and the tide rushes in, and washes our castles away, than I'm realy not so sure which side of the bed I should lay, or should I lay in an orange grove ?

...or remember the orange sunshine on my shoulder while I was watching those castles made of sand slip into the sea as the moody blue moon rose like a big bald Buddha head for the very first time to the tune of laughing guitars ....

Seems that all the bees are dying again. Supposedly they had recovered. SO is this new declaration wholly true or is it just another press release preparing everyone for huge agriculture price hikes?

Now if the Wasps (The bastards of the insect world) replaced bees they could collect pollen and punch thier way out of trouble as it came.

If bees were a pop star theyd be Nick Drake.
Wasps would be The Sex Pistols.

Just a thought...

California almond growers have to go to 'Rent-A-Bee.' :shock:

What is it in the beholder that beholds the beholder in the act of beholding?

That would be self-awareness...or, alternatively, some biological sensory feedback loop that tricks us into believing in an illusion of self-awareness. The mind is an unconcious conjuror, producing dreamy white rabbits of habit and multi-coloured hankerchiefs of thought from the empty top-hat of the universe. (Or so I'm told by the voices in my head at this late hour of the night.) :lol:

I do, nevertheless, try to take my top hat and cane and dance down the Fred Astaire staircase of emptiness with as much style as I can muster, especially considering the gale of cruel existentialism that roars through the ruined ballroom of life. :wink:
