Description
Now I know this is probably not the posting one would expect after being to so many places the last six weeks. However I will explain why an aquarium shot was the choice for my first post upon returning.
Had a late start on July 2nd, and so decided to drive up coastal route 1 as far as possible and stay in a hotel that night. July 3rd arrived in Eureka California paid for a room that was not ready yet and so went to lunch. At lunch received a phone call saying come home. Even though having not even stepped foot in it, the hotel would not refund the room.
Upon returning home I learn that a group of "meth heads" or "tweekers" as they are nicknamed here in the states. Tried kicking in the fence pickets to gain access into the yard and eventually the house. They are all over the news, descriptions of themselves, the vehicle driven and they always try to gain access through the fence in the backyard. The police claim they are homeless and that is why they are still at large. Hmmm... how does one register a vehicle without an address... any way!
They did break the fence but my neighbors happened to be home and scared them off before they climbed through the fence. The husband is an iron worker and like me has been without work for sometime. They expected every one at work when they tried their break in at 2 in the afternoon and lucky for me.... I have good neighbors!!!
So I lost a few hundred in gas and hotels etc., if it was not for my neighbors it would have been a lot more!! Determined not to let them steal my vacation plans I asked a fellow Electrician if he would be a live-in house sitter. So on the morning of the seventh I went back to the "Lost coast"!
Why did this image get chosen for the post one might ask.
In this tank, located at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, these fish and coral form a community in which they all coexist because they are neighborly to one another.
Sorry to have been a little long winded on this one but felt credit was due. Didn't want to post a pic of them or mention their names but wanted to show a token of gratitude of some shape and form. Brought him a 12 pack of his favorite brew as the shape and even though they know nothing of Renderosity, this post is a form of thanks and gratitude... to good neighbors!!!!!!!!!!
Whether your a viewer, commented, rater, or save the image as a fav, you are very much appreciated, thank you

Horrifying story but I'm glad your hero neighbor saved the day and your vacation. I'm sure you'd do the same for him. Superb shot, amazingly clear and the colors are so lovely.

I am so sorry to hear about your attempted break in.... Things are bad now on the street I live on.......we got a letter in the mail from City Hall.....Police would be out at various times and hours......due to 114 different 911 calls in the past mo....the other day I noticed a truck sitting in a neighbors yard.......the house isn't lived in and she lives far off from here...was just sitting there.....my hubby said he is watching our house and I said for what..........watering flowers LOL? So when hubby left he was still there and I walked over and said hey noone lives here and were to keep a watch for odd vechiles in this area..and you have sat here for over 20 minutes without moving....thought I would let you know as the police patrol here frequently.......he pulled out his badge and said "I am the Police"LOL my jaw dropped and he said I was the only person who even acted remotely intrested in why he was sitting in a driveway where no one lives.... but her house got broken into 2 2wks ago...across the street...thieves or teens ones...........stole various items from a persons garage.......stole gas from a ladys tank..........and walked up and lifted our friends gas grill on the truck and took off..........I used to not lock my doors but I do now...esp since I am on Morphine and I know these young teen addicts would do anything for it to get a buzz...............People are crazy....heard that Opana sells for $120 dollars...one pill for about an hour buzz............ridicilous.. If I was a teen I would rather have clothes......books.......game or even food.......so stupid to pay that much for a dang gone old pill.....oh forgive the rambling.......your story got me started LOL For past 3 nights cops have been parked behind my house until 3am........so still patrolling.......and I for one am glad.......teens walk the street here all hours of the night..............the walkbridge is an easy access to town and its right on my street But............................. I am sorry about the rant:( Love this image...............and love that bright color lemon yellow fish... Tis a beaut and a fav with me Hugs Susan~
