Grit in the Gears

I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes. I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over. I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong. And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions. I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely. It's what we do.

Moody Blues, Voices in the Sky, 1970.

Hello Growabrain People.

Growabrain....
Ever since I started blogsurfing, Growabrain (http://growabrain.typepad.com/) has been pretty much an everyday visit.
Hanan Levin somehow finds the energy to blog every day, pictures, links, video, pointers to websites of interest, whilst carrying on a real-life career in real-estate, (here). Rainy day? run out of things to do? avoiding chores? seeking diversion, and looking for a bit of mental stimulus? then browse Growabrain's archives. The danger, of course, is that you'll get lost in there. Leave a trail of crumbs, set your alarm clock to tell you when it's time to return to the real world.

Just thinking about that, of course, if you came via Growabrain, then you already know all that, and that Hanan just linked me over there. For the rest of you, however....

Growabrain..... And don't forget to visit Bifurcated Rivets.

And Why Not?, I Might Ask.

Big-Cat-Blogging

I said I'd post pics of cats only if they were doing stupid things.
These definitely fit the criteria.

'Briton' and Marjorie Smith

'Briton' and Tornado Smith.

I don't know who this lion is, or where.
Cool car though.

Rita the lioness, and Elias Harris.

O sorries Googil, i meaned catblogging.......bwahahahahameow-BOOOOOM!

(sound effect of lolcat stepping on catmine)

..... Oh?

Yes. I suddenly got a giant bunch of hits, a surge in the counter with people coming in via a link at Bifurcated Rivets, a blog of mystic and eclectic links that acts like a giant bran-tub.
Yes, bran tub....
Well go google it then..
Maybe I should have just said 'Lucky Dip'.
Thing is, Bifurcated Rivets has loads of links, but they often give little clue as to where they are about to send you. A bit like stepping into the teleporter and hitting the 'surprise me' button.
I've been zipping into cyberspace thence for.... well, years, I suppose.

Bifurcated Rivets? Eclectica for Epopts.

I recommend it.
