Every Monday there will be a midrashic fable posted from Louis Ginzberg’s classic collection Legends of the Jews. This week the midrash is about the sixth day of creation. This is a long midrash, but it is well worth reading. Some of the most interesting things to me are: the description of the reem, the interpretation of ‘adam (which seems to take the relationship to ‘adamah to an extreme), the fact that King Hezekiah owes his life to the salamander, the explanation of mice’s mouths, the sAustralia Day 2008 celebrations on the NSW North Coast

We had beers and more beers. 5 bottles but I think that's a bit too few by David and Cheryl standards, HAHAHAHA. By around midnite, we stood by the window and balcony to watch the fireworks. Some of the houses at the adjacent area gave quite a good fireworks show. I bet they must have spent a lot money on it. The fireworks are not cheap. AndCreative Writing for Reptiles
There is a theory that different parts of the human brain have developed incrementally over the course of evolutionary history. The most fundamental brain functions, those concerned with minute-to-minute survival (such as breathing, balance and the fight-or-flight response), derive from the most ancient and primitive core, a part which is shared with more primitive mammals and even reptiles.
