Wave Dragon and Rose Geranium?

I don't know if y'all have ever watched a program on Nat'l Geographic [I believe] on how the Red Sea could have possibly, truthfully, parted in Biblical times. From wind and water and wave actions...all to actually separate from the surface and expose the sea's land mass below? Well a Wave Dragon is built quite a bit on this whole scientific principle [not exact, but close]...But wait, this isn't about science or the capability of what a turbo charged wave dragon can accomplish. It's about glass...a glass dolphin to be exact...and the macro of the blown glass 'wave'.




At closer inspection of the image I took for today's post, I can see a keen resemblance of a dragon's face...in the wave. Hence, Wave Dragon!! [call me crazy weird, go ahead...I know I am]:

ANNI: "Bud? Come here a minute!"
Bud walks in behind my chair...
ANNI: "Do you see a dragon in this section of glass wave?"
He comes in close, closer; eying the picture...
BUD: "Not really." As he points along the surface of the monitor, he says:
BUD: "Actually, I see an ogre."
ANNI: "An ogre?"
BUD: "Ya...see?" He drags his finger around the image.
BUD: "This is his nose, that's his eye, and there is the cheekbone and lips."
I don't see it...I see the darned dragon. So, I get busy with my paintshop and trace around the DRAGON!!! I even, for his consideration and interest in Sci-Fi... I thought of adding fire!!
ANNI: "Come here now...do you see the dragon?"
BUD: "I guess". And as he leaves, he's scratchin' his butt...
I KNEW there was a dragon in there. [no, not his butt...well, on 2nd thought, there IS a lot of hot air sometimes!]
As he walks through the door threshold, I yell out to him...
ANNI: "Told'ya so!!"









And in case you want to see the entire glass dolphin...
This is it.

MONDAY MORSELS


I'm posting this on Sunday afternoon since Bud and I will be leaving early Monday morning.

To go out on a tangent here, I ask you if you've ever really wanted a product from long ago and wish you could convince a company to either duplicate the product or prompt and try to persuade them to make something similar...but it would have to be nearly a perfect match to the original? Well, I have. I've emailed the 'model' company...AVON...and suggested that they consider returning an item that they had in the 1970s. Only, to get a response that they'll 'take it to the board' on their next meeting. Ya, right. Nothing came of it. The only thing close to what I would like is found in 'essential oils'. Well, I really don't want an oil. What I would like is hand and body lotion!! Or even a body wash, body spray. And essential oils, the fragrance I want, can't be found in the stores here. I'd have to order online. Which I know I'd have to pay shipping and handling charges ----in turn, making it expensive stuff!! A lot more expensive than what it's worth in my estimation. I've searched for this on e-bay even. The product from Avon that is. I found it long ago, but never even bid on it, because the item was not listed as 'new or unopened'. That in itself was a trip!!! Ummmmm, bidding on a product that was at "one time opened but never used"? I don't think so. I have sanitary issues. And I don't need it THAT badly. Then, just recently it popped up again on e-bay. But I was too late, the item was listed as NEW --but the bidding had ended already. I was bummed. LOL I just wish some other company would think about bringing it to the public once again. Thinking of lotions and body washes, I thought "Anni, try contacting Body and Bath corporate office and try to 'sell the idea' that it would be a nice new and refreshing fragrance." If they would market this right, and have in mind any mention that it's soothing and calming [which would work wonders for the conscientious consumers, who would buy anything that is 'natural and healing'...right?]. Anyway, I did go out to the corporate home page and contacted the consumer alert section with an email...begging suggesting a new fragrance with a Victorian flair. Doesn't hurt to try. I may have to resort to the oil...if ever I find it without having to pay for the shipping and handling ---I would much prefer buying locally and doling out sales tax to keep the companies we HAVE in town...it only makes economic sense to me. Keeping local stores in business instead of always shopping online. Then, again, if they don't carry it...I think it's THEIR loss.


PS...Most of Sunday afternoon, late afternoon, I've had a heckuva time getting in to visit any blogsters that left me comments on my shadow shot!! I kept getting a "503" error message on my browser - "Service Unavailable". Hope it straightens out soon.
