Edgar Bloom announced his decision on a Tuesday morning, shortly after breakfast, while the kettle was still warm.
“I am going to do nothing,” he said to no one in particular.
At first, it sounded like the sort of declaration people made before eventually doing something else. Edgar, however, meant it with the solemnity of a vow. He sat down in the armchair by the window, folded his hands, and waited for nothing to happen.
Nothing obliged.
From that day forward, Edgar committed himself to inaction with an almost athletic discipline. He did not work. He did not marry. He did not travel, protest, invent, create, improve, or regret. He allowed food to be placed near him and consumed it without preference. He slept when sleep arrived and woke when it left.
At first, people took note. Newspapers ran short items: “Local Man Chooses Nothing”. Philosophers wrote letters asking if he might clarify his position. Edgar did not reply. Children visited him on school trips. They stared, waiting for something interesting to occur. One child asked, “Is he finished yet?” A teacher said, “No, he’s still doing it.”
Old age came without ceremony. His body continued its private negotiations: bones thinned, breath shortened, skin folded itself patiently. Edgar made no comment.
On his final day, the light through the window lingered longer than usual. He lay still, listening to the smallest sounds: a clock ticking, the soft cut of wings passing overhead.
It was then he decided to speak. When a visitor asked him, gently, “Why?” Edgar considered this for a long moment, as though testing the weight of the word.
“I was afraid I’d choose the wrong path through life,” he said at last. “So I chose none.”
He paused. “And somehow,” he added, “it still took me exactly where I was meant to go.”

I love to go to movies. In a theatre with a crowd. The crowd is optional, but prefered...
I probably average one a week during the course of a year.
A FEW RANDOM THOUGHTS AND WORTHLESS OPINIONS...
I hate arriving late for a movie. If the show is about to start... be prepared to see something else or buy tickets for the next showing. "I'm very anal about this". The last time I walked into a darkened theatre was the final installment of "Star Wars". This was only because I had already seen it... I like to have my popcorn and be seated before the coming attractions... "coming attractions" ARE a part of the movie experience. Commercials, on the other hand, suck.
Jodie Foster is the only movie star who's films I go to just because she's in them.
Russell Crow is my favorite actor. I am still miffed that he did not win the Oscar for "A Beautiful Mind". A film which won "Best Picture", "Best Director", "Best S. Actress", and "Best Writing". All for a movie in which every scene surrounds his character. losing to Denzel Washington(a very good performance) in "Training Day"(an ok film)... so wrong.
... that said. I do think Halle Berry was brilliant in "Monster's Ball". The last ten minutes alone were worthy of an Oscar nomination. She had very little dialogue during this part of the film. The emotions were conveyed in her facial expressions and body language. "Simply amazing"
"As Good As It Gets" is that rare movie where I leave the theatre wishing the characters would just keep going... the only film since then to bring out this response in me was "Friends With Money". A movie for which I have yet to lend to anyone who liked it.
It's been raining today, and our high temperature is 34F (1.1 C). The world has turned to slush. The meteorologists haven't let go of their gloom and doom predictions, as they say we "might" get some more freezing rain tonight. I hope they are wrong! Six days is enough! I'm sure this little Chestnut-backed Chickadee hopes they are wrong too! (The feathers at the base of its bill are wet).
did you ever buy a crystal, receive the wrong one, send it back, and later, regret it? at least, I took a picture!
At the end of a dreadful week where nothing seems to have gone right, the only thing that looked like being a remote success was at least getting some 86`s in the sun. Due to a few restrictions, I was not able to go far today, and I am glad I didn`t! So here I was at Barby Nortoft waiting for 4L75 Trafford Park-Felixstowe, and hoping that 86609 was going to be fronting it. However, I was soon kicked in the teeth when I noticed messy 86622 leading. It will have to do i suppose. Crap sky too, maybe next week........

