Aussi Land of Change.

Brisbane sure puts on a show .

Australia, home to such as Nicole Kidman and Russel Crowe, can be proud as crowds come in to watch how movies are made.

I wonder which movie they are acting out today?
Will people be changed because of what they see?

This country also came out with bra burning, Germaine Greer and some very well known Aboriginal Authors.

One of them, Noodgeroo Noonuccal, wrote verse.

We Are Going

They came in to the little town

A semi-naked band subdued and silent

All that remained of their tribe.

They came here to the place of their old bora ground
Where now the many white men hurry about like ants.

Notice of the estate agent reads: 'Rubbish May Be Tipped Here'.
Now it half covers the traces of the old bora ring.
'We are as strangers here now, but the white tribe are the strangers.

We belong here, we are of the old ways.
We are the corroboree and the bora ground,
We are the old ceremonies, the laws of the elders.
We are the wonder tales of Dream Time, the tribal legends told.

We are the past, the hunts and the laughing games, the wandering camp fires.
We are the lightening bolt over Gaphembah Hill
Quick and terrible,
And the Thunderer after him, that loud fellow.

We are the quiet daybreak paling the dark lagoon.
We are the shadow-ghosts creeping back as the camp fires burn low.
We are nature and the past, all the old ways
Gone now and scattered.

The scrubs are gone, the hunting and the laughter.
The eagle is gone, the emu and the kangaroo are gone from this place.
The bora ring is gone.
The corroboree is gone.
And we are going.'

Change and life, is like a dream you live in.
Your memory serves like a movie you watch and relive over and over again.
Time gives you a chance to relive the mistakes and the joys, to make you a better person.
Man is indeed a creature of wonder.

Have a good day! :)

A Back Yard Bliss

My yard is an overgrown forest.
I love keeping it this way as everything fits in.
The birds, flowers, trees, wild life and most of all, Beau.
Like everything else in the back yard, he is growing older and scruffier but he is the same
loving smart pup we got 8 years ago.
He likes to hide behind branches and play hide and seek with you because he never wants to come inside, thus keeping his old inherited dog traits
Coaxing him back in is not exactly my cup of tea.
He still needs a 10 year old boy to play with him but my youngest has already outgrown dogs.
Beau watches the wild life and keeps the coons and cats at bay.
He says this is my turf. No trespassers but it seems no one cares and trespass anyway. lol
Spring is a beautiful time in my back yard as things begin to grow again.
You forget winter and all the rain and concentrate on the glory of rebirth.
The smells of new fresh grasses and chirping of birds makes your heart flutter.
Nothing like nature at her best.

We finally moved on in Hockey to the next level.
This is the first time in 17 years that we got so far.
The Canucks played an aggressive game because they said they needed the rest in between series. The next series will really be a difficult one. Both Detroit and San Jose are stacked with excellent players and goalies.It's going to be a difficult haul.
Ryan Kesler really did a lot for this game and ended up the teams' MVP


Nicole Kidman was in the Nashville Audience. We saw her at two Nashville games.

With a bursting heart I wish you all a very beautiful day!
:)

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, British scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the Brit's, in the weeks that followed, an American archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story was published in the New York Times:
"American archaeologists, finding traces of 250-year-old copper wire, have concluded that theirancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the British".

One week later, Canadian Dept. of Mines and Resources in Newfoundland reported the following:

"After digging as deep as 30 feet in NE Canada, Jack Lucknow, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely bugger all. Jack has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Canada had already gone wireless."

Just makes one proud to be Canadian, doesn't it?
