The Writer's Life 3/1 - Words & Pictures
From foxnews.com, edited by yours truly: A Texas grandmother on vacation in Iceland had an interesting experience. She saw folks taking turns sitting on a beached iceberg shaped sort of like a throne. When she tried it herself a wave swept her out to sea. The coast guard rescued her. Here's a pic taken by her son:
From the NY Post, edited by YT: Here's another example of political correctness run amok. Responders to emergencies often have to deal with derelicts or drunks who spit at them. In one instance a worker was sprayed in the eye and nose and was subsequently ill for a month. Officials have found a solution - spit masks. Now some are worried that they will be deemed offensive, likened to KKK hoods by certain citizens. This is madness. Only a moron would be unable to differentiate an EMT from a Klansman. Here's a pic of one possible mask:
From foxnews.com, edited by YT: More insanity. A Bible carried by a POW in WWII was donated and displayed on the Missing Man Table memorial in Manchester, N.H.. The veteran's hospital exhibit honors MIA's and POW's. The book was removed when a group deemed it "intolerable" and "unconstitutional." It was then moved to a display - under glass, and the group filed another complaint, claiming it promotes one faith over others. To satisfy the self righteous, let's pretend some soldiers didn't carry Bibles. For the record, I'm not a believer.
The first March session of the floating book shop was a cold one. My thanks to the gentleman who did a swap of Russian books, and to the one who bought one of the new additions.
