RIP Jayzik Azikiwe. The poet, songwriter, singer, and rollergirl from Dire Straits’ video, Skateaway, passed away in January 2008. She wrote the unofficial anthem for The Gambia, still available on YouTube: “Be at one with nature. Eat fresh fruits on the beach. Travel ’round safari style. Try the local treats.”
Sleep is dangerous. Creatures of the sea, lizards, birds… these tend to rest half the brain at a time. Its nothing to do with smarts. Dolphins log at the surface of the wide ocean. One eye open. Only land mammals sleep both brains at once. This is supposedly because a marmot once dug a hole, and was safe for the night. Habits change over time. Nowadays we terrestrial beasts sometime snooze two to a sofa.
Old fish. Old dolphin. Half-on land and half on-hand. Half fur and half Eagle. Half dog and half god. Swimming bear, swim through salmon-choked waters to the other shore!
Let’s do this again real soon…
adorable, cute dog too
