SOME LOOSE IDEAS
We sometimes find ideas on the beach. They tend to drift up, or people leave them behind, and then they get washed back and forth in the waves.
This page is a loosely organised collection of ideas and links. Some of the ideas and links will be less fresh than others, but there is always something special about finding treasure in beach drift.
If you find nothing this time, try again after a another tide has passed. Also try looking around the crevices in the main menu at left
