That I have always lived on the edge and I wanted a place with a view. Somewhere that I could drop off the face of the Earth. Here are some other locations that were suggested. I think I was taken a bit too literally.
We've had some breezes the past few days, which has cleared the air considerably. Not totally clean but a hell of a lot better. Looking for temps back in the 100's early next week.
The Republicans are working to find something to do with Bush at this year's convention. Just what is the big question.
Italy has placed the ancient city of Pompeii under a STATE OF EMERGENCY. Considering that it was destroyed in 79ce, thats pretty rapid response, wouldn't you say? Interesting video on that link.
The National Park Servicemay reopen access to the Statue of Liberty's Crown. Its been closed to public access since 9/11. I remember when you could go up the torch arm.
The planet Mercury is shrinking. Now that Pluto has been reclassified as a "Plutoid", Mercury has become the smallest planet in the solar system.
Unless you want to look like a piece of worn out shoe leather, it is time to start using sunscreen. Nothing less than spf-30 and make sure it has coverage of uvA and uvB rays. Remember, the Sun is NOT your friend.
Talk about being a day late and a dollar short:
Well, I have spent my first Fourth Of July back on the mainland. Talk about peaceful. Oh, there were the illegal pyrotechnic displays in this fireprone bone dry state. But nothing to compare with what was normal for Mau'i. A light whiff of cordite waifing through the evening's breeze. Not choking. Not thick enough to impair vision. And no attacks on my cab by teen terrorists sporting bottle rockets and roman candles. I also did not see any of the neighbors discharging the legal "safe & sane" available in California.
Never once had the feeling of being in a combat zone. The sound never loud enough to drown out the tv's audio. A peaceful night.
I hope everyone is enjoying their 3 day weekend. I'll be back later with more. Hope you can come back by.
