Pina, why did you agree to go to NYC?

You don't have any friends there!  You would have become wealthier if you had focused on Milan, so don't tell me it was a business move.  I can tell that you're scared from the way you compose your photographs.  Well, it's too late now.  While you're there, the same rules apply.  Don't take drugs and alcohol, don't get into debt, and protect your chastity.  Pray.  And get the hell out of there as quickly as possible, and stay in Europe.

Qur'an 20170325

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

43.  Or have they gods that can guard them from Us?  They have no power to aid themselves, nor can they be defended from Us.

44.  No, We gave the good things of this life to these men and their fathers until the period grew long for them.  See they not that We reduce the land from its outlying borders?  Is it then they who will win?

45.  Say, "I do warn you according to revelation."  But the deaf will not hear the call, when they are warned.

46.  If but a breath of the Wrath of your Lord does touch them, then they will say, "Woe to us!  We did wrong indeed!"

The Prophets  21:43-46

It's raining

Yeah, after the dry season comes the rain of course.  God kind of teased us with some drizzle earlier, but now it's really raining.  Feels hot- must be the residue heat creating a humid effect.  So what are you up to?  Traveling?  Or simply organizing your spy network?  I hope you are feeling great, and having a great time.  I love you.

Natty, what are you up to?  Are you eating well?  My cooler is almost empty again, so I'm just eating what I have.  My appetite is back, so I have the motivation now to cook and in larger portions.  I noticed that NYC is right now the center of global fashion business, and that can't be a coincidence.  I do hope you would stay longer in Paris, it suits you so much better.  But I guess NYC needs the money.  Please take good care of yourself Natty, because I love you.

Mystery of the Missing Fish

It's time for another installment of "The Vicious Lives of Fishes", featuring the guppies in my old glass malted milk jar.  The last time, I had changed the water and accidentally crushed one of the females with a slippery rock.  That left me with 5 guppies left, 1 male and 4 females.  Then I bought a pink and yellowish-green plastic plant, then a baby fish immediately appeared.  Actually, 2 baby fish appeared.  Then I saw a third one, but that vanished.  Then when I changed the water today, one of the females had gone.  I'm sure she didn't go down the drain, because I use a strainer, unless she got stuck to the plastic plant when I pulled it out.  Where did these fish go?  It's not like a baby fish because it's too big to allow itself to be cannibalized.  If it jumped out, I didn't see any fish carcasses in my bedroom.  Fish mysteriously disappear from my fish bowl.  Now I have 1 adult male guppy, 3 adult females, and 2 babies.  The male fish seems kind of tired after I changed the water.  Maybe it's time I need a new male fish.

Qur'an 20170323

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

39.  If only the unbelievers knew when they would not be able to ward off the fire from their faces, nor yet from their backs, and no help can reach them!

40.  No, it may come to them all of a sudden and confound them.  No power will they have to avert it, nor will they get respite.

41.  Mocked were messengers before you, but their scoffers were hemmed in by the thing that they mocked.

42.  Say, "Who can keep you safe by night and by day from the Most Gracious?"  Yet they turn away from the mention of their Lord.

The Prophets  21:39-42

Thank you

for your concern, but I am doing OK.  Alhamdulillah.  I'm just taking it easy for a while, watching TV, playing with my kitties.  I've been eating scrambled eggs and sliced bread a lot.  It's quick and easy to cook, eat and clean up.  I hope you are not overworking or anything like that.  Save your heart, please.  Save your heart for me.

Natty, you're making it seem like you're finding work for your buddies.  That's cool honey, just don't pay their wages.  Work on your own wealth and well-being, please.  That's what matters to me.

How's it going?

I'm doing OK, so please don't worry.  I hope you are feeling great and having a great time.  I want you to eat properly, and get plenty of rest.  OK?
