The truck had 4-wheel drive, but sunk into wet sod. In full disclosure, less than 2 weeks before, I had to be pulled out in front of a feeding pen.
This area is where the Alien Throne is located, so I call it Alien World.
I have found a way that it is less than a mile to walk to this area. Google Earth is incredible.
On the other side of the fence, Mr. Zoom and I crossed the street to get a better look at the building from which we'd just escaped. I was happy to see that Mr. Z's eyes were clear again. He asked if I still had the paper I'd pulled out of the one-fingered hand. I patted the pockets of my pants. Yes! But only part of it.
We stood huddled together, trying to find a clue in the words. If we were to believe the Statue of Liberty, Demi only had to look for the signs to find her other half. Originally we were just humoring Demi, helping her with her quest. But now we felt that if we followed the signs we might find her.
Part of a headline remained. We read it together at the same time...out loud.
ines Contribute to City's Demi (and the paper was torn here)
Huh? City's Demise was a good guess as to the rest of the headline. But what about the beginning?
A bit of wind ruffled the paper in my hand and my eyes were struck by the words etched in the sidewalk.
IN DIRECT LINE WITH ANOTHER and THE NEXT.
Mr. Zoom and I looked at each other, puzzled, and in a way, more frightened than we were with the Bruce Lee look-alike bearing down on us. Could the partial headline and these odd words have a connection to each other....and to Demi?

In Direct Line With Another And The Next
Does anyone else's head hurt?
This is the continuing story of Demi Less and her quest to find her other half. The quest has led her...and us, from Virginia to New York City. If you are just joining us, you might want to read Part 1. Start at the last photo and move forward.

I thought I would slow things around by posting this. Taking a short break from the tour!
Found this small snail (the shell measures about less than 1.5cm) in my garden and I must have taken about 5 dozen photos of this creature. Lucky for it, it does not have any eyes, otherwise it would be blinded.
Is this a boring photo? btw, the black background is natural... created by using flash!

" We had new orders ! Destroy the A-series assassin droids, before they could kill some Jedi. I kinda failed. Kinda. For me it is okay, but less for command. I destroyed every assassin droids I met , but some of them found some Jedis, and Padawans before me. Not even able to protect themselves from a droid. I have the feeling that we, from the 253rd, are the babysitters of these Jedis. I had to take care of a Padawan who's master was lost. By lost, I mean he was killed. The Jedi, his apprentice and a couple of clone attacked a trench held by Nationalists. Most of the clone died. Well, all of them in fact. The Jedis made it into the trench, and started to cut some arms. And head. Stuffs like that. But then the assassin droid I was tracking found them. He shot the Jedi in the back, and was about to do the same to the Padawan, but I killed it before it could do that regrettable act . Then the Padawan get shot by one of the few Nationalists who were remaining. I finished what the Jedis started in the trench. Only one Nationalist was alive. He was yelling in pain, as the Jedi, before he died, cut his leg.
/CT-1024-52, Me/ Hey, Padawan. Achieve this man. He's suffering.
/Padawan/ .. No ! I ... I can't ! I can't ! No !! Help me to get out of there !
/CT-1024-52, Me/ Not until you achieve him.
/Padawan/ Why don't you do it yourself ?
/CT-1024-52, Me/ Always the clones who have to do the dirty work right ? No, I don't want to.
/Padawan/ You said he was suffering. Do it
/CT-1024-52, Me/ No. I don't give a fuck if he's suffering. I don't want to. You should be happy that I'm not mutilating him right now. But, you don't like to see him suffer. You're a Jedi after all. Well, sort of.
He stabbed the men in is heart
/Padawan/ Now help to get out of here. I'm wounded.
/CT-1024-52, Me/ I don't care. Get out that trench alone. I already saved your life. Twice.
/Padawan/ Twice ?
/CT-1024-52, Me/ The A-serie droid first, then the Nationalists. Twice. Now get out of there, we're moving. The command, unlike me, would be happy to see a Jedi alive. Even if you're not really a Jedi.
/Padawan/ You're completly insane.
/CT-1024-52, Me/ Yeap, I know. I'm fucked up. I'm a bit of a psychopath... But adapted to this war.
Indeed I was. Jabiim is an hell. I liked it at first, but now, I just want to get out of there. Because of the wrong decisions from command, we will lost. It's sure. Alpha, Kenobi, and most of the Jedis generals are missing. Or dead. I think that none of us will leave this planet alive."

