Obama lights "Beacons to prosperity"

Wonderful Wednesday

What have the two old Crows been up to?

Wow,
A tree Rose, two Azalea's, two Crepe Myrtles, and three full sun Hosta's .
We are one short for uniformity.

These are our Bushes in our "Obama" garden.
Why Obama, you ask?
"The Stimulus Check" I answer Tee Hee

Ain't life Wonderful?

Monday Moans

Over weight and out of shape, my moderate back strain
decided to go into spasm.
Not fun.
I was just stringing strings on the tomato trellaces,
When Wham!

Serpentine Saturday

Grandpa's Hill side Hydraulic Engineering and
Grandma's Horticultural skills .
"The Two Old Crows" at work

Corny Corn Rows above
Tantalizing Tomato's below
$11.50 investment per plant ;-)

We do it just to prove to ourselves that we can.
And the exercise contributes more to well being than the produce.

Flashback Friday

Throughly Thursday

In Utah we had Alkaline Soil
So I made an Acid machine to amend the soil.


This

Plus This

Equals THIS
The First CLUSTER of Tomatoes
I have ever seen on the vine.

Now in Maryland we have Acid Soil, a totally different problem.
The exact opposite problem.

No clusters here in MD

Wonderment Wednesday

Henrietta and Hank Heron

The "Yard Birds"
In their Ninja outfits

I can't tell if they are confronting each other or the yellow snake?

Here they are in Natural Dress

This is Pedro the Pelican
His beak can hold more than his bellycan
He holds in his beak, enough for a week
I wonder how the hellhecan

Blackie "The Widower"

Pedro and Blackie attacking the green snake.

Teriffic Tuesday (flashback)

Guess Who?

Guess When?

A long, long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away----

In Cal-i-for-n-i-a---

Mythilogical Monday

The Goblin Shark

as seen on discovery Science

Found in the Japan oceanic canyon.

Remaining unchanged for 100,000,000 years

And I thought the writers of the Movie "Alien" had a vivid imagination.

Here it is with it's jaws jutting out, biting a divers arm.

It's just a small shark so the diver was unharmed.

That's enough to scare it's prey to death!!!!

Consider This by Grandpa Sid Young

Illustrations such as the one above tend to make us believe that earths breathable atmosphere is unlimited. Let me remind you that climbers of mount Everest need oxygen before they reach the summit which is a little over 29,000 feet above sea level, a little over 5 1/2 miles. The earth has a diameter of 8,000 miles. If the earth were scaled down to 8 inches each one thousandth of an inch would represent 1 mile. On this scaled down version of the earth the "breathable" atmosphere would be represented by 5 and 1/2 thousandths of one inch. Roughly twice the diameter of a human hair. Think of one strand of hair laying on a bald man's head. The breathable atmosphere would be that thick on an earth scaled to that size.

On the above illustration the reaches of the mesosphere would be exaggerated by the first thin halo surrounding the earth. The breathable atmosphere couldn't even be illustrated.
Try to imagine the slight halo around the earth in the illustration below and you will have a more realistic example of the expanse of our breathable atmosphere.

Our entire breathable atmosphere is aspirated by the human population (at rest) and their automobiles in about a year and one half. That is not even taking into account all the animals, insects, birds, train locomotives and airplanes. The jet engines on the commercial airliners are the most voracious consumers of oxygen imaginable exceeded only by forest fires. (example, one human at rest aspirates 43,200 liters of air in twenty four hours). (A 4 liter car aspirates 5,760,000 liters or air in one hour or 23,040,000 liters in four hours) (every liter aspirated is a liter polluted, 0xygen to Carbon dioxide)

Ninety percent of our universe is Hydrogen. Water is roughly fifty percent Hydrogen, the other half is oxygen. When water is split by electrolysis hydrogen and oxygen gas are formed. When combined the result is Hydroxy gas.

If only our automobiles could be powered by Hydroxy gas that is produced "on board" and "on demand" with water as the fuel, it would be a quantum turn away from the carbon polluter that the automobiles are, (carbon monoxide) to a "non carbon" polluter of our atmosphere. Because, when Hydroxy gas is burned it produces only energy and water. Basically PURE WATER!
The Sid-Cell is the vanguard to a clean atmosphere, planet saving technology.

See the atmospheric halo on the horizon in the actual NASA photo of earth below. Fragile isn't it?

WOW WAS I SHOCKED AND EXCITED!!!!!

My Brother Joe has been building a new website for me using SBI with all the best bells and whistles. He is doing a REALLY GREAT JOB. I was tinkering with the gadgets on my Windows Vista Desktop and was shocked at what popped up. This picture below shows the gadget selector popped up. RSS feed headlines.

Below is a closeup of the selection window itself

This is just TOO COOL

THE POP UP SAYS "BUY A SID-CELL AND GET MORE MILES PER GALLON"

I EMAILED HIM AND SAID:
"You need to title these feeds with"
"DEVICE WITH EARTH SAVING POTENTIAL"
"Buy a Sid-Cell and get more miles per gallon"
"And clean the air at the same time"
