A ways back I posted on a couple who were in the beginning stages of a 1000 day journey at sea. I'm not sure what sounds more imposing to teh average non sailor, 3 years or 1000 days, they both sound pretty hectic.

I haven't followed up on these adventerous souls as of late and was pleases to find that they have a blog here on blogspot as well Unfortunetly it appears they have switched all activity from the blog to the http://1000days.net/home/

The Reins

On the flipside, many of the workers left milling about were really only here to have something to do. With the cold thunderfront comin up and the threat of a large rainstorm. No one was quite ready to give up on the day and head back into town. All eyes were on the widow monty as she left the saftey of her cool classic 1930's rambler.

Ancient Stone Tablet found

Bearing the words "Mæktir haluar" an ancient stone tablet was unearthed in Norway recently. It's currently on dispay at the Stavanger's Archeological Museum. Incredible as it may seem this stone could actually date back somewhere in the 11th century. Quite a ways removed from todays Email and digital data driven world.

I guess I'm old

Universal Studios is closing the Back to the Future ride. I can't tell you what it looks like, its been 15 years since I've seen it, maybe longer. All I know is that whatever they replace it with won't come close to recreating the awesomeness that is Back to the Future.

Spiny Lobster Season

October is right around the corner and I'm already thinking about having some tasty shellfish bbq'ed on a nice chill winter night. I don't claim to be a fisherman, luckily all you need for these guys is a nice spot on Most piers in Orange county and a hoop net.

The Bottle Tree man

At dawn the sun hits the bottles just right, they gleam like the worlds brightest eyes. The gentle breeze sets a peaceful mood with the tinkering of objects old and new. This isn't a mantra, it's being outside the Bottle tree ranch on a nice winter morning. Or a warm summer evening

Etched in History

Today, we have cameras, DVD's CD's and many more ways of storing information that will otherwise have been lost. thousands of years ago and even hundreds of years ago that was not so true. A nice flat rock and a well made chisel could be the difference between 50 years and millions of years of historical signifacance.

Left behind by ancient civilization are millions of lost pieces of art, once canvonly imagine what we have not seen or unearthed yet. Romans have drawn the most attention in this area as they were thr premier society with the tools and the know how back then. I am by no means a historian, just a blogger who blogs for the enjoyment of the subject at hand.

The city of Volubilis was unearthed in 1915 archeologist began extensive work and revealed picture perfect art in the form of beautioful mosiacs hidden from human eyes for what seemed like an eternity. Even after Rome lost her grip on the world they still would not abandon this rich grain bearing city. Today very little remains as you can see. But one day I will visit this place on my extensive tour of rome I have been planning.
