Today's Saying
I think that people who can't believe in fairies aren't worth knowing. ~Tori Amos

Today's Picture
Our Tulips as good as they got.

The world we live in has for the most part lost touch with the world of fairies, elves, goblins, gnomes , and other little people. People just don’t believe in them anymore. We no longer hear them singing in the meadow or see them dancing in the moon light. This is so sad and we have lost so much.
The good news is there still is a country that believes. A country where the government and the elected officials make laws to protect them.
Does that surprise you ?
It surprised Alcoa Inc. when they prepared to build an aluminum smelting plant in that country. It was forced to hire an expert to examine the area where it wanted to build. This caused a six month delay in the construction and the loss of hundreds of dollars.
The task of the expert was not to assure the plant wouldn’t be ecologically harmful. That Alco could understand.
No! The task of the expert was to assure the government and the company that none of the little people lived under or on the land.
“Little people” , not endangered tree frogs or rare white field mice. No the government had laws protecting the habitat of the little people.
Believe me to Alco this was no laughing matter.
Eventually the expert certified the land free of little people. Thus it was okay to build there.
What wonderful country is this that still believes ?
Well it’s not far from the US.
It is Iceland home of elf-like goblins. You do not want to tick them off.
One has to wonder if there is a goblin party. The GIA ( Goblins in Iceland ) party. There slogan could be “ We protect our Goblins”. In Iceland that should get you elected. After all the goblins will be working for you and strange things will happen to your opponents.
We have conservatives and liberals and thought that was bad enough but a goblin party.
It is good to know that we live in a wonderful world and the little people are still part of it.
Just think of all the wonderful stories and poems that now take on new meaning.
Iceland we just love you.

News from Pigeon Falls

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal
With the startling appearance of Oops the fighting stopped.
The demon began to laugh. “ What took you so long?” He said. “ I knew you would come. Now my revenge will be complete. I will destroy you and these two miserable humans .”
“ You are in violation of inter –dimensional law” she said.” You are forbidden to use life forms from another dimension to provide you with power”.
“ So arrest me “ he said sarcastically , “ Where are the Enforcers?”
“They have been summoned and will arrive soon. Unless you cease you will get the maximum penalty.” she said.
“ By the time they get here you and your friends will have been destroyed. I will have taken all the life force from all the animals and I will be so powerful not an Enforcer in the universe can touch me.” He said.
Then he waved his hand and the battle started again.
In that short time he had increased dramatically in power and the three of them were having a hard time defending themselves let alone attacking the demon.
Oops sent a mental message to Tommy and Herman telling them that their only hope was to hang on until the Enforcers came.
Tommy knew how to cut off the power sources but he needed all of his power just to survive and thus was unable to trace anymore of the vines or pipes or whatever they were.
It really looked hopeless.
Will the enforcers get there on time? Can Pigeon Falls Survive?

Wrap UP

For those of you who wondered which of yesterday's answers was wrong. The answer was supposed to be the last one. Since it stated that one of the answer's was false. All the answers before it were true so it has to be the false one. But if all the other answers are true then it is false and if it is false it is true that one of the answers is false so it is true. But if it's true then none of the answers are false and it is false and we go round again. I have created an accidental enigma or conundrum.
I can't believe I wrote that this morning. I'm not even sure what it means. I have had a good day even though the planet Mercury is doing something or another. We finished the plant stand. It is now in place. Life is good. I visited all the blogs that left comments yesterday and a few others. Now I need a breathing treatment.
