  37. Hi Linda, Welcome back and thanks for stopping by my blog site. I tend to look on the darker side of the moon than you do. It has something to do with the 40 years I spent dealing with mostly poor top management plus the thousand of thieves encountered during my career in retail security/loss prevention. Never have been attacked by a goose but my mother's rooster hated me and always came after me! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

  71. Thank you for your comment and visit to my blog. Brazil and Rio de Janeiro are full of problems. But the Brazilian people have their own culture, history, nature and countless natural beauties, which make a difference. I don't always have the time or money to travel, but when I do, I record a little bit of Brazil through photographs. The city of Rio de Janeiro has many cultural centers, and whenever possible I visit and show the work of national artists. Thank you for your words and I am happy to present a little bit of my country and the state of Rio de Janeiro. Thank you for your comment.
