I don't notice anything around the periphery (or walking straight through the middle) of that at all. I never notice if people change their decor or blog design for instance because I only concentrate on what they write. <BR/><BR/>Fascinating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4511287927381998273.post-58420738488636228282008-09-30T00:18:00.000-05:002008-09-30T00:18:00.000-05:00Well I was thinking about this and ooooh butterfly...Well I was thinking about this and ooooh butterfly!flutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828689769747130419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4511287927381998273.post-53504032166473955932008-09-29T22:43:00.000-05:002008-09-29T22:43:00.000-05:00The video was no longer available.

We tend to multi-task and my guess is that we have more trouble concentrating because we are thinking of so many things. I did not see the gorilla...JCKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04582581376724478366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4511287927381998273.post-53322296022547100382008-09-29T15:03:00.000-05:002008-09-29T15:03:00.000-05:00Bummer!
