A little while ago I stumbled across a site full of photo’s of Curaçao (the largest island of the Netherlands Antilles). I’ve always felt a connection with this island, even though I have never been there (yet!), simply because it’s where my mother was born and grew up. Her father (my grandfather) was employed at the Royal Dutch Shell, which had a large oil refinery there at Asiento.
The maker of the site grew up on Curaçao, and it’s nice to experience the past of this Dutch colony through his photo’s. Worth checking out!
Well, there was not much of a White Christmas here this winter, but we do now appear to have a White Easter!

Now there is something you don’t see every day… A truck transporting a giant… wooden wheel?!?
Obviously a spool that used to contain some kind of cable, but still… not something one sees every day…
I just came across the web site of Crazy Meds. It is helpful guide to psychiatric medications written by the people who use them, with blunt honesty, more scientific rigor than you’d expect, and a very dark sense of humor. Before you start popping Paxil (or anything else), go to Crazy Meds to check out the pros and cons.
And before any of you start wondering or speculating in their own web logs: No, I’m not on any of the medications mentioned on that site, and the voices in my head assure me there is no need for me to begin taking them.
