A flag to consider…

…when remembering that today, the 4th of July, marks the anniversary of a stunning change in history. Hear these words:

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of NatureĀ and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Original “Navy Jack” flag.

Words to consider… words to live by… and a standard under which to face the enemies of freedom be they where they may.

White Modern Cuisine, Aruba, menu

White Modern Cuisine (in my humble opinion) is about the best restaurant in Aruba right now. Urvin Croes, the chef, takes his food very seriously and you can watch him plating the meals for proof. Lately, people have been asking me what’s on the menu and the prices and so forth. Thus, here is the “new” menu as photographed last evening:

Here’s the next leaf in the menu:

And the final part as shown here:

In the next post, I’ll show the wonton soup which is listed among the appetizers. I had this as a late-night snack and was very pleased. The food here is very upscale, meaning small portions, super high quality ingredients, and dramatic presentation. If you ask me, worth every single penny! Plans have been made for several visits this month, as the budget permits. Bon dia.

Avalanche, Aruba

The white cat pictured below lives down the road from my house. I see him frequently on my way to and from my shack. He’s got a bit of a mean disposition, doesn’t take any crap from anyone or other animals. I saw him backing down a dog a few days ago. Hence the name, AVAL, as in avalanche. Here’s his pic:

Aval as in Avalanche, an Aruban cat.

More Aruban cat photos on the way. A word to the wise… if you see this guy sleeping on the step, don’t bother him. Bon dia.

Fans Big and Small!

I received this photo from Jeff and his father-in-law, the D-Man, holding up Dark Currents with the little one in between.

These are a couple of cool dudes who like to read. All the best guys and thanks for the pic! By the way, you can never start a child reading too soon. In fact, the younger the better. You can’t learn everything from a book, but you can save yourself a lot of trouble.
