An Old Geezer
Thanks to Lee
An old geezer, who had been a retired farmer for a long time, became very bored and decided to open a medical clinic. He put a sign up outside that said:
"Get your treatment for $500, if not cured get back $1,000."
Doctor "Young," who was positive that this old geezer didn't know beans about medicine, thought this would be a great opportunity to get $1000.
So he went to Dr. Geezer's clinic.
This is what transpired.
Dr. Young: --- "Dr. Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth." can you please help me ?
Dr. Geezer: --- "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in Dr. Young's mouth.
"Dr. Young: --- Aaagh !! -- "This is gasoline"
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be $500."
Dr. Young gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days figuring to recover his money.
Dr Young: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."
Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."
Doctor Young: "Oh no you don't, -- that is gasoline!"
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $500."
Dr. Young (after having lost $1000) leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.
Dr. Young: "My eyesight has become weak --- I can hardly see !!!!
Dr. Geezer: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that so -- " Here's your $1000 back."
Dr. Young: "But this is only $500..."
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500."
Moral of story: Just because you're young doesn't mean that you can outsmart an old "Geezer " !!!!
Eagle Eyes
Thanks to Bert.
An imperial eagle named Darshan captured phenomenal views of the capital of the United Arab Emirates while taking cues from his trainer on the ground. The eagle flight was arranged by the nature conservation group Freedom Conservation with the purpose of drawing attention to eagle conservation. This white-tailed eagle has been critically endangered for the last 50 years. With a height of 2,722 feet (830 m), the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates is currently the world’s tallest building. Camera: Sony ActionCam Mini
On Saturday, 14th March, an eagle was fitted with a camera . . . and "Eaglecam"
and took flight from the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa, in Dubai. Here is the film.
What surprises me is how the eagle could find his trainer from that height and distance. What eyesight!

This couple proves that "living in a van down by the river," as SNL's
Chris Farley put it, need not represent a pathetic low at all.
Their street-legal contraption -- a "castle" on wheels complete with
rooftop pool, solar and gas power, and the charm of luxuries like a
deck and shower -- belongs in a commemorative issue of Better
Homes and Gardens.

The Reindeer People
Thanks to Bert
When we think of reindeer, most of us jump to the same imagery: the North Pole, snow and Christmas time.
When you think of reindeer, your mind might not immediately go to the Altai Mountains of Outer Mongolia in Central Asia . Here, a nomadic tribe lives among the reindeer.
The lives of the real-life reindeer riders have fascinated outsiders for generations.
The idyllic land was described in 518 B.C.E. by Greek poet Pindar as "Hyperborea" and the tribe as a healing race living peacefully with “neither disease not bitter old age is mixed… in their sacred blood; far from labor and battle… ”
The tribe's contemporary name is the Mongolian Taïga Dukha, for the Taïga region mountain range in Khövsgöl , Mongolia .
It's neighbored by the Russian border and the remote Darkhad valley.
Much of the area is under natural protection, although it's noted for its inaccessibility and remoteness, even by local standards.
Although the Dukha call the area home, they are certainly not a dominating force: they readily share their space with an incredible array of their animal neighbors.
Wild horses, bears, eagles, and wolves are all common to Khövsgöl's landscape.
The Dukha have for generations bred docile reindeer, although never for meat. Their unique form of reindeer husbandry is keenly conscious of the area's conservation and bio-diversity.
The reindeer provide a great means of transportation along the rough terrain for migrating, hunting and occasionally taking trips into town. Nearby villages will often purchase and collect the antlers the reindeer naturally shed during wintertime.
Beyond the reindeer, Dukha have a tradition of eagle hunting.
The Dukha practice Tengrism, a shamanistic religion that emphasizes totemism, the spiritual connection and kinship with animals, plants and spirit beings.
There's a seamless blend from totemism in religious practice and everyday life.
For example, one of the most honorable titles passed down by generations is the eagle hunter who tames and trains eagles to hunt small prey for food.
Photographer and Mongolia/Tibetan language scholar Hamid Sardar-Afkhami spent some time with this incredible Himalayan tribe to bring these incredible images.
