News Flash ! Sponsor's Message !

First, a News Flash, this is hot off the press today, spotted at the tail end (well, better the tail end than the "teeth end") of a story on CNN about wildfires in the Australian bush country :
.
"In northern Australia, 60 percent of the state of Queensland was flooded, officials reported, and residents were warned to be on the lookout for crocodiles in urban areas."
.
So, if you are in an urban area in Queensland, wow, watch your back ! Nothing like a good zoo story... like apples, a zoo story a day, keeps the insane asylum attendants at bay.
.
And now, A Message From Our Sponsor :
.
The site-visit-counter added on 1 Jan., 2009, way down at the bottom of this web page is showing that there are a few people starting to drop by this blog from time to time, which is wonderful, as one does not blog in order to remain in total isolation, in the dark, alone... and we, (me, myself, and I) would like to thank you for your visits here, whoever you are, and encourage you to stop by often, as I hope to continue the magic lantern show here as long as I am able.... and there is plenty more to come yet.
