Wall-E vs vacuum cleaner

No comments:

Things to do before I die:

(In this probable order)

1. Eat a honeypot ant.

2. Go luxury camping at Uluru, Ayers Rock and witness the rock by sunset. This one has to be luxury camping. This will do: http://www.longitude131.com.au/ Or this one: http://www.nikiomahe.com/architecture-design/architecture-design-longitude-131°-australia/

3. Walk with lions in Zimbabwe’s Antelope Park that has a breeding program being run, meaning plenty of juvenile lions tame enough for tourists to walk with in the savannah.

4. Go camping in Alaska and witness the aurora borealis. I'd like to rough it out in the wild for this one.. Really be one with nature so to speak. Maybe that's a bit nuts. I'll settle for a warm log cabin too I guess.

5. Witness the migration of the Monarch butterflies in North America.

6. Cage dive with Great White sharks in "Shark Alley", near Cape Town, South Africa.

7. Mountain bike on the noticeably alien landscape around Moab, Utah.

8. Dive to the “centre” of the Earth in Iceland where a gap in the Earth's tectonic plates give front-row seats to the centre of the planet.

I’ll keep adding…

I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken -- and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived. - Margaret Mitchell
