Have you ever noticed that when brewing coffee in a percolator that the surface is always clear and not inhibited by abstractions

I have noticed this ever since I was a child

This inspires me

Occasionally on the beach we find stranded sea turtles that have become victims of the tide these creatures are normally covered in barnacles

But these migrants do not affect the turtles flexibility no matter their age when swimming

This inspires me

For many years my wife and I lived in a busy city until this made us ill and because of this we moved to a small coastal town with a long beach

We often wear scruffy clothes and my wife has let her golden hair grow I do not always shave and look older than my years
