Greetings, All!
We gave the world the cochlear implant for the bionic ear... and now the little darlings in Melbourne have made a bionic eye and see a wonderful future for neural implants to fix blindness, Parkinsons, Alzheimers etc.
On top of that, Charlie Tio, our brain surgeon extarordinaire is working with NASA to build a tumour seeking "nose" (I gather, a probe that allows the surgeon to know where the tumour is as he wanders around in the brain.
I love technology!

I am hitting the turps pretty hard at present, being the proud owner of a huge studio with wonderful space and light and about as big as my house. I now leave my home like a real person and drive for 25 minutes and unlock 3 doors and smile as I gaze out at the beautiful river. Not yet organised to take photos and the move is taking ages because i bought a tiny little 4x4 Suzuki Sierra to go fishing on the beach and it does not fit many canvases, easels and other paraphernalia... lots of trips! Also. a great coffee culture in the town!

Without Jass
She died. Quietly in my arms, just six months short of 18 years.
She is buried right front centre of my yard so I see her at all times. Forever in my head.
She died a year ago tomorrow.
I have no words but thousands of photos.
I planted a bare rooted rose called "Seduction" on her grave and I have had an unbelievable 10 months of continuous and beautiful roses and buds.
Jass just keeps on giving.
Winter Has Gone
Yes...I know it really isn't what you would call winter to some of you!
However, it was a stupendous whale migration as they thundered past , flapping their fins and doing backflips.
There must have been a lot of fish in my part of the Pacific because the dolphins and sharks didn't need to worry each other.
Seven people made the usual mistake of swimming in overcast, and early and naturally got bitten for their trouble. (Sharks, Great White, not whales or dolphins)
One local lifesaver who lives here had his ankle bitten through and they are still looking for his Achilles tendon, I believe.
One or possible two lost their lives and they m
Continuing Jass...
Joy all around in my home.
After four months of Jass being unable to have fun {and me being morose and frowning for her sake};
after convincing that my chiropractor could do dogs, not just people;
after spending day after day massaging her spine and reading her stories; (Taste runs to Daniel Silva...surprising);
after wrecking my left knee by lifting her in and out of cars and vets and up and down my front steps;
after spending a night sleepless worrying about how i would know when to say "Bye" and
after agonising about where she would best like to be buried...
after all of that, Jass can now do the steps and once I get her front paws
I'm Smiling
Sometimes I stop and listen I can hear the earth giving up its coal and gas, its water and its minerals. Sometimes I worry that we will tilt out of orbit with all the taking out and not much putting back.
I am continuously astonished by the tolerance and adaptability of our planet.
In fact, the latter is the reason I love this big old Earth so very much.
It just does what Darwin had to find and prove...adapt or die.
Two things give me peace and make me smile.
Animals and Nature, and often, with all this man made horror everywhere you look, I am just so grateful to have eyes and ears ,a sense of smell and skin to feel the wind , that I

u got me thinking in sci-fi, there:
cochlea implant of a different kind. why only enhance the live audio signal to get it to the hearing nerve? why only take the live visual and push it where the brain can make sense of it?
why stop at "live"?
make an implant chip which trickles the encyclopaedia britannica straight into the synapses whenever the brain is not doing much, anyway.
