Global Warming . . . Drink up

In Alaska we hear quite a lot about Global Warming and its possible effects in various locations throughout rural Alaska. There have been several movies and documentaries about what might come one day so I started thinking about this for a moment.

I sat down with my drink and considered the possibilities for a time . . .

My approach to this blog has always been to look at things from a slightly different perspective and this world issue certainly calls for everyone to give this problem some serious thought . . . sips on my drink again as I settle the glass back on the table . . . and it occurred to me . . .

This little idea is for everyone who is worried and frightened we will all drown when the polar ice cap melts due to ‘Global Warming’. I suggest you try this little experiment yourself to ease your worries.

Remember my drink . . .

Go and get yourself a tall glass and place three or four ice cubes into it.

Slowly add water until the cubes are floating freely in the glass.

Mark the water level on the glass and sit back and observe.

When the ice melts check the water level in the glass now in relation to your previous mark.

Now comes the fun part . . . dump the water out of the glass and replace it with your favorite beverage . . . mine happens to be . . . oh never mind, but just fill it with what you enjoy and sit back enjoy that feeling of relief now that you know we are not doomed after all.

It may just be an ‘inconvenient truth’ after all . . . but as you see it for what it is . . . we can all sleep at night and seriously figure out ways to reduce our impact to the environment and to each other.

Drink up and have a nice day.

Morrison Springs - Ponce de Leon, Florida

Morrison Springs Ponce de Leon, Florida County road 181 Morrison Springs was one of our favorite dive spots on many of our Florida trips but it also had the most danger to it.  One of Northwest Florida’s best-kept secrets was known to more Georgia and Alabama folks than Floridians.  And they weren’t talking.  It had to do with the jewel of a Panhandle spring, a turquoise pool surrounded by stately cypress trees whose aerial roots stand taller than a man. Below the surface, clear, 68-degree water wells up from a spring cave source over 90 feet deep. Morrison Springs is just far enough off the beaten path in this sunny pine and cypress country to be special for any diver lucky enough to find and dive the site. The shallow pool reflects the overhead blue sky and if the water is clear and the bottom clean of silt, it resembles a giant sapphire.  Unlike some springs with a deep, black hole source, this one takes visitors gradually into its shallows from a gol...

Are Showing Your Nipples Appropriate Work Attire?

Let me first say that personally, I have no problem with it at all. This has been kind of a weird week here in the north land with the first of many winter snowfalls’s to come and the landscape once again beautifully covered in the white stuff. It looks like the kids will have to put their Halloween costume on over a snowsuit again this year as the cold snowy stuff is here again. That is not what I wanted to write about tonight but was necessary to set up what I did want to write about. “Frosty nipples” are quite common here during most of the year and when things cool down on the cusp of winter probably more so. Work attire with tight shirts or low cut blouses that ‘make a statement’ during colder weather could be taken several ways by co-workers or visitors to your place of business. While you may not always be taken seriously by others in the office and some may have trouble looking you in the face, I say it's a freedom of rights issue. If you want to show o...

Biscuits and Whores

Some of the best things about life I learned from Lonesome Dove. Great movie, excellent characters, and tells a story about how to live life. Augustus McCrae “It ain’t dying I’m talking about, it’s living.   I doubt it matters where you die, but it matters where you live.” I'm just tryin' to keep everything in balance, Woodrow. You do more work than you got to, so it's my obligation to do less. “Yesterday’s gone and we can’t get it back.” “I'm sure partial to the evening,' Augustus said. 'The evening and the morning.   If we just didn't have to have the rest of the dern day I'd be a lot happier.” Hat Creek Cattle Company Well we don't rent pigs and I figure it's better to say it right out front because a man that does like to rent pigs is . . . he's hard to stop. Biscuits “I never knew you to get excited about anything except biscuits maybe . . . and whores!”    Captain Woodrow Call to Augustus McCrae in Lonesome Dove. Whores L...
