| At the shore where I workout, are this time of year, a lot of wildlife vying
for what I can only assume is their share of what spring's offering. Mostly
birds; seabirds, ravens and various birds of prey, above while I strenuously
plow on.
Today, I was given an aerial show with a falcon battling ravens. Never seen such
before. Observing what I could through my exhaustion, it was glorious to witness
the falcon’s ability to evade the blackbirds' assault. I can only assume
that it's the plentiful number of rabbits at our feet, the falcon was interested
in.
These rabbit staying close underfoot, are strangely unafraid of us humans. In
noticing the falcon today and ospreys previously, I had a thought that perhaps
the rabbits might've learned that humans (we working out) keep birds of prey
at bay? Just a random thought this morning. Could be projecting

Eleven years and today you hit it. What will your BrickLink profile look like
in another eleven, I wonder?
Used to really enjoy this type of milestone in others. Still do, apparently

| My daughter and I both just finished this. We both also found (in different ways)
the experience very helpful in balancing that moral compass we all depend, perhaps
even more so today
My son blazed through his original Mediations. Then again, Gavin's intellectually
exceptional and therefore easily bored. In other words, no "contemporary
reading" for him But for us normies its a recommended and excellent way
to absorb the man's timeless reasoning. Grounding

| We had season passes the first two years of LegoLand, CA's opening, my son,
daughter and I. Mostly as a place to hang out when bored, sometimes just somewhere
to eat our lunch outdoors. It was a very nice environment for the kids and I
in the earlier years of its opening. Very relaxed wonderful space for them especially.
Good memories
So almost inevitably, we became friends with some that worked there. In particular
was a woman that ran the injection molding display at the park, my kids speaking
Swedish and her being from and missing her family in Sweden, it just happened.
Anyway, we ended up with a lot of souvenirs she liked to give them, samples from
what the displayed LEGO injection molding machine processed throughout the day.
This was before our involvement with BL and the selling of LEGO, or really even
as enthusiastic fans of LEGO, and so they were just fun items for my son and
daughter to take home.
Cutting back towards the point: These items were produced on an official LEGO
injection molding machine by a LEGO affiliated employee. Would these unique items
hypothetically then be allowed into the BL catalog? I say hypothetically, as
we no longer have the parts. Tossed them long ago, actually
Now to the point: What does actually qualify as "officially" LEGO
and therefore allowed to be sold here? Maybe more definitive guidelines would
be useful to all of within the secondary marketplace?
Just some (anecdotal backed) pondering

Seems to me anyway, that simply restricting zero feedback members the use of
links in the forum, would immediately eliminate most current spam posts and deter
future ones. Haven’t been looking that close at these posts, but from what I’ve
seen, it’s presenting links they have as a common purpose or motivation. Removing
motivation is often a subtle yet effective tack in life.
Could be that it’s not all that simple, technically to implement. I don’t know,
but if doable, why not? Personally don't find the spam posts all that bothersome.
Many do though, and if there's an easy fix to tidy things up a bit...
