If you're happy and you know it scream out loud! AEEEEIIIGGGH!
Slightly old news.
The Scream (fantastic painting for all who surprisingly don't know of it) was recovered a few days ago since it's kidnapping along with Madonna (also by Munch) in 2004.
The recovery took exactly 2 years and nine days.
Pretty good actually.
The damage was much less than originally thought, and all are sentenced pretty severely.
In newer news and much sadder, Steve Irwin died today. The animal lover was killed instantly by a stingray attack. Many are shocked by what would appear to be such a freak incident considering his work with much larger and dangerous animals.
It was an incredibly dangerous hobby. I think that if you're doing something like that, you know that at some point you may die. It's a risk you have to be willing to take.
RIP Steve Irwin.
Happy Labor Day

I so wish this hadn't happened. He did so much to educate people about why wild lands and wild things should be important and protected. He showed us thier value to and in our world.
He was truly one of the good guys!
what pop said..yup one of the good guys...he believed in what he was doing...and he believed in teaching everyone about animals and habitats....he had a worldwide impact...I have a tribute posted over at Watergatesummer- but I found a link to his Wildlife Warriors- I think it is amazing that he recognized that sometimes you do have to fight for other beings- too bad our leaders don't think like that- and appreciate Life and out impact on so many creatures....
geez- sorry- didn't mean to soapbox on you...namaste.
All I can think of is those lovely underwater filmings of divers taking hold of rays and going for a ride. These beautiful, docile graceful creatures that he must have loved who just happen to carry a fatal spur that hit in exactly the wrong place.
He was one of the truly beautiful people and deserves to be remembered for the way he lived, not the way he died.
Crawfordslist is down with a bad attack of Beta. You are all invited to hang out at My Place for the duration.
