I was so poor and my car looked so old that many people on the road flagged me down to ask a ride, for a donation. Gypsy taxi it is called and unstoppable by the law. Why we are so together I know not, but my old dog now comes along and that keeps me from picking up people, I thought! But then one day these three young girls came along, and two shared the back seat with Mr. Dog-face happily and giggling a lot. Threee young girls means party, fun, feast, good news, pleasanteries. We talked about the dog. He has several names, Stitch, was given by his former owner, Sugar-snout, when the girls entered the car and when he gets in the vicinity of American tourist dog lovers because he is black except for his white snout. As if he put his snout in the sugar pot. Or Toothless, when people ask if he bites, because he left all his front teeth in the Doberman from next door. True to his name I stitched him up twice myself. The first time the veterinary hospital Cay Hill presented a bill more expensive than what Emergency would have charged me for stitching my belly up. That dog was a guard dog of the highest class. Guarding me wasis his calling and that's what he does for a living. We swim often from Pedro's parking to the first float at Orient nude Beach. There I meet the water and the air from over the Atlantic. The cleanest air and sea one can dream of. On the swim back I meet people, some with hat and shades, drink in hand, up to their neck in the water. They came from far away to enjoy this. They love the dog swimming around and bringing anything I pick up from the bottom to the beach. He is a sea rescue dog I tell the people, a genuine coconut retriever. Talking about clean air. The ash cloud has stopped the emission of tons of CO2 because the airplane engines are not made to inhale volcanic dust. Is what they said, because now they want to fly through it to see what damage that does. The money they lose by not flying is maybe worse than scrapping an engine after a dozen or so times through the cloud. Mother Earth is shaking and spitting fire. Quakes and flooding, forest fires and oil burning, is it really so dumb to think we do the right thing? Is it possible that Mother Earth is upset over mankind's behavior? Nature and all it has to offer must be more respected by the American Government. What I find in my yard is enough to wonder. All that I see be arranged into a harmonious concept. For this I go Zen. We are so hooked on the cell phone that the danger of it is neglected. Only a lady from Curacao I heard had a small metallic plastic shield attached between her and her phone so the waves can not reach her. The public must be made aware that shields for cell phones are now available at several internet stores. Ask the phone shops... Then, what exactly is the Control Unit?
