Judy Evans @JudyEv (382107) • Rockingham, Australia 10 Jun

Hitting the news last night was a story of a squatter who remained hidden in the roof-space of an Adelaide grandmother. The pensioner had been hearing noises for some months but thought she had possums in the ceiling. However,...

The Indian Giant Squirrel

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (80) • United States 10 Jun

No, not Native American as in USA, but from India. This giant squirrel is beautifully colored almost as if somebody painted him multi-colors. This squirrel can grow up to 3 ft long, hence "giant" and lives in the forests of...

Xavier Bage We see squirrels plenty around our house but they are of smaller in size and not so colorful. They have black stripes on their back. I have never seen this kind.

Xavier Bage I guess I am of Vince's age if not older. My better half keeps on advising me I must dye my hair. She has brought quite many pouches of hair dye powder from her sisters. I have tried it and it seems to give satisfactory results.

…That’s Why We’re Celebrating Paul!

Four Walls @FourWalls (86703) • United States 31 May

On June 18, Sir James Paul McCartney, CH, MBE, will turn 84. That’s not as monumental an accomplishment as another Companion of Honour, Sir David Attenborough, who just turned 100. However, to be fair, I don’t think many of us...

Did You Read That the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Has Been Officially Renamed the Tidy Bowl Reflecting Pool?

The Horse @TheHorse (238306) • Walnut Creek, California 21 May

I don't agree with Donald Trump about much, but I agree with his decision to rename the reflecting pool. I think the thing was originally built in the 1920s, and that it has had some leaks and other structural issues...

Between white beaches and yellow beaches I love white beaches

Dr Souvik Chatterji @sathviksouvik (23241) 19 May

When I went to Maldives I realized that the beaches are all white. One of the reasons are the dead corals decay and create a white coating. In India almost all beaches are yellow beaches excepting the ones in Andaman and Nicobar...
