Jim from Jupiter

Jim,
Just read your report on the casino people eater.
Why in the world was the alligator killed for doing what alligators do? It should have been awarded all the tasteless chicken it could eat for the rest of its life. I remember a favorite phrase from an old chief gunner's mate. "F*** with the bull, you get the horn."

Hello Jim - I am stopping by to wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving. I have left a bouquet of Fall colored flowers on your table for you.

Happy Thanksgiving, Jim

Jim, just stopping by to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.

Jim: HAVE A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING &
GIVE THANKS FOR ALL THE BLESSING BESTOWED UPON US HERE IN AMERICA.

Wishing you and your family a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving! Hope your day reminds you of all of the wonderful things we have for which to be thankful!

Jim, wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Jim, somehow you sneaked onto my page without me knowing. Thanks for the chuckle about Hooved Rats. My dad still calls deer that!

Wasn't aware that you worked with sea turtles. I've never seen one (besides the pictures on the net and of course in the movie Finding Nemo, lol) When I was much younger, my grandparents used to make turtle booyah with snapping turtle meat. Of course, that was before they were endangered. We make do with chicken and beef now :)

Dear Jim,
When you mentioned you had new pictures on your gallery I took a look here. They are a very fascinating collection of pictures.
I came across green turtles in the Torres Straits where they now farm them - on York Island. This maintains their natural numbers against hunting -for they are a popular food item among island Melanesians. In that they rescue hatchlings that would otherwise be lost to predators in their early days - so it a very worthwhile strategy.

Hi Jim! Came by for a look at your latest pictures. Enjoyed all, but liked that white tiger & the birds the best! Is that Anhinga a rare bird? - never heard of them before. He's quite unique! Glad we made it through hurricane season without a major hit in FL this year. Merry & to you & your son.

Hi, Jim! I'm getting caught up on missed comments during my time without a computer. (I'm still on borrowed time.) You mentioned your new pictures, so I came here to see them. Your picture of the Veterans Memorial in Dixon, IL, is about 3 or 4 blocks from where one of my nephews lives. What brought you to Dixon, if I may ask? I visit the area 4 or 5 times a year, as my sister is in the next town - Sterling. Hope all is well for you in Jupiter! Have a wonderful holiday!

Thank you Jim, I have thoroughly enjoyed my trip through your photos. Fascinating.
Were you devastated when the centre closed down earlier this year or was it a move for the better?

The Loggerhead Marinelife Center did not close; we moved into our new building in April. It was a tremendous move for the better. The old facility was so run down it had become dangerous.
You can see pictures of the new center on www.marinelife.org

Julie, I have been coming to Dixon since 1982, back when I was still engaged. My in-laws live on a farm between Dixon and Sterling near Sauk Valley Community College. My own parents are dead and so is my late wife, so I treat my in-laws like my parents now. Besides, they only have one grandchild... my son!

I'll put this right on your page rather than hope you trip over it on the easy page.

Your shotgun barrel bounced me right out of my chair and I'm still trying to catch my breath. Funny, funny!

I lost my dad this past spring to just plain old worn out heart failure. He went easy and peaceful and we all knew it was comming, but it still doesn't make missing him any easier. Remembering the good along with the bad and finding good humor in a life well spent, I think, helps.

Jim & Will
Wishing you and you both a
wonderful, safe and relaxing time
over the Christmas Season.
May 2008 bring you both
Love, happiness and fulfilment.
From all here at Foxhaven Resort



PS: I'll keep the 1900 turned on. LOL

Jim, I was at Metrozoo on Saturday, 1-5. For me it is about a 45 min. trip. We have a membership there as my kids love nature. I think the aviary is their favorite. I always have to visit the Australia area. Actually saw the koala move its head.

Jim, one, let us know when Jonas the turtle goes back to the sea. Two when you hold a turtle up in the picture, it's more respectful if you hold his head to the camera, not his butt! Ah, I think that was his . . . wait a minute . . . could that have been his head? Oooops! maybe he should pop out a nose to let us know which end is which, no the nose might look too much like the tail. Oh now I'm so confused I don't know which end is up!

Jim why would one want to save feral felines? By that I mean wild once domestic cats and their offspring.The casualties caused by these cats here in Western Australia is huge, they are responsible for the demise of many small native animals. Incidently are the beef cans full? Keep up the good work.

Jim, I expect that Jonas will be released with some fanfare. Please let me know. I have a little boy who is struggling in math right now and knowing that a turtle with his name is going to be freed will raise his spirits. Thanks, shosho

Hi Jim, I have just viewed your photos they are fantastic you must have had a wonderful trip. Keep up the good work with the sea turtles.

Hi Jim, loved your photos, though the last one didn't seem to fit with the others... You do some amazing work, including your photography skills.

I did wonder Jim, thanks for the explanation! I have a mink coat that I will never wear - don't believe in them - but I inherited it from a great aunt and can't bear to part with it. It hangs in my closet as a reminder of both my aunt and my hypocrisy.

That came out wrong - meant to imply that my original comment wasn't supposed to sound judgemental, and ended up sounding even more judgemental!! Sorry about that!

Jim,

Thanks for sharing your memories of Harry Carey, much appreciated.

Hi Jim,
Don't think we have been introduced yet.
Like your comments.
Only learning this site.
Take care,

Hi Jim! Thanks for your visit. Thank you also for taking a look at my pictures. I will change my label when I leave here on the Sandhill Crane. It was so much fun last summer to watch the baby grow! These birds have been coming to our neighbors for several years now, but this was the first time we have seen any babies! Their property has water on it and part of their land is very wet! We have a lot of wetlands here in our area. (And mosquitoes to go with them)

I am glad you enjoyed looking at my musical instruments. I joined a mountain band about 4 years ago here locally. We have a lot of fun getting together in the summer and playing our music.

Where is Jupiter in Florida? East or West Coast? Are you near Miami? My parents live in Cape Coral.
