I was thinking about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novel "Lost Worlds," when I read about Chinese researchers finding a large "forest" within a massive sinkhole.  They say that there are insects, plants and other type creatures living there, untouched by the outside world.

Elaine is now hooked on a TV series that delves into a "lost" city in a deserted planet in another galaxy. (At least I think that is the story.)

In any event, it is an interesting Sci-Fi show with good acting by Sissy Spacek and J.K. Simmons.  The series is titled "Night Sky" and has 8 episodes do far.

Realtor Speak

If you are thinking about buying a home, you might want to check out some phrases that realtors like to use.

The New York Times listed 16 of them in their Sunday edition.  Here are 5 of them:

It's cozy = It's small and dark.

It has loads of original details = It's a wreck; get out your checkbook.

It's priced to sell =  Shouldn't all property be priced to sell?

It's close to transportation = Inquire further; It could overlook railroad tracks.

It's right on the water = It's in a flood zone.

Dead Eye Dick?

The good folks of Kingsland, Arkansas were so proud of their home-town hero, Johnny Cash, the famous singer that they had his portrait painted on the tallest edifice in town, the Water Tower.

Johnny was shown with his legs spread slightly, as he strummed his guitar.  This stance was so provocative that one of the town's marksmen couldn.t resist and shot a bullet right through Johnny's crotch and into the water tower, causing a leak of water that made it look as though Mr. Cash was peeing on his fans.

This reminded me of the famous Belgian Manneken Pis statue that people travel many miles to see.
