The unwanted soon found out that breaking a window pain resulted in dad appearing with a large stick, so they found with a lot of hard work they could dig their way straight through the wall making a hole just large enough to crawl through. No small task as it was concrete and over a foot thick. <br /><br />Dad soon learned the difference in the muffled noise that activity made versus an animal scratching which was more common. However, we still lost several typewriters!Vic Midyetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953933355681691513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676316.post-58079947372060933062016-08-17T08:17:57.433-04:002016-08-17T08:17:57.433-04:00Vic, Shirley, and "Unknown": All of your...Vic, Shirley, and "Unknown": All of your comments were so recommending of Ed's article that I quoted them as comments on my Facebook and Google+ "ads," in the hope that some of those reading them will be motivated to share them further.

In recent years naval captains offer large financial inducements when they apprehend illegal migrant boats to the boats masters to return home or face imprisonment with their vessel being burnt. They head back. But sadly, many come from war zones but others as economic migrants.<br />The situation in Costa Rica remids me of South Africa (my birth place) and during one visit just after Sunrise I took my sister's ankle high, delightful mongrel for a walk down the road past all the highwalls and fences with razor wire. We were the centre of attraction with German shepherds, Rottweileirs and others doing their utmost to get out and rip us apart. The occupiers dushed out to control and silence their dogs in their pyjamus. <br />Mongrel and I kept going with ever broadening smiles.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260312384000871799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676316.post-13759701511668637072016-08-16T23:20:14.281-04:002016-08-16T23:20:14.281-04:00Wow Cousin, so, so true, just makes me appreciate ...Wow Cousin, so, so true, just makes me appreciate you even more, if that is possible.
