Nailed it with ‘old fossil fools’!

How ‘forest bathing’ keeps lungs healthy Wooded environments release organic compounds that seem to improve respiratory health, but the magnitude and mechanism of the effect remains unclear.

“We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.”

Statue of Fu Hao, in traditional battle dress, holding a long-handled axe.

Fu Hao (1200 BC), was one of the wives of King Wu Ding of the Shang dynasty. She broke with tradition by serving both as a military general and a high priestess.

WAR CRIME BY THE US.

An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.

Now that’s an upside.

We used to have a neighbour in Nicholls Riv who gave all our boys a lovely home until their eventual ‘time’ for the pot came. Sorry the odds didn’t go your way.
