X, Y and Z are missing. I bet the wife's dog ate them.
Anyway, just imagine an island without all those trimmings.
Okinawa, Japan has about 100 islands like that and I want to go see them all.
Could you live on an island without all that stuff ?
The picture is nice but you lost me at no jellybeans. ;)
ReplyDeleteAverage Traveler,
ReplyDeleteSee, it was early in the morning. Coffee hadn't kicked-in yet. Trying to come up with an alphabetical list, jellybeans popped into my head when I got to the letter "J". Hope I didn't offend any jellybean growers, er nuthin. Then, I went and got the dictionary. That made the rest easy, until I got to the part where the dog ate the last few pages !
I can do without the politicians!
ReplyDeleteInsideJourneys,
ReplyDeleteBut, then you'd have nobody to give your tax money to !
Ah, to have an island to escape to now and again.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, I love the vivid colors (^_^)
ReplyDeleteEasy Hiker, That's the plan, every chance I get, go escape to a new one.
ReplyDeleteMuza-chan, I bet there are a few up in the part of Japan you visit. Aren't you into island-hopping ?
It's fun !
No xemes, yaks or zebras either Mike?
ReplyDeleteWow, that is extreme!
Jim,
ReplyDelete"No xemes, yaks or zebras" LOL, I don't really need to buy a new dictionary as long as I have you around. Thanks. I've heard of 2 outta the 3 but, what's an xeme ?
No I couldn't (unless I had to).
ReplyDeleteHow could I read your post everyday Mike if I didn't have some of those things? :0
ReplyDeleteLet's go drive'n in the rain again man!!!
Ryukyu Ru.
Don't think I could on it but I could sure spend some time on an island like that. Nice post.
ReplyDeleteNow, see, I like opera. And keyboards (both on the computer and the piano). And high heels and even a bit of luxury. Nonetheless, a few days without any of it on a Ryukyu Island would be fab.
ReplyDeleteps I was going to suggest no xenon gas, the little xemes are kinda cute.
What a beautiful photo! But to answer your question -- I don't think I could live without some of those things, but I'd like to try it out for a while.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
ReplyDeleteLet's rent a boat next time.
Denise, Aw, sure you could.
ReplyDeleteLeigh, Thanks. I bet you'd enjoy it. At least for a little while.
Sophie, Now that I think of it, those islands are luxuries !
A few days...YEP...then I have to get back to my boyfriend...Lenova and he need electricity and an Internet connection :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot.
Nancie,
ReplyDeleteThe electricity is one thing, I think we all need these days. Not to worry, before long we'll all have some solar-powered gadgets or old fashioned hand cranks to fire our gear up.
Cathy,
ReplyDeleteSure you could. Try it sometime just for a few days!
