Hi H....!

This is for you...

This summer you can visit India...

If is that so, you will need a map!

I hope you like it!

Strong as an ant!

An ant can lift 20 times its own body weight.

What do the stars think about us?

The Sun returns to its home sign today, roaring its way into heart-centered Leo at 6:54 am EDT. The midsummer Sun exhibits the true power of intent, relentlessly showing up high in the sky day after day. In a way, we can all be like flowers in full bloom now, boldly demonstrating our beauty. Mercury's easy trine to electric Uranus enables us to flash our intelligence, yet the dreamy Pisces Moon reminds us that what's hidden is also important.text:here

Happy birthday!

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela is a former President of South Africa, the first to be elected in fully representative democratic elections. Before his presidency, Mandela was an anti-apartheid activist and leader of the African National Congress and its armed wing Umkhonto we Sizwe. He spent 27 years in prison, much of it on Robben Island, on convictions for crimes that included sabotage committed while he spearheaded the struggle against apartheid.
Mandela has received more than one hundred awards over four decades, most notably the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. He is currently a celebrated elder statesman who continues to voice his opinion on topical issues. In South Africa he is often known as Madiba, an honorary title adopted by elders of Mandela's clan. The title has come to be synonymous with Nelson Mandela.
Mandela has frequently credited Mahatma Gandhi for being a major source of inspiration in his life, both for the philosophy of non-violence and for facing adversity with dignity.
He was born on 18th July. Happy Birthday!

Joke of the week

How does an elephant get down from a tree?
It sits on a leaf and waits for autumn.

There must be an answer!

And what about "our friend France"?

Bastille Day 14 July 2008France

Vive le Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité!
"Aux armes, citoyens!"

What happens when you starve your masses, lock them up, ignore them, or even worse, patronise them? They kind off loose their cool, storm the nearest prison, free the inhouse talent and learn to say "off with their heads!" That’s exactly what the Parisian ordinaire figured out for himself - with a little philosophical and theoretical help from resident brains. Post storming the Bastille, the hoi polloi loaded a few hundred fatcats into tumbrils and sent them off to the nearest guillotine for a quick cut and shave.
When heads begin to roll, its time to up and out and that exactly what the king and his merry men tried to do. At least, some did and some didn’t. Louis XVI and the one and only Marie Antoinette got their comeuppance, or as some would say, finally lost their heads together. Minus a royal head, France became a republic. Whether the French got what they deserved, ours not to say, but at least there were many more heads to roll the next time round.
Still, the French had so much fun, they decided to make it an annual event (the party, not the tantrums). Once rollin’ heads became passé, it was okay to bring out the hardware, flex a few military muscles and flash some fireworks. Those that can, do. Those that can’t hang around the Left Bank, the Right Bank, under the Eiffel Tower, around the Champs Elyseés and wherever there’s some space left to light up a gauloise and drink some champagne.

Vive la revolution!
Mais, Oui!

Have a magnifique Bastille Day!
