Yeah maybe creative, but just not funny...however, you gotta admit...at least no one is getting hurt.  Maybe scared to death, and possibly experiencing a lot of sleepless nights, and at times...moments of rage and indignation might surface...but thankfully no one was harmed.

Oh, let's back track a bit with some background that will explain what I mentioned above.  It seems that at a  billionaires retreat in Porto Cervo, in Sardinia thieves are gassing the homes of the wealthy and while they are peacefully dreaming...these pick-pockets are leisurely robbing them of all the valuables that they can carry.

I'm sure the victims, will probably hand a pink slip to whatever security company they are currently employing, and upgrade!  After all, when you have money, you do have a host of options.

But who do you think are the bad guys here, I'm betting on some former billionaire who's hit rock bottom and whose quite familiar with the 'in's and outs' of a high-end community like this one...but forget my thoughts, what do you think?

Today I happened to notice a really disturbing NEWS article.  When I first viewed the title, I thought it was about someone sneaking across the Canadian border.  It read like this 'Another Foot Sneaks Ashore In Canada'.

How far from the truth was that assumption...light-years!

It seems that in the last four years, at least 12 feet...of which only 2 were identified have washed ashore in the same general location...near Vancouver...not far from Washington State.  This last foot, was clad in a sneaker, hence the article title.

And what's even more odd/creepy/eerie and a bit terrifying about this mystery...is that these feet along with a section of their ankle, didn't appear to have been amputated,  the authorities are thinking that they were naturally separated in the currents.

Well, I would accept that explanation if it occurred maybe a couple of times...maybe, but 12 ???

Somethings up, and it doesn't bode well!  Let's hope, that they really get lucky and discover exactly what is happening in those water's really soon !!!

Distraction and I are bosom buddies, not an hour goes by where I don't lose sight of what I should be doing, and inadvertently end up following another unrelated course.

Let's for example, use today to illustration the process...my 'game plan' was to 'catch up' on some much needed reading to complete a task that had been placed on hold by me, weeks ago.

So, what do I do...well, while reading some text and in order to get a fuller understanding of the subject I was reviewing...I followed links within the document.

Okay, I don't know how I arrived at the following HubPage...but the article was so captivating that I felt compelled to scribble down some thoughts that had 'popped up' after reading the page.  The subject matter was just too informative, vital and uplifting to ignore.

This author's passage 'struck a chord' and instantly I knew for many this could be 'food for thought', the gentle nudge that might be needed by someone to continue following a path that he/she might be on the verge of abandoning.

Many of us...myself included...have pursued different projects throughout our lives, that in some instances went completely south...and in it's wake left a very bruised, and  disillusioned soul.

Some of us have never, ever received a word of encouragement, support or a heartfelt 'Hey, I like what you got going on'...from anyone.  And for other's, the one's that are closest to us, have been the cruelest critics.

Well, revmjm composed a HubPage that I personally need to enlarge and plaster on the walls in every room of my house.  As a reminder, that the world's 'Greatest Minds' greatest triumph were not only the accomplishments that they finally received recognition for during their lives or unfortunately, sometimes long after they had died, yes...those...but the qualities that are apparently inherent in their psyche.

Passion, determination, a driven personality...that knew the path that they followed was the path that defined who they were.

Anyway, please read this...guaranteed it will make your day.

My...My...My...Look at how far we have come, a wallet that has been designed to ward off the possibility of a theft.  Get this, it's fingerprint protected!  Incredibly, only you have access to the contents therein...and it's been mentioned that this wallet is as close to indestructible as any wallet has every been.

'What's more' this little treasure can be linked to your cell phone via Bluetooth and if either are separated by more than 15 feet an alarm will sound.  Now, all of these little goodies come at a really high price...$825.00...Nope, I'm not kidding!  However, if security is an issue and you have 'money like that' then this wallet is 'for you'.

So, if your curiosity is peeked...it's made by Dunhill...The Dunhill Biometric Wallet!

The young adults of today, really need to do a thorough reality check.  The media has all of us hostage, and they have us completely convinced that what they are selling, has true value.

