Saying of the Day - 'A Pinch Of Salt'

Yes. Take it with a pinch of salt ..."to listen to a story or an explanation with considerable doubt". The saying for today ... and the week as well. The symbolic salt cellar is half empty at the moment over here with current themes of 'swine flu pandemic' and 'Aussie Boat Linked to Maddie Mystery?' .... yes, I am listening to both stories, in the current media reports, with considerable doubt. Disbelief pokes its salty tentacles into my awareness.

Life's melting pot is a frenzied concoction of stresses, strains and tensions enough ... without any more additions to the mix. The pathways of both current affair 'stories' are tweaking my panic button. One for the last month or two ... the other tweaking the button again after a number of months rest from that irritation. Something has surfaced. The Mole in the hole ...??? A pre-ordained trail now being tiptoed along in both media events. Joe Public being coerced into wandering, albeit reluctantly, along the stepping stones. To finally arrive where THEY want Joe Public to arrived. The boat saga is another twist and turn in an enduring saga. I perceived in the early days of May/June 2007 that there WAS a boat involved. But I did not sense Spain or Barcelona or Australia. I sensed a path through the Med. Remember Malta? Aaaah Malta. We're heading a long way away from that dusty clime now aren't we? Is this Aussie boat a distraction from somewhere else perhaps? Or is it another dangled clue for the wannabe detective forums to play with? Another twist of the key for muggings' in Forums to come up with another story line? Methinks deception is at large ... hence a pinch of salt.
