That’s what one of my co-workers told me. I was asking why all the photographs of mythical beasts were fuzzy or out of focus. Apparently, this is an automated setting that you cannot alter. It certainly explains why there are no clear photographs of a Bigfoot, Yeti, Sasquatch, Abominable Snowman, Bunyip, random big cats, etc. in existence. While researching this subject I discovered that many of the claimed Bigfoot sightings have subsequently been admitted to be hoaxes. That’s not fair. I’d love there to still be some strange creatures wandering about mostly hidden from human view. We do, on occasion, re-discover a creature that had been thought to be extinct. The most amazing one, as far as I’m concerned, is the Dinosaur Ant. An entomologist found two specimens in Western Australia in 1931. They searched for 30 years to find a living colony without success. Then, an accidental discovery of a living colony at Poochera, South Australia in 1977. That’s 1700 km from the Russell Range. Since then another 17 colonies have been found on the Eyre Peninsula. Scientists think these ants are unchanged from the specimens caught in amber that date back 60 million years. They’re hard to find because they are nocturnal, unlike most other ants. The only reason they were found is because an entomologist travelling to Esperance in WA stopped for a nature break at night and spotted these odd ants. Like all good entomologists, he was carrying a specimen jar. No blurry or fuzzy photo here. Another case of luck being the result of preparedness and experience. Regards, P.S. Some people say that the harder they work, the luckier they get, but that’s BS. We all know people who work extremely hard without getting a lucky break, you might be one of them. We also all know at least one person who seems to have all the luck. What we don’t know is how hard or how long they worked before they got lucky. All we can see is the end result. Online, the people who seem to make money easily are those who have either a highly responsive or a very large email list. Some people have both. Yesterday’s email gave you a link to the way you can build a responsive email list. Today I’m showing you where you can start your email list with a free autoresponder.