Wrong Turn 2003.
..Friends Jessie (Eliza Dushku) and Carly (Emmanuelle Chriqui) are traveling with pals Scott (Jeremy Sisto), Evan (Kevin Zegers) and Francine (Lindy Booth) when they have car trouble in West Virginia. Moments later, motorist Chris (Desmond Harrington) crashes into their disabled vehicle. Stranded, the friends discover that they're being stalked by a horde of backwoods cannibals. The woodsmen are hungry and fierce, and they'll be eating well unless Jessie and pals can outsmart them.

It is actually a deadly 2.5" half-smooth, half-serrated knife with tactical grip. One minute you are enjoying a bowl of cereal, and the next you are fighting off attackers with this deadly and disguised weapon.
Purtroppo non sempre gli IC sono girati dal lato giusto.... è il caso del 511, qui in transito da Quercianella, con pilota in testa, nello scorso agosto.
Now if anyone out there knows that I have got the name wrong please don't be shy.
I am out of my depth on small butterflies and bugs various :-/
So thank you for viewing and if I have got it wrong be sure and let me know :-)
Best regards Martin

Sometimes the power and lighting is correct when you line up your shot, only to have the train lined for the lesser track. Such was the case here. This ED9 was out of Ayer and making good time, even with a pickup in Gardner. That's when the trouble started. I arrived at this location with plenty of time to spare. Then the B&M-era searchlight signal in the distance lit up for an eastbound. Bad news - that meant my train would be held at Tyter's, and I was staring at an hour wait. Good news - the light would be good for track 2. Really good. So of course they were lined for track 1, the slow track. Whatever, at least I had the correct leader. Taken June 20, 2021
Apparently the tropical milkweed plants sold in stores may cause problems for Monarch butterflies: entomologytoday.org/2015/01/16/planting-the-wrong-kind-of...
After reading about it, I harvested a few of the remaining "native" seeds from the milkweeds in one of the parks and now have them stored damp in my refrigerator. Will try to grow them this year.

Wrong dimensions: 1st, they are falling to wrong place ( small ones), noting is there to catch them. 2nd, at right place ( shifted because of wrong dimensions) where there is something to catch big ones, there is also something wrong ( again because of wrong dimensions). A bigger one clogged the way, too big, coming ones can not get in.

‘Autistic’ macro photo shoot session.
One of the last photos of this lens before it fell and locked the aperture and focus adjustment. The newly purchased Panagor teleconverter (a revelation, adjustable ZOOM) turned out to be C/Y in the mount, and the lens has an O/OM mount and by manually holding it we could test the macro capabilities. What could go wrong? It happened and the teleconverter and the Kiron fell out of my hand....
Red, red wine
Go to my head
Make me forget that I
Still need her so
Red, red wine
It's up to you
All I can do, I've done
But memories won't go
No, memories won't go
I'd have thought
That with time
Thoughts of her
Would leave my head
I was wrong
And I find
Just one thing makes me forget
Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearin' apart
My blue, blue heart

DO NOT KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH FLICKR, SO PLEASE, ONLY HERE will you see it CORRECTLY! A MUST on HERE
Wherever we go in the world, it is especially the sea that attracts us most.
We're always drawn to the harbouur, not to admire the big luxury yachts, no, the fishing harbour, the working boats, the people, the different methods they use.
The netting depends obviously on the type of catch they fish for. The majority of rigged nets are made to order, allowing fishermen to have exactly the right net for their needs.
Here, in England and the North, the size of the mesh is often bigger than what we saw here in Spain.
I fell in love with this scene when I saw it!
The colours, aahh, everything!
Of course I took a whole selection, this is only the first one.
I am going to continue with our 'days in Spain', right now, I have to do other things...
Thank you for your comments and time.
Enjoy and make the BEST of every day! Thanx, M, (*_*)

Why not view the set as a slide-show?
Also I often upload more than one image at the same time, I see a tendency to only view the last uploaded...
