The tree above is huge, gnarled and ancient. If you look at its base, you’ll see where it grew over a brick wall, which runs right through the trunk. I’d like to know how long it’s been there and I’d love to know the story behind the brick wall.
There was thunder and lighting this morning. But it was all to the south, in town. George Town gets flooded and not a drop here in West Bay..
Have a good day!
Not much to post about here. Below are half a dozen photos I find amusing.
Have a wonderful day!
Wednesday, the wife has been gone for a week. Last Monday was her last night here. It has been very rough on me.
Yesterday at lunchtime, I swam the half mile for the second time in a year. It was tough, but I’ll probably do it again today.
We had a little rain this morning. A sprinkling. The other day, we had barely a sprinkle while the whole rest of the island got flooding, decent rain. We need a good flooding here in West Bay (center of the universe).
And they’ll about do it for today. Have a good day!
On my calendar, I have today at 12:22 as the equinox, one of the two days a year the sun is perfectly, directly overhead. But, upon rr-xjecking my calculations, I discovered it was yesterday. Not that there’s THAT much difference, but I like to be outside when it happens. I will be out there today, looking down a hole from a fence pole.
A light pole would have no shadow. Sunlight would shine all the way to the bottom of a well.
It only happens between the earths tropics.
Yesterday was was holiday, today is seems like Monday, except I’m looking forward to getting to work. Grinding my nose on the grindstone.
Have a great week!
A man who has been living alone on an Italian Island for the past 32 years is leaving, partly because he wants to and partly because he has to. Read the BBC article HERE. He was living on the island of Budelli, which if you look at a map, is probably an easy rowboat ride or maybe even swimming distance from habitated islands.
This article makes me wonder if I’m the kinda person who could live alone on an island for years and years. I think yes!
Happy Tuesday!
The dried mango pictured above is too good. Very addictive. Yesterday I ate too much. This morning I’m not feeling too well. I probably ate the equivalent of 2 or 3 mangos. Not too bad, really, but apparently enough to disturb my digestive system.
I’ll be fine. Then I’ll do it again!
It was a quiet weekend. Did homework for my ILM Class mostly. Went to a meditation class too, I was not particularly impressed.
One year yesterday, no cigars.
And now, another Monday. Begin.
It was a good weekend, like usual. Saturday I read and got some sun, Sunday we went out on a One Dog At A Time fundraiser boat trip. It was really nice.
Below are random pix I liked and saved.
In reference to the last pic, the news said that the Ever Given is 80% free now, thanks to dredging and a “fleet of tugboats”. Hopefully thatsa problem cleared up soon.
Have a good week!
I swore I’d never do it again. I hated it when I did it first time. I called it the worst experience of my life. I likened it to going to school with a bully there picking on me constantly.
The training course that would never end still lives.
ILM Level 3, starts today through work.
Wish me luck. After all my bitchin’ on level 2, I ended up doing quit well,near the top of my class. Now I know (maybe) what to expect, maybe it won’t be so bad.
Wish me luck!
It’s the first of March? Really? Already? Doesn’t seem possible. WHen this year started, I didn’t have a problem switching from 2020 to 2021, but I did have a problem switching from December to January, which surprised me.
It’s a Monday-back-to-work after a quiet weekend. I stayed home all weekend with my wife. I almost went diving yesterday, but I was getting ready to get ready to go and they moved the dive site to another location, further away and I couldn’t have made it without being late, so I didn’t go.
I’m gaining weight again, I was 199, went on my “no sugar no bread” diet and went down to about 170, this morning I was 188. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I like to be 175.
Have a good Monday, a great week and a Fantastic month of March!
God should just kill us all now. We’re not worthy of this planet.
I just read an article that alarms me greatly and quite literally, makes me sick.
In hindsight, I should have known we were doing it. And of course, it’s worse than I can imagine. And you know the humans are doing it on purpose, because it’s the easy way and they can get away with it.
I’m talking about humans dumping garbage at sea. Humans allowing litter to enter waterways, lakes and oceans.
Look at the video below, look at all the plastic bottles. (in the video, there’s a date in the upper left, so I’m not sure this is really 10 years after the tsunami, or even that is is garbage from the tsunami, but it’s disgusting anyway)
Nowhere is exempt
Imagine underwater garbage dumps with a garbage density greater than that of a landfill.
Like so many things, by the time you hear about it, it’s already pretty much too late. I think plastic is the worst. Here, the only beach litter you find is plastic, pretty much. I’ve avoided generating plastic waste for years, it’s literally impossible, all we can do is the best we can, but too many of us don’t seem to try at all or even care.
