Telling tales from around the world
Found this in an old shed behind the historic section of Cromwell, and old gold-mining town on the south island. Several dozen old buildings from the area have been shifted there and restored and now house contemporary businesses. Presumably this involved the old buildings and their contents, some of which proved useful in creating the old-time atmosphere, the rest that were rubbish then and are rubbish now. But I guess at some point even old rubbish gets too old to throw away.
Thirteen used to be my lucky lucky number, ever since I was 7 and put a dime on the wheel at a church bazaar and it won - and I walked away with a cool $1.30 which was a considerable amount when you think a Nestlé's Crunch Bar cost five cents.
But I've got to rethink it... this year's been crap - troubles, illness, heartbreak... I'm half thinking those half-crazed Mayans might have been half right - though I don't half know about what.
Taking suggestions for sure-fire cures for angst, ennui, hospital stays, strict diets and other people. And any other good advice is always welcome.
Didn't get the palomino I was hoping for in 2012, definitely no Nestle's Crunch in 2013. What do I want from this year??? From the OTHER half of this year...

I really do need to get those new glasses. At first glance, the two curved things in the middle reminded me of futuristic metal dogs napping together. Then I was reminded of those metal things in the Matrix movies.
