    That is seriously fascinating , @Patsy Faye ! Please tell me where you read/watched that because I want to read it myself.
    I love this kind of stuff, just like you do !
    There seems to be a lot of mysterious things in his life that we wonder about. And there are other people who seemed to have either come from a different time, or at least visited one or had a vision of it.
    Nicola Tesla and Jules Verne come to mind right away, and I am sure that there are more.
    Please start a new thread about this so we don’t throw Gloria’s thread off-topic, but I want to talk about this, and probably others will be interested, too.

    Hopefully it was from a book or video, not YOU actually in the water hoping he was afraid. :D

    I knew about it as I like to watch wildlife documentaries. One was on the Jaguar it was fabulous viewing, although for me,
    all animal docus are better than the normal TV viewing

    My new learned thing everyday kind of in slow mode. Does realizing the dandelion flowers duck when they see a lawn mower coming, then stand up again when the mower has passed count as learning.

    Is this a seasonal related position or something you plan to do on an ongoing basis?
