RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

THIS N THAT

An emu is a large flightless bird of Australia.  I saw many in the zoo when I was there.  I recently learned that they produce dark green colored eggs.  Each egg has the equivalent volume of 10 to 12 chicken eggs.  What a deal this would be for Easter - less eggs required, easier to find and already colored.

Everyone wears jeans, these days - except me.  That strong yet soft material's name has a French origin.  There is a city in France called Nimes.  'De', in French, means 'from'.  That's right friends - that's where we got it - de Nimes or denim.

Favorite quote of the week:  "In the United States, we are free-range humans living on a tax farm"
Think about it.

Have you heard of a quokka?  They are like miniature kangaroos - a marsupial hopping on its back legs.  Big ones are about the size of a very small dog.  They can be found in Australia and small nearby islands.  Quokkas eat vegetation and snakes are their main predator.  So cute!
