now without petrol sales or any connection to Renault. That was the case in the earliest Streetview shot so it's well over ten years since this garage had any strong branding. www.google.com/maps/@51.1782921,-3.4041442,3a,75y,80.57h,...
Batman: I have the book secured. It's more than we expected. It's sentient and it actively, psychically attacks everyone in its vicinity.*
Superman: So your concern about Ivy** was correct.
Batman: No, the book is not the warp. The warp in Thistledeep is sentient as well,*** and I've been trying to figure out the connection between the two. Now I'm sure they're separate entities with no real connection.
Superman: But we've learned that Ash used the warp to summon the book.
Batman: There's a good bit we probably won't know until we have a sit-down with Ash, but I think Ash is connected to the book, not the warp.
Superman: In what way?
Batman: From what I've pieced together from Machiko, Alice and others, it's psychic. The same way the book attacks every mind it comes in contact with. For some reason it now has a bond with Ash. I think that's why he's obsessed with going out there.
Superman: But we know that Ash's stated goal**** is to kill whatever creature is there at the cabin, and that creature is connected to the warp.
Batman: The creature, Machiko called it a 'Kandarian', comes through the warp. Again we will- ... Hrn. Diana's approaching.
Superman: I know. Her mother is with her.
Batman: Hrn.

Watching lines waiting in line at the Frankfurt airport on the way to working our flight back home, arriving by road from the crew layover in Mainz after weekday morning stop-and-go traffic over Frankfurt’s autobahn crossing near the airport, Europe's busiest traffic junction
To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!
Im Frankfurter Flughafen, Terminal 2
_____________________________________________
Album – Frankfurt a.M., Germany – 2018JUL05 – Airport:
I begin – and end – each FRA layover in the Frankfurt am Main airport, located by the River Main, an important right- (east-) bank tributary of the Rhine; it is the longest river lying entirely in Germany. Frankfurt am Main and Würzburg are the largest cities along the Main River, which discharges into the Rhine at Mainz. The name "Main" (from the Latin Moenus or Menus) is unrelated to the name of the city Mainz (Latin: Moguntiacum).
Today, Frankfurt Airport is the third largest in Europe for passenger traffic and the largest for cargo.
Frankfurt prides itself on accessibility and on the green and sustainable aspects of its extensive public transport network.
By road, the city is easily reachable: Frankfurt’s autobahn crossing next to the airport is Europe's busiest traffic junction.
In 1948, Soviets blocked transport and electricity to West Berlin, leaving millions of Germans and Allied soldiers without access to food, medication, heating material, and energy. This attempted takeover of the West Berlin sector – at the time, an island in the middle of Soviet-occupied Germany – became one of the early events of the rising tensions of the Cold War.
As a solution, the Allies came up with the idea of the Berlin Airlift.
In record time, just 90 days, the French Forces built the Berlin Tempelhof airport, the landing airport for the airlift, providing West Berlin with over 2 million tons of goods from June 24, 1948 through September 30, 1949, including 23 tons of candy for local children.
I look for the Air Bridge monument every time I am here. (Want to go? It is easily reached by foot from Terminal 2 of Frankfurt Airport, a walk of about 1 mile).
In 2022, FRA, Germany's busiest airport and global aviation hub, expects its 3 Terminals will handle 80-85 million passengers.

”Talia?”
”Hello beloved.”
It’s….her…..Talia…..
”Surprised to see me?”
”A little. I knew you were in Gotham, I didn’t expect to find you in a hate rally of all things.”
”Well I’d hoped that you would have sought me out after the gift I gave you.”
”It was you who brought Jason out of his coma.”
”Once I knew all that my father was planning against you it was the least I could do.”
”You did more than enough for me the night you helped me escape.”
”That was over a decade ago Bruce.”
She says before abruptly freezing on the spot seemingly for no reason.
”Talia?”
”I didn’t think I’d ever see you again.”
The pitch of her voice raises slightly as a tear drops down her left cheek. She raises her right arm and touches the only part of my body not covered by my suit.
”So much has happened since you left Bruce. Everything changed.”
”I know Talia.”
My heart tells me that she’s telling the truth, but my mind can’t help but distrust her. If she was so desperate to see me surely she would have done so. Not to mention it’s all a little too convenient for my liking. Ra’s is due to attack Gotham in matter of days and Talia suddenly makes her presence known. The cynic in me says she’s nothing more than a trap desired to make me lower my guard. But I can’t help but trust her.
