I did not look at all your photos but you certainly have some amazing ones! I particularly enjoyed the damselflies. I have had a few blue ones over my garden pond but have never photographed them.

Thanks

Of course there the possibility of them being beamed south. A Bavarian motor company specialises in that method.

Back in action, I see!
After that diet of serious reading, it's time for Marcel Proust for you, Mister.

Yes it is Lincoln. There have been a few major changes in recent years since the University arrived. Lots of new restaurants down by the river, new shopping centres......The old city stays the same of course.

I assume these are pictures of Lincoln. Or am I wrong?

I had a few business trips there in the mid 1980s and loved the old town. No question of losing your evening to checking e-mail on your laptop then!

If it is Lincoln then your great photos remind me of a lovely 2-days in the first year of my marriage. My Dutch wife was unemployed in London and was thrilled when she joined me for a business trip to Lincoln. I was stuck for days in boring meetings while she really got to know the city.

The Alchemist is a great book- simple but succinct :D

Pullman??? Alexander The Great, serious history book, but a very good read. Next stop Canada, southern Ontario to be slightly more precise. Long Point, Point Pelee and Algonquin Provincial Park. No bugs, just birds and hopefully a few moose and beavers. Less than 3 weeks to go, I had better start doing my homework, left it rather late. No problem.

I still find it very surprising that atheism gets such a negative stereotyping in the US. Found those other vids, by the way:

One of the worst experiences of my life was, living with a couple of Born Agains in S. Idaho for several months. So narrow minded, so brain washed, but an eye opening experience.

Thank you, I'm listening to a radio stream from S. Cal. This could be a long term project.

Hey FL! There's some good interviews with Dawkins available as media files here: http://www.reitstoen.com/dawkins.php

I've also seen one where he presented at a Bible belt college but can't find the url, off-hand.

I think I require escapism in my reading, so therefore lots of sci-fi on my bookshelves, cold war thrillers and Far East epics courtesy of James Clavell. The further away from home the better! A character based novel would probably be lost on me, I need the adventure, excitement, crazy hairbrained ideas. But then again I am trying to broaden my horizons, learn new and wonderful things, so perhaps one day I'll appreciate characters and understand people better in the process. But then again that is far too deep for me :)

As somebody who struggled with English literature at school I also regard myself as an "ignorant peasant". However, just as 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' I think any book is what the reader makes or doesn't make of it.

I found "A Perfect Spy" fascinating. I suppose I found that the whole development of Rick's character in the story was remarkable. Apparently David Cornwell's (John le Carre) father was a conman and Rick's character might have been based on his father.

Definitely a few orgies going on. I had to tread very carefully. Seemed to be a shortage of females around the pond. Oh well :(

Looks like some of them are having orgies! I suppose orgies are good for keeping warm.
