Cartoon of the Week

The Other Side of Sixty
Random thoughts from an older perspective, writing, politics, spirituality, climate change, movies,knitting, writing, books, refinishing furniture, getting off the grid, writing, plotting and planning an organic garden, writing. I MUST STAY DRUNK ON WRITING SO REALITY DOES NOT DESTROY ME.
About Me
- Name: Wisewebwoman
- Location: Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada
Irish by birth, Newfoundlandler by avocation - I live here 80% of the time. The other 20% is spent where the wind blows me. I think random thoughts on an even more random universe. Elevated, exhilarated and exalted by the fact I am living in this day and age. I've come all the way from hand-cranked calculators in an endless room of clerical drones to a flat monitored multi-gigabyted home office where the work comes to me. How absolutely cool is that???
AH, G'WAN ~ EMAIL ME

Class!
Excellent point!
What I liked about this is that it works on so many different levels for me!!!

LOL! I suppose Miss Earth will turn up one day - in more ways than one, and without capital letters!
;-)
this made me chuckle - and hope that the rest of the universe is not really paying attention or we may be in big trouble ;)
Hi WWW, Westward Ho is more a comic mystery than a high falutin' novel. It can be found at Amazon.com. under Marcia Mayo or under the title.
the beauty of the universe surpasses human beauty so score millions for the universe

I bet the rest of the Universe has these pageants all the time, they're just not telling our puny little planet.
Tee hee.
Well they did used to have a Mr Universe contest didn't they?
Heh. It reminds me of the World Series. "Yes, it's the rest of the planet here. You might remember we met back in, when was it now..."
