The Reddish Egret from Tigertail Beach Says: Happy Friday

Well infidels, another week has flown by. Perhaps the most significant things to have happened is that Tom & Jerry have been arrested for smoking in public and will be facing trial by the pleasure police in the UK. Bacardi is coming out with the original formula of Havana Club Rum which will be much better than the swill the French have been marketing with the assistance of the Fifo/Raul Regime. The loony toon Persian Ahmadinejad and his pal Hugo are out and about spewing vitriol and are in need of some restraint (and fish slapping) as once aptly put by Mick:

Just as every cop is a criminal

And all the sinners saints

As heads is tails

Just call me lucifer

cause Im in need of some restraint

Fifo is not quite dead yet, just sleeping or perhaps they've nailed him to his perch? Pluto is no longer a planet which I'm sure has Clyde Tombaugh quite cross. Some crazy Indian has finally decided to change the name of his restaurant from "Hitler's Cross" to "Hilter's Floss". And finally, there is a tropical system brewing in the tropics named Ernesto. Frankly, they should name storms after tyrants since they both kill people and take away your property. I would love to see the next storm named after Fifo.

Apart from that, I leave you with a photo of a reddish egret taken at Tigertail Beach in March Island, Florida. From the lagoon. Be safe and here's a little something for you folks in light of Ernesto:

Hurricane: 1 ounce light rum, 1 ounce dark rum; 1 ounce Bacardi 151°; 1 ounce lime juice; 1/2 ounce grenadine; 2 ounces orange juice; 3 ounces passion fruit juice; 1 teaspoon superfine sugar. Shake it over cracked ice and enjoy.

Ciao Infidels