”I know about Damian.”
”Damian?”
”Our son.”
”How do you know about that?”
”How? He tried to kill me.”
”What? He couldn’t possibly have tried to kill you.”
”The scars tell a different story.”
Either this is an elaborate attempt to confuse me or Talia is genuinely surprised. No…it’s the truth….I can tell from her face. Her father may have trained both of us in the art of deception but we can both see through one another no matter how much we try to hide it. Hell she was able to do it when she first met me all those years.
”Bruce. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
”Our son, Talia. He tried to kill me.”
”But that’s not possible…”
”I have him restrained in my cave, I can assure you Talia it’s true.”
”But it can’t be our son……I…..I had a miscarriage before I could give birth….”
”What?”
A miscarriage? She can’t possibly have had a miscarriage. I ran a DNA match of Damian’s DNA with my own and Talia’s from the locket of hair she gave me. He’s definitely our son.
”After you left the League…my father….he wanted to destroy you. No-one had ever managed to escape the League before and he didn’t want to make himself look weak by not hunting you.”
”I gathered that when he sent my Uncle after me.”
”He sent Marcus after you?”
”Your father doesn’t seem to very forthcoming with you Talia.”
”He said that he left you be after you gave him all he wanted.”
”Alfred and I might disagree with him on that.”
”But then I lost him….I lost our son Bruce.”
”Then just who is this Damian then?”
”Damian?”
”The guy who has a DNA match for both of us.”
”…..How is that possible?”
”That’s what I was about to ask you.”
”My father told me our child died before he could be brought into this world.”
”He also told you that he had no quarrel with me before dispatching my own Uncle to take my life. You know better than to trust him Talia.”
”He….he can’t of….”
”I think I know what he did. I’m so sorry Talia.”
”He…..stole my own son from me….”
A tear falls down the right cheek this time as Talia quickly realizes the depths of her father’s deception. I can’t imagine what she’s feeling but I know just how painful it would be if I learned that my father had lied to me for over a decade.
More tears begin to fall down Talia’s face as she steps backwards to lean on the cupboard behind her. I take two steps forward and prepare to lower my cowl in order to comfort her. Before I can do so a loud bang echoes out in the street as a bullet smashes through one of the boarded up windows and hits Talia in the stomach.
”TALIA!”
Really wasn't expecting to see these in Medway yesterday!, and for some reason these 5 vehicles were all parked up in the public car park for Diggerland in Strood.
And be sure to check by my other acount: www.flickr.com/photos_user.gne?path=&nsid=77145939%40..., to see what else I saw Last Week!!
Yes I'm back again.
However due to my main computer on which I edit my work being struck down with a big bad virus, this picture and all the others I am uploading, were Unedited but have now been replaced with Edited versions. So enjoy and Thanks for your patience and understanding.
I do still hate everything about this shit that is new Flickr and always will, but an inability to find another outlet for my work that is as easy for me to use as the Old BETTER Flickr was, has forced me back to Flickr, even though it goes against everything I believe in.
I don't generally have an opinion on my own work, I prefer to leave that to other people and so based on the positive responses to my work from the various friends I had made on Flickr prior to the changes I have decided to upload some more of my work as an experiment and to see what happens.
So make the most of me before they delete my acount: www.flickr.com/photos/69558134@N05/?details=1, to stop me complaining!!
Wasn't expecting to see these in Tenterden!, and these vehicles were parked in Tenterdens Town Coach Park and were possibly on runs to the big Homeswood School nearby, while Kent Coach Tours GN05DZU was in Service on route 293!

So, bet ya weren't expecting the next part so quickly. This...was an absolute bugger to edit. Powerpoint really didn't help, especially with the middle pic. There's a line through it, can't do anything about it, so just ignore that. I was up till all hours putting that pic together. Surprisingly, Kylo Ren's lightsaber makes for good heat vision, just in case anyone's struggling. Anywho, I'll stop boring you with the details, and start on the next part in the story.
