Sharks R People 2

These fibreglass sharks are mounted above fish n'chip shops allover Victoria. There is one in Glenhuntly Rd Elsternwick, and this one is in Lakes Entrance.
Poor Sharky gets such a Bad Press for being a shark. Doesn't seem fair to me.
His space is invaded and he reacts with the only weapon he has, as we would when ours is. "Mmmm those tanned muscly surfers sure taste good."

Off The Rails & On The Road

"I hear that train a'comin', coming round the bend,

And I aint seen the sunshine, since I dont know when ..."

Since it is the birthdate of the Late Mr John Cash,

a rail-related post is required.
If His Beatness J.Kerouac 

had owned a Hello Kitty 

wheelie-bag, while ridin the rail, he would have 

photographed it having breakfast 

at the Ballarat Station Dining Room.

Those of you with sharp eyes will note 

the impressive Mars display in back of the KittyBag.  

The 'Rat is the home of Mars Confectionery, and 

they also own Whiskas, so stand by for chocolate-coated fish bars, or caramel flavoured catfood. Nothing would surprise me.

remembering our 'first'

The first time I ever went onto the WWW, the easiest site to find was The White House one, and I clicked on 'Socks The cat' and heard him miaow.
My degree of sophistication has hardly improved in the subsequent 17 years, and I will always remember dear Socks fondly.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Socks, the cat who won international fame during his years in the Clinton White House, was euthanized Friday after months of treatment for cancer.
He had been a stray and was adopted by Chelsea Clinton, the Clintons' daughter, when Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas.
The cat had been losing weight since November and had been treated at the clinic, Dera said. He had been suffering from a cancer in his mouth and jaw.
Since the Clintons left the White House in 2001, Socks had lived with Betty Currie, former President Bill Clinton's secretary. The Clintons were known to have visited Socks, and Currie, when in Washington.
Socks, born about 1989, was put to sleep at Three Notch Veterinary Clinic in Hollywood, Maryland. Veterinarians say he was probably 19 or 20 years old.
(I suspect assassination by the CIA who heard he had pawed a tell-all book)
