Seasonal rock top


Much of the year this rock top is covered with sand, and gradually becomes exposed during seasonal weather changes.
A cemetery located here in Stuart, FL, features lawn crypts made from similar rock which are also embedded in sand most of the time -- only the tops of the monuments are visible.

some possible origins




This piece of oyster-shell resembles a small mortar bowl (or vice versa). A univalve seashell might serve as a pestle.

plant comparisons




Green 'beach pods' hanging from leafy vines resemble giant pea-pods and grow very close to the shoreline where rocks are a prominent feature.
Small packet-type plant leafs are found in sandy soil and adhere to clothes when walking through such an area -- these resemble flattened supermarket peas and also resemble an advanced form of bathroom mold found on moist tiles. The mold is extremely difficult to remove unless dried from room non-use, and then can be easily peeled off tile.
[The images appear muddy but can be clear.]

looky here (or, "looky, looky, arithmetic booky")




The sheaf bugs aren't a look-and-leave bunch -- they haul their grass-tip sheafs into specific positions and affix themselves while the small caterpillars dwelling inside metamorphisize into small butterflies. Only a ladder used outside the building will give a sufficient grip to remove the sheaf shown on a screen in the image.
An orange container bearing a visually-suggestive 'baby-over-a-bucket' line-drawing has been set on the far west bank of the St. Lucie River, viewable from the Evan Crary Sr. Bridge as shown in the image. The original idea to mass-produce such containers can be categorized as 'fiction made real', and casual re-use of the containers can be linked with some actual drowning deaths among small children in specific regions using mass-media reports.

Archaeologists just "warm bodies" to MBAs? - Topix

Archaeologists just "warm bodies" to MBAs? - Topix

Product-development schemes which might send dividend payments and new gadgets their way appear to the primary focus of schooled Master's of Business Administration degree awardees. Such an orientation also appears to be fostered as influence-network actions only recently addressed with state of PA 'lobby law' legislation.

qui se passe

The weekly edition of the Stuart News usually includes several newsprint sheets of ad/coupon offers, and few concern themselves about whether the print-ups are voluntary or not from companies -- except those who in some fashion feel free to affect our consciousness with demands to include then to retract such paperwork offers published in magazines and newspapers.

One such ad/coupon-offer issued in past months features 'Neosporin', an ointment once available only through a doctor or nurse and found in factories where physical injury was a daily workplace possibility. The ad reads as follows: "Today's Assignment: CHECK THE DATE! [photo of Neosporin tube] Use as directed. Get Ready for Back to School and Replace Your Expired NEOSPORIN tube. EVERY CUT, EVERY TIME, EVERYWHERE." The coupon is a 'Save 50 cents' type [but the 'cents' symbol is no longer available on many keyboards].

The ad sends a clear message that in today's school systems, students and possibly parents are going to be hurt -- especially where the number of desks relative to classroom size is not regulated with rule or law to prevent such overcrowding injuries.

Well, maybe

o Topix.net, Buffalo, NY, forum has a June 2008 discussion entry titled, "Do you have a gripe about New York State?"

o Wesb.com dated 10/27/2009 gives us, 'NY State's population continues to leave', "A report by the Empire Center for New York State Policy...NY...the largest loss of residents to other states from 2000 to 2008. Moved to other states...30% of them moved to FL and another 33% moved to neighboring PA, NJ and CT."

o Aol.com gives us two entries from TCPalm.com dated 10/25/2009: 'Two fugitives being sought by crimestoppers', one facing various "aggravated" charges "with a firearm" and the other "violation of probation of burglary of an occupied dwelling". The same Internet storyline sidebar also presents, 'Two men died after being struck by vehicle', "Two pedestrians...of Fort Myers... allegedly fighting in the middle of Okeechobee Road in Fort Pierce...died after being hit by a vehicle, according to FL Highway Patrol report. ...were in the inside lane when the front of a westbound vehicle struck them..[one] thrown into the inside lane and ...[one] thrown into the grass median. They were taken to Lawnwood Regional Medical Center with fatal injuries...the driver...failed to see them in time. ..." Each set of circumstances named different men.

Numerous pedestrian fatalities are perhaps testament to some kind of unusual mentality become prevalent here in South FL, where mute fear in the face of FL wildlife is demonstrated with a high volume of firearm sales and incessant uses of automotive vehicles characteristic of states which mass-produce manufactured vehicles.
