Time for serious, sane negotiations
Negotiate with Hamas? Good luck with that.
And, we're back.
That's a very nice photo.
Arvo...shovel...shovel what??..ohh you mean sand at the beach..🏖️🏖️
Not my photo...
LOL. Well I'll never need a shovel again.
A gator gathering on a cold Florida December day (75 degrees).
Basking in the sun and dreaming of a tasty Wiki?
Not any longer Buzz, Wiki left for the Rainbow Bridge a few days ago.
Oh no. I'm so sorry. Wiki Wonder Warrior Wiener was very special.
I completely understand the sadness of such a loss.
Morning Kavika....that is very sad news to hear....🥀🥀
So sorry and no doubt she will be very dearly missed..
They always do leave paw prints across your heart when they go walkies forever..🐾🐾💔
Arvo...
Ahhh snappies in the sun..
This is Brutus.. lives in the Adelaide river up the NT..🐊🐊
"Et tu, Brute?" (Shakespeare's Julius Caesar)
... there's a few pair of shoes.
Will be a bit light on..he was in a fight with another croc and it bit his front right leg off...it was bigger than Brutus..😬😬
some locals down where my mom lived in texas were feeding frozen chickens to a 400+lb gator that had taken up residence in a drainage ditch next to the dollar store. the city finally called in a gator wrangler to haul it away.
Morning...well I guess in some respects he would have been handy... portable automatic garbage disposal unit..
Geez frozen chooks surprised he didn't get a stomach ache..
they got used to eating frozen dinosaurs eons ago...

Winter scene in Chongqing - a photo taken a few years ago on December 16th.
To those of you who knew Wiki from the stories and photos I posted of her our sweet little warrior left for the Rainbow Bridge a few nights ago. Her little lungs gave out and she went peacefully in her sleep.
She was 16 years and 4 months old and she had been with us for 16 years and 1 month. She'll be joining her buddy Annie at the Rainbow Bridge. She will be missed dearly.
My favorite photo of her. Wiki Warrior Wonder Wiener.
My Condolences For Your Loss...
Awww Wiki... rip little buddy.
I always liked seeing her picture here. She was a happy dog that was taken good care of. Sorry for your loss, Charger and dogs Bo & Bailey
Saw your reply to me above before I saw this one and my feelings were first stated there. All of us who knew Wiki have lost something now that she's left us.
It's always sad to lose a beloved pet. Sorry for your loss, Kavika.
🐾🐾💔🥀🥀🥀
Sorry to hear that, Kav. RIP Wiki.
My cat Buddy disappeared yesterday. No clue what happened to him. Just poof, gone.
I hope that you find Buddy, Dig.
Morning...hmmm cats do that sometimes...not shut in somewhere garage, sheds etc...
Fingers crossed he returns..
Check my reply to you about that on my new movie quiz comment wall. Cats do come back. Because of my rule I couldn't use the expression "The Cat Came Back" because it's a movie, but they DO, as mine did.
I've checked and rechecked everywhere. Hopefully he's just wandered off and will come back on his own. He has to be starving by now, though. I hope he's not lost far off in the woods beyond the property line.
Cats can last a long time without food..my neighbours cat did a bunk years ago..was missing came back after two weeks on Christmas Eve..she is 18 years old and still going strong...
Just keep looking and calling..do you have neighbours near by?? Seeing alot of people go on holidays now it may have gone into someone's shed and then been shut in etc...
The bouquet of flowers I got my wife for our anniversary this week in a vintage geranium leaf green Royal Hagger vase. Both are works of art in my opinion.
Happy Anniversary to you and Mrs. evilone.
So is your photo. Happy Anniversary. We just celebrated our 15th on December 5th.
Beautiful.
Morning...happy anniversary to you both...hope you enjoy your special day..
Give her the whole stand!

That is a very nice picture. It reminds me of this flower mart in Nice on the French Riviera.

This whole stand of peonies as well. (Taken at the Annual Peony Festival in Luoyang, Henan Province, PRC)
There is a deli near where I live called Art's Deli. Their slogan is "Every sandwich is a work of art". Haha
I feel sorry for people who don't have good delis nearby...
A great line.
This is my favourite store sign of all time, within walking distance of where we live now, and even beats the Chinese take-out restaurant near where I lived in Toronto, which was called "Ho Lee Chow":

Arvo..that would make a really nice Christmas card scene for the Northern Hemisphere...
Meanwhile down here it's...
LOL!
They are all female flamingos.
It's very easy to tell they are all looking in the mirrors.
And they're all wearing pink. PLEASE, NO COMMENTS ABOUT LGBTQ!!!
I never realized how big they are. I mean, compared to the sinks they look like they could be 5 or 6 feet tall. Wow.
Depending on the type of flamingo they reach 30 to 60 inches in height, Dig.
The Tampon dispenser was vandalized, consequently, in years following, only males were moved into men's facilities, and while the condom machines remained, no flamingo was permitted to bring in loose change.

Brrrrrrr!!!
Tad wet up Cairns in Qld after cyclone Jasper just went through..
Not my photo..
Damn, a sea plane.
NOTE: I will be busy with family this week and may not be able to post the weekly feature article; hopefully Buzz or another Group member will post something. Whether I post or not, every GROUP member is always encouraged to post.
I've done the weekend article a couple of times already, so I'll give someone else a chance, but if they don't volunteer and say so before you close this present article I'll do it again.
Good to know. Thank you.
My apologies; I must shut this down early. Hopefully, I will reconnect before Christmas day, but, if not, I wish every one the best.
