The sun has set in the deep desert and lone figure sits quietly meditating next to a small camp fire. While sitting there, he simply cannot believe how ridiculous some requests for help can be.As you come nearer to the figure you can hear the words of his mantra, "Must stay in the desert, Must stay in the desert"...

I always thought the mantra was "never get out of the boat, never get out of the boat..."

Ahhh!!!! Damn it! Twice this year!Flat broken into again last night. Among other things, took the zune that I bought to replace the ipod that they stole last bloody time.
As for where I live, crime bloody capital of the world it seems.
That seriously stinks. I'm so sorry.

Sorry to comment 4 pages later (I'm just getting up - you folks are fast!). What's with all the "dear" and "brother" and "dear brother". Kind of creeps me out. :crazy: And then posting the same reply two or three times? Is that in hopes of a quicker response? Annoying......Ok, I'm better now.

Well, since we are showing about where we all live, here is where I live.
I'm here (most of the time).

Sorry to hear that. I know how upsetting it is. (House I grew up in was burglarized at least once a year, sometimes two or three times.)

I live about 1/2 mile from here.
Thanks Grant. 🙂
The advantage is that only 10 minutes walk and I am in woodland with open views of the countryside. So quiet you can hear the animals in the undergrowth. :satisfied:

Couldn't help but notice the two football pitches near by!
Used to watch my son play when he was at school.
They are still used today 😀

Pretty much like where I live, but my walk is about 2 minutes. I own 15 acres but it's connected to a few hundred acres of land-locked and protected woods which run into a state forest.
