Big Artist

Saturday!
Aloha-aaaaAAAAAH


click on the clouds for glory

"Nothing can undo the movies we are led to in our youth,
or the skein of impressions that they leave."
Anthony Lane


"Make the most you can of the Indian Hemp seed and sow it everywhere."
George Washington, 1st US President




"For every person who has ever lived there will come, at last,
a Spring he will never see.
Glory then in the Springs that are yours."
Pam Brown




"A professional is someone who can do his best work
when he doesn't feel like it."
Alistair Cooke

The video above is not a hoax.
My research indicates that these elephants are taught some basics,
but they seem to enjoy what they are doing.
Watch!


ALOHA, cloudia

    I love elephants and they are the most amazing. They are almost human.

    It is ever good to sit upon the sands and do what you do for a pleasurable moment. Soon enough comes the time when one must rise and move back to the concrete and move towards what must be done.

    I continue to visit, absorbing the beautiful quotes and sunlit vistas. We're so white out here in My Muskoka , with startling green pine needles.
    Aloha, friend.

    I'm laughing at the George Washington quote. :)

    Hemp and marijuana are in the same family but not the same plant. The American cotton industry made sure the two were confused many decades ago because hemp was considered a threat to their product. I guess the cotton people never envisioned polyester coming along.

    they should legalize pakalolo (weed) in Hawaii. That'll get rid off the illegal market and bring in revenue for the state.

    "For every person who has ever lived there will come, at last,
    a Spring he will never see.
    Glory then in the Springs that are yours."

    That is such a beautiful quote.

    Oh, gosh.
