Our 10th year blogging!

This August, we will celebrate our 10th anniversary blogging on "Patagonian Monsters" and the early peopling of America!

As I (and my wife, my mom and my granddaughter say: "Time flies").

And yes, I must admit that time flies by!, Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro, 70 BC – 19 BC, who only lived to be 51 years old) put it very clearly: "Time flies never to be recalled".

So let's seize the day, in a Carpe Diem spirit and ponder upon our brief moment in eternity, our flash in the vastness of time.

After all, what is the life span of a human being (70 - 90 years) in the life of our universe (14 Billion years and counting)?

Nothing! we are gone in a flash, we appear from nothing, live and are gone in a breeze, to rest eternally.

The Verve in "Bitter sweet symphony, was rather blunt:
"Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the money then you die."

I disagree with The Verve, I am not a slave to money, and find delight in the small things of life (Note to self: the hidden pleasures of life are to be found in the "small" moments, not in things... experiences, fleeting moments of bliss far surpass the crass delights of material joy, of buying, having, owning...)

So, having said that, and looking back at these ten years, I must say that it has been an honor and also a great pleasure to post here over the past ten years, and I will continue doing so because I really enjoy it.

Thank you for putting up with me! And, for another 10 -or 20? - more years.

Austin