Fire and Furies
Just as Lucius finished, a sonic boom shook the plane. "They're here" Zod muttered, looking through the walls with his X-ray vision. Although weaker than Kara's, his vision could just about make out three figures. The Furies. Wonder womans elite soldiers, who would stop at nothing to achieve their goal. The team shuffle, uneasy. Green arrow begins pacing. Muttering something about a canary. Seeing this, Zod takes control. He was a general, and he was damned well going to control this situation. "Form up, flyers in front, everyone else in back" He marched up to Zataro. "You are responsible for them. Transport them out of here, we will hold them off for as long as we can."
"They won't let us escape, this is the end" Zataro murmured "this is it, we can't escape this."
Huntress slumps to the ground, head in hand. With Bruce gone, it is like the fire has died from her heart. "He's right. Sure there's more of us, but they're the Furies. They level cities, hunt down dissidents. Compared to them, we're like ants. They can crush us any time they please."
"No!" Zod shouted, putting his foot down "We won't let it end this way, falling like birds, shot by the hunter. I won't let it end like this. Now get a hold of yourselves and get these people to safety. You'll know when the time is right"
The team does as Zod says. When it comes to strategy, he and Batman were the best. And with Batman gone, Zod is their best bet for survival. They form up. Elizabeth stands by the controls, ready. "Open the door" Zod commands. Lights blare and sirens wail. The air is sucked out of the cabin, but the team stays strong, protected by Zataro's magical shield. Once covering the entire plane, he has retracted it, so that it only envelops the non-flyers. Zod and Kara step out, standing on the edge of the platform. "We're really doing this, huh" Says Kara, almost to herself. "I see them" Zod shouts "Get ready"
He nods, and the two Kryptonians blast their heat vision at the Furies, burning the air around them. The remaining flyers, Martian manhunter, Captain Atom and Artemis rise into the air, floating inches off the floor. With a sweep of his arm, Zod gives the signal. They hurtle out of the plane, whooshing past the Kryptonians. "We will hold them here, thin the herd" he says, willing more power to his heat vision.
Undeterred, the Furies move closer, dodging the beams of fire as if they are merely birds in the sky. They move quickly, yet gracefully, cutting through the air, as if it isn't there. Unlike the resistance members, they do not speak. They have done this countless times before. This is not the first time they have had to cut down those flying through the air. Doctor Light, escaping with his daughter. Maxwell Lord, trying to flee to the stars in a homemade rocket. They have succeeded in the past, and they will succeed now. Artemis, Manhunter and Captain Atom, hands blazing with flame, rush to meet them, ready for a fight.
looked at your face,I saw that all the love had died
I saw that we had forgotten to take the time
I, I saw that you couldn't care less about what you do
Couldn't care less about the lies
You couldn't find the time to cry
We forgot about love
We forgot about faith
We forgot about trust
We forgot about us
Now our love's floating out the window
Our love's floating out the back door
Our love's floating up in the sky in heaven
Where it began back in God's hands
You said that you had said all that you had to say
You said,"baby it's the end of the day"
And we gave a lot, but it wasn't enough
We got so tired that we just gave up
We didn't respect it
We went and neglected it
We didn't deserve it
But I never expected this
Our love floated out the window
Our love floated out the back door
Our love floated up in the sky to heaven
It's part of a plan
It's back in God's hands
Back in God's hands
It didn't last
It's a thing of the past
Oh we didn't understand
Just what we had
Oh I want it back
Just what we had
Oh I want it back
Oh just what we had
It looks like the new Bratz art style may be "the norm" very soon! I was expecting them to wait until the fall since the current style is being used for the spring lines :P Could this be why the commercials are taking so long? As of the 17th, the SP12 commercials (or at least one of them) were in their final editing stages according to MGA. Shooting for another Bratz commercial starts next month. :)
Photo from the Film Independent Spirit Awards gift lounge. While it's a step down from the days of OOAK Bratz celebrity auctions and Bratz parties at the Grammys, I am happy to see MGA actively promoting the Bratz at "big"(ish) events again ^_^ Pix here: www.zimbio(dot)com/pictures/VJ0CXvtwLBf/Official+Presenter+Gift+Lounge+2012+Film+Independent/browse (Replace "(dot)" with a period ;))
In a future post apocalyptic world not very far from now, justice has a new name The Druidess Of Midian!

Wasn't expecting to see this in Dover today, and this vehicle was visiting from Gravesend, and had brought School Groups to Dover Castle which is now open again daily.