Truth be told...what they are selling on the aire, is what they are selling!  Everything that's showcased in the media, financially benefits a host of associated industries.  They are deceptively creeping into our pockets, and in the wake of that invasion...they are leaving a bunch of frustrated individual, that have a misguided idea of what really matters.

When my great grandmother was alive, many of the foods that she prepared for her family was frowned upon by folks on the other side of the track.  Now the beans, the cabbage, and the 'other white meat' are...welcomed additions to the dinner table.

Bold colorful frocks, dancing with careless abandon, a deeply tanned skin...just wasn't haute couture.  A woman with a large rear-end, or plump lips with a frizzy hair-style wearing dangling earrings was seen as primitive and an uneducated savage...but today...it's the rage!


We're acting like 'puppets on a string'...wherever the 'piper leads' we aimlessly follow!

Now, I've really been out of the loop, because I didn't realize that people were actually having buttock enhancements performed. However, they are and a 20 year old young woman recently died as a result of having that procedure done, illegally.  The surgery was performed in a Pennsylvania HOTEL, by someone whose qualifications are unknown, because she hasn't been found yet.

In this unfortunate young ladies case, silicone was used and it was inadvertently injected into a vein.  But this isn't an isolated case, many are having this surgery performed.  This young woman however, and friends traveled from England to have this done, and for 2 of them, this wasn't there first visit...it was a return  trip.  Last year, both had enhancements done by the same faux physician.  And believe it or not, they found out about her faux-practice via the internet.

And from what I've read, silicone isn't the only medium that's used [gosh, you would think that it would be uncomfortable, especially when sitting].  Not to mention the health implication...at some point in their lives, the stuff that's being injected into their bodies will have to be removed.

Maybe for some, this isn't considered news...but I must share a few thoughts I have on this season's  television program line-up's.

I am a bit of a ScyFy buff and 'Merlin' definitely satisfies my thirst for fantasy, mystery and adventure.  And  continuing along those lines, 'The Cape' ROCKS!  Although, it also deal with fantasy, mystery and adventure...it also depicts how easily anyone could become a victim.

And if you like saga's about crime, law and order...and maybe you've had it with the run of the mill drama's that they are showing on the tube these day's.  Well, there are a few of new shows that are dealing with the law, but with a twist.  First and definitely at the top of my list is Harry's Law, this show not only had me laughing almost to tearing, on the flip side of that coin, a few events actually lead to teary-eyes.

Next, there's a show that I simply adore...'Fairly Legal'.  In this series, it's the lawyer's that sort of end up getting screwed instead of the people that they defend.  I'm really partial to movies, where the good guys win...hands down.   Well, there's a lot of that pleasantly happening in this series.

And then theirs 'The Defender', a very unlikely set of lawyer's...whose style is laid back, but effective; passionate and determined; and suckers for the innocent.

Finally, a blast from the past...Hawaii 5-0...although, it's a resurfaced oldie...it's smoking.  The stories are fresh, the actors/actress have chemistry working in their favor and it's just a really worthwhile way to spend an hour of my evening.

This season...needless to say...has been really easy to simply lose myself  and become a prisoner of the telly...a sentence that I eagerly accept and succumb too.

Whenever I listen to a discussion that covers an issue that I know could have a huge impact on governments and policies and people...at times, I tend to become overcome with a strong concern about how much of what I'm hearing is true and more importantly, if any of it is true...'what can be done?'

Recently, there was a commentary on television about the uprising in Egypt, and the possibility that because of the plight that the populace has been subjected to...various subversive elements are taking advantage of this highly volatile situation to gain a foothold in this country's infrastructure, using this chaotic crisis as a means of access.  Now if that were to happen, that could possibly lead to the introduction of a political system that could be even worst than what's in existence in that country at present, and the global impact could be tragic.

Certainly, the government is aware of where this uproar is leading...why not listen to the people...talk to the leaders of this movement.  Find a common ground and work to develop a system that works for everyone involved.  Why sit back and lose this nation to chaos.

Too much is at stake.
