RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (89772) • Daytona Beach, Florida 12 Oct

Go and have a beer, and you might never go back home again. A mass shooting at a crowded bar on an idyllic South Carolina island left at least 4 people dead and another 20 injured, officials said. The shooting happened early...

Looking Into the Eyes of a Tarsier

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (89772) • Daytona Beach, Florida 11 Oct

Taking a look at this, you probably have two questions. One is what is a tarsier, and the other is, why would you want to look into its eyes? Well, first of all, a tarsier is a small nocturnal primate that is about the size of a...

Helping Pangolins

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (89772) • Daytona Beach, Florida 11 Oct

A pangolin has hard, armor-like scales all over its body and tail; five-toed, sharply clawed feet; and a worm-like tongue that can extend up to 25 cm (10 inches). The pangolin looks more like a dinosaur than a mammal. Found...

Pig Nosed Rat with Vampire Teeth

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (89772) • Daytona Beach, Florida 10 Oct

When species like this get discovered, I always wonder why Hollywood doesn’t pick up on it and create another classic movie like in the old days, say, “The Creature From the Black Lagoon.” This odd rodent comes from Indonesia,...

For the Love of Pumba

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (89772) • Daytona Beach, Florida 7 Oct

Another rather ugly animal is known as the warthog. These are pigs with large, flat heads and toughened snouts. They seem to be covered all over with warts, but instead these are fleshy pads to protect the pig if in combat. The...

Yesterme Yesteryou Yesterday

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (89772) • Daytona Beach, Florida 6 Oct

In 1969 and it was sad to see the 1960s going away. It was an anxious time for my mom because since we had lost my dad she was not looking forward to me becoming a teenager. In 1969 I was 12 and the 1970s would start my teen years...

You’re the Nearest Thing to Heaven

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (89772) • Daytona Beach, Florida 5 Oct

“You’re the Nearest Thing to Heaven” is a wonderful and sweet love song. It was co-written by Johnny Cash and released as a single in August 1958. The other two song authors, I think some might recognize by name; they were Hoyt...

The Cake Melted in the Rain

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (89772) • Daytona Beach, Florida 2 Oct

I will probably never know why I love this song so much. It caught my ear when it was originally sung by Richard Harris, but then Donna Summer came out with her version during the disco era, and I was really hooked. Something...

You Spin Me Round

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (89772) • Daytona Beach, Florida 1 Oct

The only music selection that is appropriate for my befuddled brain is “You Spin Me Around” by Dead or Alive. Between my blogging, my writing, and keeping up with sites the Internet is the one that spins me 360 degrees around, and...

Rambling Rose

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (89772) • Daytona Beach, Florida 28 Sep

I don’t know what it is and I have no idea why but today for some reason the song “Rambling Rose” by Nat King Cole came to mind. It all began oddly by the thought of roses in my head. I thought, what roses? In Latvia I had roses...

On the Sea Of Heartbreak

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (89772) • Daytona Beach, Florida 26 Sep

No matter what genre of music someone plays and sings, what is important is that the lyrics make it worth listening to. Johnny Cash was one such singer that could write you a story you could listen to and then set it to music, and...

La Bamba

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (89772) • Daytona Beach, Florida 25 Sep

If there was one song that got my attention right away it was “La Bamba”. The bad part was that it’s so catchy and has a fantastic beat that once I heard it, it just kept playing right on in my mind. I’m so glad that this song is...