And be sure to check by my other acount: www.flickr.com/photos_user.gne?path=&nsid=77145939%40..., to see what else I saw Last Week!!
Hi. Not having a Pro account is the worst feeling. I wasn't expecting to get one, but I just thought someone would purchase me one 'cause I've done it for other's in the past. I'm not saying that I bought them for Olivia and Juliana just so other people would buy me one, but ugh, I just want one :(
-This is old, I don't love it, but I don't hate it(: School and cross country is great!(: I wish I could see all six-hundred of my pictures here again...My first meet is this Saturday!! :D I cannot wait to wear my flats againnnn(: I hope who ever reads this is doing great!!<3
-You know what I'm really sick and tired of though? When girls take pictures that I took the same exact things of, the same idea, the same, UGH everything! And they take a picture, edit it just like one of mine, and then post it without saying anything that it was inspired. I mean, OHMYGOSH. I just can't even take it sometimes. Its the exact same picture!!!!!!
My youth group leader-I've mentioned him here before- Mike is leaving...He won't be my leader any more. I can't explain what I feel other than happy and sad at the same time, but isn't that pretty obvious?
When Jaimie and I went to Youth Week rather than going to Young Life summer camp, it was sad we wouldn't be with our friends, but we grew in God more. Mike hasn't had his own leader so to speak, no one has been filling him up with Jesus, you could say. He hasn't had a church for a long time. So, even though it is terribly sad that he won't be my leader anymore, I'm happy that he'll be going on mission trips to do bigger and better things and be more of a solider for our Lord.
I mean, yes its awesome that he's Asian, but he's so much more than that. I find it so much easier to follow his lesson's at bible study rather than anyone else's, honestly. He can explain things like Jaimie can, in a way that you would have never thought of but when you hear it, you're blown away and become excited because you would have never thought of to look at a verse like that before, or something. When Mike found out that I had a "thing" with this boy named James, he told Lisa, my other leader to make sure I didn't date him because Mike new he wasn't a Christian. He thought of me instantly when Shannon was coming to Long Island and needed a photographer's assistant and helped me out so much. He's just...He rock's so much. Two of my Young Life leaders have now left while I've been in Young Life, my two favorites.
Maybe you think its weird that I'm talking about my youth group leader, especially since he's a guy, but I don't really care because countless times, he's amazed me, surprised me, said incredible things. He's going to save more unsaved people, and I cannot wait to hear about it; he's changed me life and I'm just so grateful and blessed to having known him.
Let God and God only define you.

while waiting for the fire works to start, I composed a long exposure during the blue hour, and the fireworks bloomed in front of me at the last few sec burst of the long exposure. But unforunatety the bloom wasn't captured fully as I wasn't fully expecting the fireworks at that hour.
life is like that sometimes isn't it? u can view the vessel as half empty or half full, so am I lucky or unlucky? :)
Anyway Happy Monday Blues my friends:)
I did not expect to find this V8V in the delivery area of a shopping center, but it made for a really cool backdrop. I think the clear taillights are a nice touch.
MORE ABOUT
(Information gathered from the GuideMeMalta .com website).
The earliest evidence of human occupation here dates back to the Bronze Age. That’s circa 2,500 BC-750 BC, and there have been discoveries of remains from earlier periods.
The site was developed further during Phoenician and Roman times, when it was developed into a complex acropolis. For a while, Gozo was a priveleged Roman municipality independent if Malta, and the Citadel was the centre of everything.

Ante las pobres expectativas de poder realizar fotos de algún mercante digno (como duele ver por ahí ese tren de cenizas), fijé mi atención, durante los escasos días de vacaciones, en inmortalizar algunos de los servicios extra de este verano.
Así, pues, el jueves a mediodía hice el Talgo Mare Nostrum con su refuerzo de tres coches y hoy viernes, última oportunidad de cerrar el círculo, he ido a por el Talgo Barcelona - Alcázar de San Juan (10697) al puente de Alfafar - Massanassa. Por la tarde iría a por el que cerraba la lista, el Intercity 33104 Madrid - Gandía (lo que viene a ser un 449 mas feo que Picio)
¿Y por qué hacer esta foto aquí de un tren que ya tenía fotografiado? Pues por una razón muy sencilla: Desde este punto, en la que hay luz buena por la mañana, un Talgo es difícil de cazar porque el resto del año no hay.
