You and I,
we know our blogs
are rather small fish
on the
InterWebNet.
But think of this:
a restaurant
that served
100 meals
a day
would be a
raging success!
Thanks
for having
a cup
of words
and pictures here.
Don't forget
to 'tip'
your server
with a
comment.
Warmly, cloudia
I like the idea of cleaning up ones own soul first but then we have been using landfills and fouling oceans for so long, I can stay dirty a little longer to work to cap the stink coming in from the breeze.
