I had a neighbor who trapped snapping turtles when I was growing up. I learned about the difference between boys and girls, and that the heart still beats after being taken out of the body.

Its actually a documented fact that the IDF has uprooted thousands of olive trees (some are hundreds of years old)from the West Bank and Gaza to either make way for new illegal settlements, or to ‘prevent attacks’

… go figure!

Mac,
It happens, happened to a friend of mine, a Zionist Jewish friend. Next season maybe you should help out your fellow humans in the modern version of the Warsaw ghetto.

And not a word about Palestinians threatening Israeli settlers during the harvest season. Uh huh.

Also, “scope rifles”? Suuure. I live here and at worst the only damage is vandalism and NOT life threatening.

Hi Christa!

As a Portuguese I always feel kind of proud to see my country associated to cool and quirky things rather than the normal “bottom of the european union in anything relevant”. And today I saw it twice in your blog, (the Pena Palace in Miss Celania’s “9 castles to visit”). Yay!

“Percebes” are a popular all year round appetizer in Portugal, and not just a christmas thing. In fact it’s in summer that you bet the “percebes” are great. Eaten through the afternoon, by the beach, whith Sangria and good friends. Not much is that good. (if you think of trying it for real send me an email.)

but what I wanted to say is, and forgive me if you already mentioned them, aren’t you forgeting those Special Crabs that cost at least a fisherman per boat every time they go out to get them? they have a show about them on tv.
