A Crack In The Windscreen The sad tail of a poor boy who ran out of fuel on the way to the airport. Thankfully we all managed to catch our flight โ๏ธ
Kรกra thought it a miracle
worth celebrating ๐ ๐ฅ ๐พ



It’s nice to get away
to a tropical paradise . . .

to where the happy locals are friendly . . .

as we go visit the lucky relatives
who get to live here permanently ๐

The cute little monkeys,
playing on our rental car, are
Rhesus Macaques from India.
The two Long-Tailed Macaques
we met on the island of Bali.
They were the welcoming
committee at a Hindu Temple.

It does seem to be a family trait

Some of us do it on the freeway
whilst the traditionalists insist on
doing it hanging from a tree ๐ด
Yes, it certainly would’ve been a
bummer if we’d missed that flight โ๏ธ

Who runs out of gas on the way to
catch a flight? โ๏ธ My only excuse
being, I was driving my daughter’s
car and I didn’t think to check it had
fuel in the tank. To then perch on
the edge of the freeway, with cars ๐
and trucks ๐ whizzing past just
inches away, trying to refuel from
a jerry can! The whole situation ๐ซ
seemed to create a crack in the
space-time continuum ๐ค๐ถ๏ธ

It was a little difficult not to note
After you pointed it out in the title
We’re all of us in the same boat
Pants are often loose, and having an ass is vital
Unless we evolve into beings of pure energy
