i can, however have nearly drowned a few times ... step dad to the rescue:).

I'd love to pack up and fly away but alas my path is already laid, my mind never did return from that vacation though:)
My mind's scattered in tiny pieces over half the world.
I've been rescued from drowning several times.
Trouble is, i'm not afraid of water, so i often go well out of my depth.
Silly me.

In the early days of experimenting to discover how bats could see so well in the dark, they put owls and bats in very, very dark rooms with bells hung across from ropes.
If there was even a little light, the owls could see well enough to avoid the ropes but if it were pitch black, the owls flew into the ropes and rang the bells, whereas the bats could still avoid them.

That's funny so how come you don't like camels??
Lots of bad experiences.
And they know I don't like them (except to eat).
They're nasty, bad tempered, stinky, mangy, stupid, stubborn,rotten toothed,clumsy, evil beasties who generally pretend they don't understand English or even Arabic.

Thanks.
Another time, in Egypt, I got on a camel that was kneeling to go on a trek to a local oasis.
It refused to get up off it's knees, even though the other dozen or so had all done so.
The Egyptian owners couldn't understand it, as it always behaved for them, but despite gentle cajoling, then sharp words, threats, and eventually physical beatings the camel wouldn't move for nearly an hour, finally arising and heading slowly off in the wrong direction.
I gave up and went back to the hotel.
(on foot).
