In a few more hours I will be done with the hospital and can eat again! Yea! I just hope I will want to. I have been thinking of what I want, but they may change after they are through with me.
The Lorelei live in the pools of Ashville, NC and here is the Native America legend regarding their existence! They are said to live in pools of rapidly flowing water.
The Lorelei are sirens that appear to travelers that stop for a drink in the heat of the day. They appear to be beautiful women. It is said that soft music can be heard blending in with the sounds of the water. Travelers see a beautiful woman beckoning to them. When the traveler reaches out their hand to touch the lovely image, they are drawn into the water by cold slimy hands. A skull appears, a loud laugh, and then silence.
As I have said before, I think my husband is very good-looking. He was when we were young and he still is now. He doesn’t share that opinion and is always making jokes about his appearance.
The latest one is that the mirrors have 911 on speed dial and they hit it whenever he looks at his reflection. The cops are really getting tired of answering all the calls.

For among the finches of Daphne Major, natural selection is neither rare nor slow: it is taking place by the hour, and we can watch. In this dramatic story of groundbreaking scientific research, Jonathan Weiner follows these scientists as they watch Darwin’s finches and come up with a new understanding of life itself. The Beak of the Finch is an elegantly written and compelling masterpiece of theory and explication in the tradition of Stephen Jay Gould.
