LOOKING AT SEA CREATURES

I recently saw a clip of some people looking at the monsters, strange alien living things, crawly things with long succulent legs, sharks, all kinds of fish, some with large lips and teeth and foreign matter of various sorts with shells and spinney legs that crawl around on the floor of the sea. It was a frightening sight.

This was inside a public aquarium with glass on every wall where one could actually see and watch all these sea creatures. There were some negligent parents that had actually brought their children in to be terrified and receive nerve damage by the sights and smells of the sea creatures. The cost was only $65 for adults and $50 for children to go in and be scared half-to-death out of one’s wits looking at water creatures at the aquarium. I heard one parent say to his child, “And, Billy, if your behavior doesn’t change… we’ll bring you back here again next week.”

I’m headed over to the other side of the Pond to have some Cuban Coffee and Raspberry Tart to try and settle down my whizzed stomach. Even the Pond smells a little fishy this afternoon.

“The collectors of the Temple tax came to Peter and asked him, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the Temple tax?”
“Yes, he does,” Peter, replied. Then he went into the house. But before he had a chance to speak, Jesus asked him, “What do you think, Peter? Do kings tax their own people or the people they have conquered?”
“They tax the people they have conquered,” Peter replied. “Well, then,” Jesus said, “the citizens are free! However, we don’t want to offend them, so go down to the lake and throw in a line. Open the mouth of the first fish you catch, and you will find a large silver coin. Take it and pay the tax for both of us.” Jesus
