CREEPER (and my day out).

This may be my last entry for a while. Need the majority of my remaining data to compose a four page letter on email. It's an important letter. The only other solution that I can think of is to write the letter offline first then send it online. If this doesn't work then the remaining data (or most of it) will be used for the first intent.

CREEPER is a story that I wrote a few weeks ago. He is a real live insect : a non-native cockroach, who meaures nearly five complete inches from feeler tips to his rear end. I've put him out on the fence-wall once, and he came back inside and unbeknownst to me, spent the night on the bedroom wall next to my bed. There, I discovered him in the morning. Out he went again only this time I placed him on the ground below the deck frontage on the grape litter so he could feed on the sweet juicy grapes. I haven't seen him since and that was over a month ago.

Cockroaches have inspired design solutions for a robot that has been specifically created to find people in times of natural disasters and bombings. They can compress their height to ONE QUARTER of their original size and slip into very low spaces with split second speed. Their exoskeletons allow them to do this and their legs are literally flat to the ground surface while being able to move at very fast rates.

I have always had a slightly fearful fascination for the creatures and find their look and colouring quite beautiful.

CREEPER is a story that I wrote about my latest friend who has found its determined cockroach way back inside my tiny home several times. Should he return, he will become my first pet in years and I will feed him.
My aim is to see how intelligent they are and if he is capable of loyalty. I've discovered a mere handful of young ones inside my home, which I have since destroyed, to keep the population down. I'm considering an alternative to robotic use for human rescue efforts : using live, tamed cockroaches (if possible) with a micro camera attached to them (wireless) to search for live victims of crisis. If it's possible to train these magnificent creatures, they would solve all kinds of search variations as well as lives. Are they capable of returning to humans and are they capable of trust and loyalty if fed and touched by human hand and handled?

Who knows. Potential heroes is all I can say.

Once again the local community amaze and humble me. To my eighty-three-year-old widow neighbour Merv a grateful thankyou for your kindness in giving me a lift into town this morning. You young drivers? This gentleman has superb driving skills still. I hope that you live to celebrate your one hundreth birthday Merv. Outlive Queen Elizabeth love.

I do not expect these random acts of kindness and I humbly appreciate them.
I will enter a statement of thanks in our local newspaper sans my identity.

A day of rushing around town hiding my stress due to how much I needed to get through. The day would have been less stressful had I not dawdled for my first hour browsing through books. Oh, man! So hard to tear myself away from them once I get started.

Everything got done except for half the letter.

Speaking of the letter...time to get writing again.

Until next time...

Love, light, peace and blessings.

A-JX aka Amber-rose.
