In Case of Emergency

In the world we live in, it has become customary to complain about your life. Well, that is what it would seem to be, to any intelligent race that lands on the planet. Just open your ears and listen to the people around you. It’s hard to find anyone upbeat about anything anymore and should you be upbeat, then they lay the beat down on you. For as sure as tomorrow will come, they will have a stupendous amount of reasons why you shouldn’t be happy.
Now, I ask you: “Why the hell not?” Why shouldn’t you be happy? Ignore the stress and worries for the day, because you can always worry tomorrow. If tomorrow doesn’t come, then at least you didn’t waste your today on worrying about something that would not come. I know I am a worry wart. It seems to be expected. At work, everyone passes their worries on to you, then seem surprised when you just listen, nod wisely, and carry on. Why take on someone else’ burdens when you have so many of your own to carry.
Grab your coat. Grab your hat. Leave your worries at the doorstep. Direct your feet to the sunny side of the street.
Put up a sign: “How may I ignore you today?”
And slow the hell down. Life may not have a speed limit, but you sure as hell cannot smell the roses when you are living your life at a man-month an hour.

Lion Park

The heart-stopping moment when a lion calmly padded up to a car on safari... and pulled open the door w ith a 300lb lion in the offing, the couple visiting the safari park could at least console themselves that they had the protection of their car. They watched in glee as the big cat padded up to their white Toyota. Then fascination turned to terror as the creature calmly took the rear-door handle between its teeth ... and pulled it open.   Curiosity: The lion ambles up to the white Toyota and tries the door handle . Now let me get a good grip: The lion puts its jaws around the handle I'm sure I can get in here: The lion starts to open the door of the car Open sesame: It tugs open the door leaving the occupants sitting in stunned disbelief before they drive off   Outta here: The lion looks on as the car it was trying to get into zooms away For several seconds the car remained immobile as its occupants sat in stunned disbelief. Then...

Manta ray breached

This is the first time I've seen a manta ray breaching. Nature channels are full of whales, dolphins and sharks, to name just a few, but never the devil fish!
