Merry (Belated) Christmas

Merry Christmas. I've been taking a bit of a break from the blog (less a break than have been distracted by other things this holiday season), but shortly it'll be business as usual. In the meanwhile, please enjoy the holiday season...

Strange Science

Image: RhinocerusWhat is easily forgotten is that scientists are frequently rejected as well. Unfortunately for them, it's usually not until their theories have been current for a few hundred years or so. Maybe fortunately, as they get to collect royalties the whole time ...

Anyways, here's a link to some of the fabulous beasts that, according to some, once existed upon the earth. According to others they still do, but that's a separate posting. In any event they've landed in the "rejected" section because their theories or illustrations are no longer taken seriously by mainstream science.

The rest of the site is worth a peek as well - Link:  http://www.strangescience.net/

of Tibet

I dreamed that we finally made it to Tibet and were sitting in a Monastery, having breakfast or lunch or something. It was a long trip, we had to climb that mountain, the dream mountain wreathed in mists and riddled in caves with Tea Huts halfway up, (this I've dreamed of a few times, but have never reached the summit...), but it's behind us now and we can just enjoy the view.

This Monastery or Lamasery, it's a lot like the Banff Springs Hotel, or one of the better hotels in Prague. The ceilings are high and looking up I can see that I've painted my portrait over them all, I did that the last time I/we were here, a couple of years ago but I don't remember an awful lot more, the paintings aren't so good but I'm not too fussed, nobody is looking at the ceiling anyways....