La suerte (relativa) ha estado de mi lado, puesto que me ha venido con la 252-070 que parece últimamente abonada al corredor Mediterráneo ya que en apenas una semana la he visto hasta tres veces.
Lo dicho. En la imagen el Talgo Barcelona - Alcázar de San Juan pasando por el famoso campo de coles alfafareño.
August 28 - 30 three of us hiked from the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) at Harts Pass to the Cutthroat Lake TH near Mazama, Washington for two and a half days. Smoke from the nearby Diamond Creek fire obscured many of the peaks and reduced photo opportunities. Hiking distance is about 30 miles of up and down over Grasshopper Pass, Glacier Pass, Methow Pass, Granite Pass and Cutthroat Pass. On clear, smokeless days many North Cascades peaks are visible. We made a short side trip to Snowy Lakes on a day that was almost smoke free and for that reason and the great views was the highlight of the trip.
A group of about a dozen backpackers hiking the Pacific Crest trail from the US/Mexican border camped near us along the PCT and Snowy Lake Trail junction. Some will return starting about Sept 3 or 4 to hike a 300 mile section of the PCT in the Sierra Nevada that was not passable due to snow earlier in the summer. Most if not all of them expected to reach the Canadian border today (Sept. 1).
We hit the trail about 1 pm August 28, hiked the 4.8 miles to Grasshopper Pass and down the dozen or more switchbacks and more than 1000 foot descent to spend the night at Glacier Pass about 7.6 miles from the trailhead. A very small creek that may dry up before the first snow was the only water source at this camp.

It's Expected I'm Gone · Minutemen
I don't wanna hurt
See, my position was here
I mean, as it was, I was
Wasn't expecting to see this in Dover tonight!, and this vehicle was on SouthEastern Trains Emergency Rail Replacement Service to Ramsgate, and had also driven past my house in Dover about 12:15AM, and so yeah I went out for a shot again, and this was the best I could do in the light rain and winds, but still not that bad considering the conditions I had to work with, plus the fact that vehicles interior lighting didn't help in my opinion, and besides I've done worse night shots right?
But yes your probably still thinking I'm crazy for going out at night like this, especially when John Lee Hooker sang that "Night Time is the Right Time to be with the Woman You Love!", however I still don't have any of that...
And be sure to check by my other acount: www.flickr.com/photos_user.gne?path=&nsid=77145939%40..., to see what else I saw this week!!
You might expect a room full of steam pumps to be an asbestos-swaddled nightmare, but there’s just a few pipes wrapped up with the stuff.
The sign is probably just something the Buffalo Water Department has to post by law or by regulation.
We walked through what used to be the boiler house on the way in here. Now that was a place to see asbestos! But the asbestos as been cleaned out of there, too.
(I thought I would do all of my steam pump photos in black and white, but this one is color to show how much or how little rust there is on this century-old machinery.)
I took myself a photo of this WSN/SITA/Suez truck ejecting a load at Pioneer Waste Management in Taren Point, being the average 5t of bulk waste taken away from Kogarah. Worth noting is that this is a Heil Europe machine, obvious telltale being the control console - funny thing is that the lifter was operated by a valve lever instead of buttons like you’d expect! Had a lot of problems with the packer on this, lots of manual operation was required mainly during the second half of the cycle, kept seizing up in auto. Something I’ve gotta mention is how awesome this truck sounded at every point, even just the sharp kick of revs when dis/engaging the tailgate locks... especially epic doing the Pacific Square dock in Maroubra but. This truck did do Randwick for a short time when I transferred across, and it was mad fun to use, might’ve had some hardware issues and bent lifter teeth, but it worked quick and went tough. Absolutely devo I never managed to take a video and probably won’t in future.

“It was a good party, Sky, one of the best I have ever been to.” Said Bertie.
“I think we over did the food a bit but that was to be expected when we saw what had been delivered.” Said Barnaby smiling.
“Well, that was not my fault. I ordered just enough but then other bears added to my order.” Said Sky.
“No bear was blaming you, Sky, it was not intended as a criticism, you did your part extremely well.” Said Posh Bear.
“Yes, Sky, we all think you did great. I hope you had a good time too?” Asked Barnaby.
“I did, Barnaby, thank you. I thought that everyone had a joyous time.”
