Yet where is the mariner who will tell thee, 'Sir, it was not so much the fear of striking hidden rocks, as the fear of that hideous whiteness that so stirred me?' <br /><br />I tell you this for your own good as you are notoriously headbound. Listen to your soul! And watch out for those cardinal markers! (perhaps if Melville were writing today it would be the yellow and black whale we felt an essential terror of.)arf_she_saidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864763810190821202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6852511613497845572.post-21390448625562275022015-08-28T06:45:07.854+09:302015-08-28T06:45:07.854+09:30I've found tyranting the hell out of screws is...I've found tyranting the hell out of screws is counter productive so I tend to speak in quiet, soft tones to them through gritted teeth now :-)Davohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17138702505272639572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6852511613497845572.post-73007752155838567912015-08-27T15:37:11.252+09:302015-08-27T15:37:11.252+09:30Great reading, great photos!

Looking forward to the whale and kestrel pics!<br /><br />Currently reading Moby Dick so I feel compelled to warn you away from any Migaloos -- and Terry, watch out for any signs he is becoming a tyrant, if he starts yelling at those screw heads to obey seek assistance immediately.arf_she_saidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864763810190821202noreply@blogger.com
