Green Iguanas aren't indigenous to Florida. They were brought to Florida on ships from Central and South America that carried fruits. Often thought their presence was good, they soon found out the Iguanas became a nuisance. They cause damage to plants with flowers, foliage, or any kind of vegetables and they destroy them. Moreover, iguanas burrow deep holes in the soil that can damage the infrastructure of sea walls, sidewalks and drainage canals.

Florida Wildlife Commission (FWC) deems them an invasive species and are NOT protected. There are services available for Iguana removal and no license is required to kill them as long as it done in a swift humanely manner.

Often, they become road kill when they get in the way of oncoming vehicles. That was the case this morning when I was leaving a project in a community surrounded by dense foliage. When they are hanging in trees and moving about they appear to be really slow... however they are extremely quick to run and can disappear in a heartbeat when provoked.

This one committed suicide and there was no way I could have avoided hitting him. It felt like I struck a 4 inch thick tree branch. The cars behind me had to steer around to miss him.

NOTE: The photo below is for visual reference to the variety that inhabit South Florida.
IT'S NOT A PHOTO OF THE ACTUAL IGUANA IN MY BLOG.

Time travel has always been an interest of mine. The 1960 movie The Time Machine being a favorite, except H.G. Wells went forward so nothing in the present was affected.

The 1985 movie Back to the Future always had the element of 'fixing things' that were disturbed from their time travel visits.

Yesterday while returning home I was doing the speed limit and went through an intersection under a yellow light. Could I have stopped? Probably, but I had model helicopters and gear in the back, so I carried on. Cross traffic still had a red light. However, a car leaving a gated community was charging the intersection ignoring the 'right turn on red law' that states AFTER a full stop. Realizing if he didn't brake, my car would be struck on the right side, I leaned on my horn and pressed the accelerator hoping to clear the intersection a second sooner.
It worked, Obviously, the driver wasn't paying attention, but I got him to brake and actually turn away from my path. Good thing or he would have struck my car directly and I would have spent the afternoon in the hospital, go through months of physical therapy and weeks of car repairs.

I was watching some LED ZEPPELIN videos and as many remember, when John Bonham died in 1980, so did Zeppelin. Sure, each of them continued musically, but their collective careers stopped.
What if I could change history... What if I was there and hired a body guard to follow John's every move and keep him from drinking excessively... the reason for his death.
John would have survived, history would have changed, Zeppelin would have released 6 more albums, etc, etc, etc... the repercussions would be immense.

On a smaller scale, 20 years ago, while driving to work one morning where highway traffic slowed, if I would have been in a different lane, I would have missed the woman on her cellphone that caused a 4 car pileup sending me to the hospital causing years of back pain.

That's a good start. I could think of other personal events I would like to have changed along the way!

Has anybody ever encountered famous People in their lifetime? I have met personally around 7 Famous people in my lifetime and i unknowingly until years later went to school in 7th and 8th with one of them.
Has anybody out there encountered any famous people?

Of course it was rigged. No news at 11.
Oh wait, I just read the news at 11.

This blog is for people who show intelligent thinking and ask questions to challenge religious leaders and the mainstream scientists views on the origin of life on this planet. Also the existence of extra terrestrial beings and their possible involvement with inhabitants of this planet.
This is not suitable for Men in Black. Or,
People with negative waves.

Who'd have thought that something you'd experienced at least 4 times in the past (and had minimal stress with), would come at you again with such intensity, pain and discomfort, that it made you consider SURGERY as a 'fix', seriously!

TONSILITIS!!! Yep.
It was as though I was in a time warp of pain, sweats, inability to swallow, loss of taste and interest in food, sipping mostly on Gatorade and water, tossing to and fro as I tried to get some sleep each day, not even knowing what time of the day or even what the day was. No, not even what day it was. My sister (thank God for her), had a laugh at me when I asked her (on Saturday) to go into the bank for me to conduct some business on our behalf. I thought that it was Friday.
Now, whilst that ordeal was certainly bad enough, add to it a case of DIARRHEA!!! Yep.
Apparently, too much Gatorade and water, but not enough of anything else (solid) made my body engage in repeated 'elimination' for about 2 days straight, and I can honestly say (after what I saw, and...), "better out than in".

I'm not fully recovered yet (but thank God for the painkillers, antibiotics and solid food), as I haven't regained my senses of smell and taste (crucial for savouring), have a serious phlegmy after-cough, back pain, weakness, and occasional sweats. I've made an appointment for a specialist 'check-up', as I feel sure that my "inherited medical condition" has been greatly impacted by this last bout of distress, and have returned to using some natural treatments to help my body's restoration. Time will tell how soon I'll repair.

Maybe I should have taken out the da*n tonsils from the very first instance they gave me problems! Who's to say that the next time won't be deadly?

During the short period of time that I have been a member of cs, the blogs have never been at such a low point.
Mainly faceless wankers blurting out all sorts of insanities and the worst part is that it's one or two that have many different profiles that are giving this site a bad name.
I have always promoted CS and my reward was meeting a number of excellent well mannered ladies and gents. What is the goal of these wankers I ask myself cos making friends isn't one of them.
If you don't like what you read here by all means keep going.
Have a great weekend.

There are people who masquerade as healers and profess to have the ability to change a person's life for the better, as long as they follow their instructions. This is just another method of exerting control over vulnerable individuals, and establishing a regime of power to satisfy the purveyors need to dominate. These power seekers can be found acting independently or in religious cults. Don't be fooled by their willingness to help, or stories of successful outcomes. It is all a confidence trick. Your mind belongs to you. Don't let anyone try to interfere with it. Most problems can be solved by taking the time to reflect on issues and deciding the correct course of action. You will then have the satisfaction of resolving matters yourself.

I thought I'd take a break from political topics and post something I find hilariously funny. It isn't often someone who is so creative that despite being impeached twice, lost a reelection, takes top level classified documents home and ignores NARA's request to get them, now facing criminal charges for his actions, possibly being implicated as the instigator in the January 6th insurrection... comes up with a TOTALLY original plan:

In the news today, he's asking for a new election immediately or make him the rightful president now.

Since not much is going on in the world of politics this week other than the raid on Trump, Yes, RAID, I decided to ask some thoughts of the game show "Jeopardy" hosts. I know I know, a big YAWN to some of you, and yes, to a degree, it is, but still, it's been ongoing for a while now on you should be the only host.

In my opinion, I'm going for Mayim Bialik (Blossom). She's a much better fit for the show, not Ken Jennings. Jennings has no personality whatsoever.

Any thoughts?
