Great tip Bobbie, if I ever get another wart I'll give it a go! I had 26 of the buggers when I was 8 yrs. old on my hands,feet and a couple under my bottom lip. My dad took me to this old doctor on East Ave. every Saturday morning to have acid put on them. His hands shook and I have scars from it! Gives me the creeps just thinking about it! Sorry Carol, kinda got off track on you, tho' I like your thought!

Thought for Today - This one is for my friend K who I have not heard from in a very long time.
"Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the world together."
Just like common sense!

I think K crossed over to the Duck side.

Thought for Today
"The Peregrine is definitely a celestial bird. The Egyptian sun god Horus, whose name means the distant one', had the head of a falcon, possibly a Peregrine, and the Eye of Horus was considered a symbol of great power. He united the upper and lower kingdoms and gave divinity to the pharaohs, who were thought to be his representatives on earth. As well as Horus, the falcon could be associated with Menthu, a god of war, and with Ra, go sod the sun. In Norse mythology, the chief god Odin often took the form of a Peregrine when he visited earth, and in China it was a symbol of war, and so was ambivalent. The Japanese Ainu thought that it was a helper of humanity, and in Native American culture, it was heralded as a symbol of war and was the younger brother of the eagle."

"and in Native American culture, it was heralded as a symbol of war and was the younger brother of the eagle."
After seeing Kaver flying higher and faster and kakking his displeasure to all that would listen, then seeing why he was so angry. An Eagle flying through his territory. A massive bird compared to the brave, little Tiercel. Size did not matter in this case. The Eagle could not escape quickly enough. Seems younger brother was not pleased to see his older, bigger brother!
