All seems good and everything looks great today and on an added note, I think my Rainsford gobies are starting to spawn.
They normally stay on different ends of the tank, but looking through the back glass they appeared to be doing the Macarana. But it could have been the Hustle or Tango...
Last night I wanted to clean the front glass of my tank because if I don't clean it in 3 days, it looks like sheet metal so I clean it every day.
I lifted the front panel and stuck the glass cleaning magnet inside.
The tank overflowed a little. I figured maybe I dropped it in to fast and it...
Once We were in Sicily looking for my Grand Father's house. He came here in about 1902. So we hired this guide. She was about 18 and looked like Gina Lollobrigida with the boots, leather vest, hair, ear rings, all sorts of make up, a cigarette and her cell phone taped to her head.
The kid was...
This Morning we got "take out" from a diner and went to a local beach and drove almost up to the crashing waves.
Then I took out my DIY hand sanitizer and cleaned my hands and steering wheel, radio, turn signal etc and opened the breakfast cartons and coffee.
We had a nice breakfast and found a...
This is a shot through the back of my tank after I scrapped it clean. It's a mass of sponges.
I also got two of these guys there, very hard to photograph.
Jimmy's wife was beautiful and blind from birth. They met at a school for the blind. Her hobby was collecting Lladro figurines.
Like Really. She has never seen them but when she picked one up, she could tell you everything about it and she had maybe 20 of them.
They owned their own home and...
I learned a lot from my friend Jimmy. Jimmy was about 15 years older than me and had been totally blind from a child.
He couldn't even see light and I used to go to work with him in Manhattan every day on the Railroad.
He easily could have stayed home with his totally blind wife but he chose...
Last night I was thinking about this and I remembered something disturbing. I used to Play Santa Claus in NYU in Manhattan that has a floor for Cancer children and infants. Those kids and little babies are the worst of the cancer patients and something like 40% of them don't make it.
On the...
In these tough times My wife and I have been trying to get innovative and to do things that don't involve other people, or at least not other people that have to get to close.
This week we played a few Scrabble and Monopoly games that I had to dig out of mothballs.
We do a crossword puzzle at...
You mis read my meaning. I only meant we have to endure some hardships for a little while so we can get through this. Not that this disease is not horrible in any way. I am old and live in New York where it is the worst.
I was talking about people complaining that we have to do some things...
Lets not be Snowflakes. Our Fathers or in most of your cases Grand Fathers got drafted and had to go to war. Many of them were away for 6 years making little pay and living in horrible conditions.
418,000 Americans Didn't make it home, dying on the battlefield.
To put it into perspective...
It's pretty warm here today so I decide to get some exercise and take a walk to the beach behind my house. It's about 170 steps almost straight down and being it's kind of still winter, I have not been doing this much yet. In the summer I try to do it almost every day. So I figure I will go...
