    Rana Oreboleira What’d she do with it?

    One time I had a sheep that ran away from home and returned 8 years later at 6 times her size.

    Take care and may God bless.

    Prickles couldn’t have gone that far as Tasmania is off the coast of mainland Australia and is only 26,410 square miles (68,401.59 square kilometers).

    Furniture, TV’s, etc…? With all those tourists, I doubt if that Selfie Hot ‘Pot’ is crystal clear anymore … more likely a ‘wee’ bit yellow and opaque.

    Actually, it was named as Trollgomyces Twitter. The one above is a typo.

    So how much does this town charge you for those selfies? (Of course they charge since many people will pay for anything!)

    Sounds like a good way to trash up your crystal clear pond.

    On this day in history on August 29th 2003 A terrorist bomb kills Ayatollah Sayed Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim, the Shia Muslim leader in Iraq, and nearly 100 worshipers as they leave a mosque in Najaf where the ayatollah had called for Iraqi unity.

    Furniture, TVs and vehicles in a “crystal clear” pond? Sounds like the locals use it as a dump. No way would I swim there!

    Now, seriously – how in the world do you discover a fungus while scrolling through Twitter?

    At least Tasmania is in a “Frost Belt” latitude range; also when Prickles’ coat of wool got big, it probably deterred would-be predators.

    Every year, they close off the locks on the Lachine Canal in Montreal, Canada, drain it and remove all of the T.V.s, furniture, vehicles, etc from that get thrown in during the rest of the year. Too bad they don’t allow swimming in the canal, or I could start a business and make a fortune! ☺

    There’s a parasitic fungus in the White House who twitters a lot. Is that the one she means?

    Give it time, that underwater selfie paradise will become a murky cesspool.

    That sheep would be convenient; you could just roll it to the shearing shed…
