Religion and the Mountains

As far as I know it is fiction, but there is a grain of truth. Leith Hill is the highest point in South East England, at 960 feet. So the locals built a forty foot tower to take the height to a thousand feet. I have been up it once.

Are Border Collies Really the Smartest Dog Breed?

Your profile-page photo assembles a canine sentient and an equine sentient.

That assembly causes me to consider with what competitions equine attributes correlate.

Equine beauty and grace draw amiability and appearance competitions. Have there been "smartest horse breed" competitions?

Religion and the Mountains

Thank you for your comment below, in answer to my previous observation and question.

Online sources describe the film The Englishman that went up a hill and down a mountain as fictionalized and the village Ffynnon Garw as fictitious.

Sources online give the film ending as the villagers having their mountain held biogeographically as a mountain by intra- and extra-Welsh standards. The Ffynnon Garw-ers increase the height by including rock piles at the hill (to some)/mountain (to them) top!

Is such a pile-up fiction also or might that make a hill a mountain in real life?

How to Tell Someone You're Falling Out of Love

The fifth item in the fourth subheading, The best way to break up, advises us that "Do it over a nice diner out in public, go to one of your favorite places, tell the other you value everything you've shared, that your time together will forever be with you but you have in fact experienced a change of heart in regard to being a couple."

The state where I'm from and the state where I went to school before university years both have the tradition of indicating love lost by inviting the number 1 no more to lunch (as opposed to breakfast, brunch, dinner or drinks).

Might that tradition hold in your state?

Support Your Local Pet Rescue Charity

Thank you for your comment below, in answer to my previous observation and question.

The London zoo can be commended for keeping African wild dogs "well fed" even as that same entity disappoints in doing canine diets such that the wild-dog sentients display "a little overweight" appearances.

Is the staff aware that "These animals in their natural environment would be lean and fit due to the chase of the prey"?

No, I am not a great film goer

Religion and the Mountains

Thank you for your comment below, in answer to my previous observation and question.

Matt Rosenberg, in Difference between hills and mountains, updated July 17, 2024, for ThoughtCo-dot-com, discusses the film The Englishman that went up a hill and down a mountain, from 1995 and with actor Hugh Grant.

That film features cartographers identifying as a hill what Welsh villages identify as a mountain.

Might you have seen the aforementioned film?

Movie Review: Orange County (2002)

The library system here does not have Orange county among its collection.

The film nevertheless is interesting, from your grade and your summary.

Might the film be so called because of the biogeographical location of Stanford Universisty?

Of course!

Religion and the Mountains

Possibly. It is also worth noting that many languages do not distinguish between hills and mountains.

Common Ringtail Possum (Pseudocheirus peregrinus) of Australia's Eastern Coasts and Islands

Wild sentients such as bears eat healthily and sensibly such nutritious drinks and eats as water and berries, fruits, honey, nuts and salmon.

Common ringtail possums likewise eat healthily and sensibly such nutritious drinks as nectars of bottlebrush (Callistemon spp, Grevillea spp), eucalyptus and gum (Angophora spp, Corymbia spp, Eucalyptus spp), oleander and wattle (Acacia spp), she-oak (Allocasuarina spp) and tea (Leptospermum spp) trees.

Mightn't it be celebratory of common ringtail possums and their environmentally-friendly, sustainable lifestyle to muster a meal of sweet drinks from bottlebrush nectar and of tempting teas from oleander and tea-tree teas?

Religion and the Mountains

Thank you for your comment below, in answer to my previous observation and question.

The fourth paragraph to the first subheading, Mountains and worship, advises us that "in a hilly place such as Palestine hills are hard to avoid. So it is reasonable to judge that Jesus gave a sermon from a hillside."

The previous paragraph considers that "No account of worship on hills and mountains in the Holy Land could fail to mention high places, which were hill top shrines used for sacrifices and feasts. These ancient sites were local places of worship, but they fell into disfavour when King David centralised sacrifice in Jerusalem and dwindled until the exile, when rabbinic Judaism which worshipped in synagogues replaced the remaining few of them."

Might Jesus Christ have merged the ancient and the contemporary by moving respectively around high places but high places -- such as hills ;-D -- never so high as ancient musterings around, in, on mountains?

Movie Review: Enchanted (2007)

That Sarandon donned the evil-queen role and that Menzel did not impresses me.

Sarandon fits so well into good-girl roles even as Wicked successes perhaps favor typecasting Menzel toward the evil-queen role here.

The library system has the film so a movie with an upbeat ending and with unexpected casting nicely hail in the new year, right?

The Coledale Inn, Braithwaite, Cumbria, England

The positioning of the borders had been fluid for centuries. Wales And Scotland. In fact parts of Cheshire were once Wales.

I don t know when the borders became static. Frank, fav, beloved, big bro. over to you there.

Understanding Depression

A watery context can correlate with exercise and with relaxation.

For example, water functions as exercise when in a swimming context even as it functions as relaxation when in a bath or hot-tub context.

Might such a context matter against depression?