Explore 25 April 2020, #40! Remarkable...
The last time I visited Rosewell terminus was in the thick of winter - the 'great' winter no less of 2009/2010! The snow here was thick, crisp and even and I felt like Good King Wenceslas with his staff, plowing through the fields - and that was just the road all around here!
Gemini 764 branded for Service 31 in this stylish orange livery sits ahead of Volvo B7RLE number 156 on the 49. I enjoyed this summer evening journey very much, particularly for the terrific driving skills of Mr. Cuthill who just never messes around with anything or anyone. Greatly entertaining!
A ranch road winds its way through rugged country.
As we bounced along over rocks in a truck with air-filled tires and shock absorbers, it was easy to understand how much harder on a body this must have been in the days of stage coaches and wagons with metal-rimmed wooden wheels.
They were less sour than most cranberries - I enjoyed eating the ripest ones raw. And the sauce my wife made was sooo good!
at a point in life where ending it seems to be a relieving option, it needs people who make life worth living again.
Whilst it's often tempting to include the whole of an interesting tree, filling the frame with the details can also work well. Sometimes less is more!

-Il bianco è un colore con alta luminosità ma senza tinta. Più precisamente contiene tutti i colori dello spettro elettromagnetico ed è chiamato anche colore acromatico. Il nero è l'assenza di colori.
-L'impressione della luce bianca è creata dall'unione di certe intensità dei colori primari dello spettro: rosso, verde e blu. Bisogna notare che l'illuminazione prodotta con questa tecnica è diversa da quella prodotta dall'incandescenza.
-La parola bianco deriva dall'alto tedesco antico blanch, modificato in blank con il significato di "splendente".
-Prima che venisse accettata la teoria di Newton, la maggior parte degli scienziati riteneva che il bianco fosse il colore fondamentale della luce, e che gli altri colori si formassero solamente con l'aggiunta di qualcosa alla luce. Newton invece dimostrò che il bianco era formato dalla combinazione di altri colori.
-La luce bianca, al passaggio attraverso un prisma di cristallo, crea un arcobaleno con la gamma completa dei colori, suddividendosi infatti in tutti i colori da cui è composta.
-Nella scienza della luce c'è un continuum di colori della luce che possono esser chiamati "bianco". Alcuni di questi colori sono quelli emessi tramite l'incandescenza da un corpo a temperatura molto elevata (v. Radiazione di corpo nero): per esempio, il colore della radiazione emessa da un corpo nero riscaldato alla temperatura di 2848 kelvin è grosso modo equivalente alla luce della lampadina a incandescenza per uso domestico. Si dice pertanto che quest'ultima ha una temperatura di colore di 2848 kelvin. La luce bianca emessa dalle lampade di teatro ha invece una temperatura di colore superiore: circa 3200 K; la luce del giorno ha una temperatura di colore di 5400 K, ma può variare da un rosso freddo fino a un blu a 25000 K. Non tutte le radiazioni di un corpo possono essere considerate luce bianca: la temperatura della radiazione dell'universo, ad esempio, è solo di pochi kelvin ed è quasi invisibile.
-Nella tradizione cinese e indiana, il bianco è il colore del lutto, della morte e dei fantasmi.
-La bandiera bianca è un segno internazionale di arresa o armistizio, cioè simbolo di intenti pacifici in tempo di guerra.
Czech Republic - Thermalium in Teplice (Teplitz) - Complex of thermal pools, which are open to the public, filled exclusively from the Ancient Spring, natural healing source. Know that while the thermal water is diluted in other Czech spas, because there is not enough water, there is absolutely original. The relaxation pool offers a large number of rehabilitation and massage elements and it has a temperature of 35 ° C, the second pool, designated for swimming, has six degrees Celsius less. Both together form a surface of 420 square meters of water area. There are also available Finnish, steam, tropical and bio sauna and a Kneipp path, designated to support the blood circulation in the legs. Those who did not walk, they did not know Teplice in all its beauty.