“I like that word, Sky, joyous, it even sounds happy.” Said Barnaby.
“Yes, Ellie told me it, and she is very clever. Posh, you are almost clever, not a genius, but fairly clever, may I ask you a question please? Said Sky looking at his friend.
“I will try and answer you, Sky, what is the question?”
“I was talking to Ellie at the party, and you may remember even though you are very old, that Icecap had what Elli called a bread baboon, and she said that if it hit anything sharp there would be a loud bang and the bread baboon would disappear. I just wondered, why it would go bang and then disappear?”
“A bread Baboon, what are you on about, Sky?”
“I think he means a red balloon, Posh.” Said Bertie looking quite smug.
“That is what I said, a bread baboon.” Said Sky firmly.
“Sky, the colour is red, not bread, which is something else altogether, and it was not a baboon, which is a type of monkey, it was a balloon.” Said Bertie hoping that Posh would say the same.
“I know that, Bertie, I said it right, it is bears that do not listen properly that are the problem. So, Posh, do you know why the bread baboon might go bang if it was to hit anything sharp?”
“Well, a balloon is made from a thin kind of material and if there is a hole made all the air rushes out so fast it goes bang.” Explained Posh Bear.
“Mmm, interesting, so, if you did not want the baboon to go bang why did they put air into it in the first place?”
“Without the air the balloon would be small and flat, so you need the air so it floats on the string and is big and shiny.” Explained Bertie.
“How does the air get inside the baboon?” Asked Sky rubbing his head with a paw trying to understand.
“Well, some hoomans hold the balloon to their mouth, take a deep breath and then blow into the balloon.” Said Bertie. “I have seen the man do it.”
“So, just a lot of hot air then?” replied Sky.
“Yes, I suppose you could say that,” Agreed Posh Bear.
“I had better hurry to tell Icecap then, he will not want lots of hot air inside his cold place. It could melt his whatsits. Icecap would not like that.” Said Sky.
It was quiet while they all digested what Sky had said and then Barnaby was the first to speak.
“Posh, what is bread?” He asked rubbing his head clearly confused.
“It is hooman food, they make it out of water, something called yeast, and flour, I think.”
“What colour flowers do you they use?” Asked Barnaby still confused.
“These are different flours, Barnaby, they don’t have flowers.” Explained Posh Bear knowing he should not have said that.
“Why are they called flours if they don’t have flowers, Posh? That is silly.” Said Sky also now confused. “I only hope the buzzy things don’t mind should they ever find out.”
“I shouldn’t let it worry either of you, bears do not eat bread…well most of us do not.” Said Posh.
Well, this is NOT the kind of news I was expecting during Comic-con! Because of some pretty horrible Tweets Gunn made that have resurfaced today, Disney has cut all ties with the director.
This news has been a roller coaster for me. For starters, I read most of his controversial tweets and they're flat out disgusting and horrible. We've also seen that the Guardians can work without Gunn given their appearance in Infinity War. At the same time, the Guardians of the Galaxy are Gunn's babies and it'll be really hard for someone to convince me that someone else can capture the heart and the complex emotions the characters brought in the past two films.
Overall, it may have been for the best. The things Gunn tweeted about is inexcusable, even if those ideas and jokes have never been anywhere near his Guardians films.
Well, there no really debate of what should be done because he's officially been fired. So, this means what's going to happen to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3? Gunn has already submitted the script for the film, and it was planning to shoot this fall, but I wouldn't be surprised if they either make some rewrites by someone else and give them the script credit and Gunn the story credit, or throw out the script all together.
Anyways, I thought I'd throw in some suitable replacements in the meantime. My first pick would obviously be Taika Waititi as the director. He's my favorite director of all time (spoilers for tomorrow's top ten), and he's proven he can make something awesome in the cosmic universe. My second pick for both script and possibly directing would be Nicole Perlman. Now for those of you who don't know, Nicole Perlman spent two years researching and writing the first Guardians of the Galaxy script, only to have Gunn do a last minute rewrite and direct. I think she'd be a perfect for wrapping up this Guardians trilogy, plus more female talent behind the scenes is great.
Anyways, those are my thoughts. I'd really like to hear everyone's perspective on this so leave your thoughts in the comments below!
Hope but never expect
Look forward but never wait
