UFO's, Zen, and wrinkle free skin... I'm writing this article, if you can call it that, sitting in a cave while the rain

lashes down on the most incredible beach I've ever seen....

We're "weekending" at the quaintly named "Town of 1770" on Australia's Queensland coast. 1770, which is down 25 miles of dirt track from the nearest highway, is an "alternate lifestylers" heaven.

At the Sunday market, a man promoting a UFO Spotters party sold my daughter a small tube of mineral rich clay for $15. His sales pitch managed to include diamonds, gold, UFO's, Zen, magic, and wrinkle free skin. It would go down a treat on the Internet and I'm thinking of buying it in bulk to resell.

If you're into that kind of thing let me know, and perhaps we could joint venture, or I could put you in touch with him.

But the best thing the UFO promoter told us was the directions to this "secret" beach 5 miles south of the town. If you've seen The Beach with Leonardo Di Caprio you'll be able to picture it. We didn't have to jump off a waterfall to get to it, but we did have to climb the last 30 feet of cliff to reach it. A storm lashed the beach not long after we reached it, and we retreated into a cave. Listening to the seismic booming of the waves slamming onto the beach, I pulled out my notebook and started writing some words of wisdom for today's issue.

I think I said some good stuff. Mainly inspired by the UFO Spotters clay sales pitch, I wrote about unexpected opportunities for your web business, and seizing the moment whenever it may come.

Unfortunately we had to wade through the edge of the ocean and a breaking wave wiped out the writing in my notebook ....such is life.

I'm sure that, if the words had remained readable, we'd all
have made a fortune.
