This picture is of a statue.
I believe it is made of jade.
Can anyone tell me; what it is made of?
The name of the statue?
The name of the artist?
The name of the model?
When it was made?
And what idiot decided it should be painted.
Apparently the mermaids are now flesh coloured on top and light blue on the fins.

Again


The word `again’ is pronounce `a gane’ as in; `lane,  `Spain `rain’.
It everyday life it doesn’t matter if you mispronounce it, as long as people understand what you are trying to say.
However, when singing a song.
How many famous singers, in their hit songs have mispronounced it?
Thus the song doesn’t run smoothly because the lines don’t rhyme.
Such as, “We listen to the rain,
As it started up agen.”
Just a pet peeve of mine.
It surprises me that such errors were not caught before the record was cut and distributed.

My website viewers


Sometimes I feel that no one reads my website
I wonder why I bother.
Then I will get an E like one of the following and it makes all my efforts worthwhile.

About 20 years ago we were on vacation there.
I noticed a man with a sketch book that had
been watching us for a couple of days. On the
third day he approached me and introduced
himself. He was the artist David Rojo. He
showed me his sketches and there I was turned
into a mermaid. He asked for my permission to
use me as his muse on a sculpture that the
municipality had asked him to do. Unfortunately
David died a couple of weeks ago, but I know
that he must be very happy with what people
like you have to say about his art. He was an amazing
man and wonderful artist.
