MACRO MONDAY
This beauty was near the loading dock [the walkway plank] to 'board' the Seafood Restaurant at the Marina...Landry's Seafood House. The photo was taken a couple of weeks ago, and I'm sure it didn't survive the harsh winter weather from last week. What a shame. But, as an added note, I always stop and have to get a close up look of pansies and linger by them...they were my father's favorite spring-time blossom. He was an avid gardener...I think it rubbed off a little on me.

MONDAY MORSELS
I ask with a bit of dismay: "How is trademarking the name S@r@h P@lin feasible; what is her purpose in this whole idea?!!!" This past week, there has been light given to us readers about the attempt for our Queen Political Spe@ker and EX v!ce-pres!dent!al c@ndidate of the Republ!c@n party regarding that she and her daughter have applied for registering their names. For the fact that in just a short couple days since the article, the two were denied the trademark. Well now...that brought a burning question to me. Why the two are trying to 'protect' their names and giving them a realm of opportunities to sue those who speak their opinions against them [as she has many times in the past of others: i.e. "0b@m@ palling around with Terrorists"] ---or another incident that I recall was SNL and T!n@ F@y....well, it's totally absurd an action if you ask me, and I sure hope my assumption of any hidden meaning to this action on her part...is incorrect. Sure, I can probably understand the fact that issue of 'trademarking' your name, for protection, such as some celebrities do because of those cashing in on the name when it's not their name, or using it for fraudulent actions, but is this action for the true meaning of protection or is it just a ploy to have the opportunities, if they arise, for slander law suits in the future? I can't help thinking this; with her past actions. It seems that she can dish it out, but if anyone were to slander her or her registered daughter's name...whoa. America, look out!! And Tina Fay? I'd be hitting the high road outta here!! Then, on the other hand, it made me wonder just how many S@r@h P@l!ns there are in the world? I ventured further into the name....trust me, there are tons----IGI [International Genealogy Index]. Hmmmmmm. The woman from Al@sk@ is getting on my nerves more so each day.
And on another note, this all brings to mind the way of life these days, with everything being online through the internet. Are copyrights really 'safe'? Ohhhhhhhhhhh, that also reminds me. Have you ever heard the term: copyleft? Well, in today's times of the internet, there IS such a term and it's being used these days. Yep, copyleft. And the symbol is like any other. Yes, it's a reversed © symbol...
