The Gweedore Whale ``Sightseers flock to the sandy grave of 40-ton beached whale SIGHTSEERS yesterday flocked to a remote Co Donegal beach to see the resting place of one of the largest whales ever seen in Ireland. The 40-ton beached whale died on Saturday morning, and was buried in a 20-foot sandy grave. Although the grave wasn't marked, that didn't stop dozens of people gawping at what they believed to be the burial spot. A JCB and two diggers were called up to move the 45ft mammal across Magheraroarty Beach in Gweedore. As the JCB pushed at the nose, the diggers attempted to pull with chains attached to the tail-fin. There was such a struggle to move the whale that eventually a third digger had to be called in to drag the whale more than 150 yards to its grave. Donegal County Council vet Frank McRory who is trained in treating beached whales and dolphins and who supervised the operation had attempted unsuccessfully on Friday evening to put the 45-foot whale down by humane i

I went to the Dentist on Friday. I had a check up last thursday. Friday was when I went to get the work done. My teeth, have been blasted clean. The gunk, of what must have been nearly a years Smoking, has been sanded and scraped off. So I am admiring myself in the mirror, whenever I get the chance. I have always been ashamed of my teeth, there too big, mishapen, and they seem to stain. So I don't smile. Its not something I do. Perhaps, I will start now. I am writing about a TV program. I have never seen. Its a show called Dexter. On paper it sounds great. Sans one little thing. I'll tell you whats to recommend. First it looks like a great cast, Michael C Hall, as the lead. I was a huge fan, of Six feet under. Michael C Hall did sterling work in that series. Who could forget the abuduction episode. Julie Benz, as the love interest. Now thats just great. Julie Benz, is a former Olympic gymnast. Can any man, say that without smiling and smiling inside. She was Darla, on Buffy a

Irish Stoats

Irish stoats have an older Lineage Dr Robbie McDonald, Manager of Quercus at Queen’s, “These tenacious carnivores probably survived the extreme cold at the peak of the last Ice Age by living under the snow and eating lemmings, just as they do in Greenland today. “Irish stoats are a diverse and ancient lineage, this study provides the first compelling evidence that a species of mammal found in Ireland today actually survived throughout the worst of the Ice Age weather. “The Irish fauna is a very unusual mix of native and introduced species, but we tend to overlook the unique nature of the Irish gene pool of many species, such as stoats and hares. This work helps identify which species should be a priority for conserving the Irish natural heritage.” Genetic research has found that the Irish lineage of stoats is about 23,500 years old, compared to the British lineage, which is about 12,000 years old. ____________________________________________   I have always been fascinated by th

Virginia Tech murders

April 16th 2007 33 people were murdered today. in Virgina Tech, Faculty, and students. Men and Women I went to UNC, Virgina Tech, was one of the schools, they used to play sports against. I may have driven past the grounds of the University. Faces I may have seen on Myspace. Or I shared an elevator with an airport. Rest in peace.

Bones

I am watching Bones . Brief thoughts. David Borenaz is playing Angel, the same character he played in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Angel. Without the strong supporting cast. Charisma Carpenter, James Marsters etc.  Borenaz is looking for redemption. After having been a Marine sniper v being the vampire with a soul   The Lab, uses a holographic display unit, that simply doesn't exist.   Bones, Brennan is called in to identify, skeletal remains.  Why can't they take DNA? Bones, is solving the case, instead, of just identifying the corpse. (The Cracker problem. It's not the job of the forensic archaeologist or the psychiatrist to solve the crime) Oh and Bones is rebuilding the bomb too... Its strangely compelling.. ____________________________________  I had a small win on the horses. Slim Pickings, took the Silver medal, in the UK Grand national. I have been enjoying the sunshine.

Drinking Scotch in Valhalla, Life on Mars, Rides into the Sunset

Drinking Scotch in Valhalla  (Spoilers)  There are spoilers here BEWARE SPOILERS FOR Life on Mars   The last episode of Life on Mars, has just been transmitted. The questions have been answered.  Why was Sam tyler in 1973?  What is the mysterious Hyde?  In the previous episode. Gene Hunt, (Sam's boss, in 1973.) Is accused of and arrested for murder. Hence the introduction of DCI Morgan. Morgan a quieter, milder officer then Hunt.  Morgan shares Sam's progressive policing policies. (Say that three times quickly)  The new DCI also promises to help Sam, come home. Gene Hunt plays quite a small, part in this episode. Top and tailing, the episode. Most of the action in the episode centers around Sam and DCI Morgan  Subverting the usual narrative of the episode, which is normally based on the relationship between Sam, and Hunt. Today we see Sam and Cartwright. There was a nod to Robocop- Sam, recites Robocop's standing orders.`` Uphold the Law, Protect the Innocent.'&
Lollygaging, I cannot seem to get focused. I could be the warm weather. Which has left me listless. On Friday, I would have preferred it to be darker, and colder. I wanted to spend the day chatting online, with a friend. I did. But the warm weather, makes me feel I should be doing something else. I went out, and went shopping today, groceries and cleaning products. I planned, to clean up, wash my clothes, sort through my things. I didn't. I read my books, I played sonic the hedgehog. I chatted online. Its back to Hades tomorrow
