Daily Create Prompt: #DS106 #tdc4058 #clmooc #dailycreate Maps from @TerribleMaps
Terrible Maps retweeted this fun and interesting map of the regional differences in giraffe patterns.
I found the map here: VividMaps, which found me thinking about facts on giraffes, which you may find interesting:

My Response— on Spots !
Those spots reminded me of one of my favorite quotes, for which I found the source:
Friendship is almost always the union of a part of one mind with the part of another; people are friends in spots.
Soliloquies in England and later soliloquies
by Santayana, George, 1863-1952
Publication date 1922
Publisher New York, C. Scribner’s Sons
page 55
We are all different, and we are friends with the differences that bring us together– passions, interests, debate, understanding. We are social creatures and we enjoy the bits — the little spots– of one another’s personality and thoughts. We engage one another to learn more and to, hopefully, better the world.
And so, my response…. is the image above and it’s invitation:
The road to friendship happens in spots.
As George Santayana says…

I wonder, if I draw a line...
