So, 15 days ago, I ordered a motorized chair for my wife from Amazon. It was supposed to get here in 3 days. So, after 5 days, I started tracking it. It started off in Tennessee. Then it went to California. Keep in mind I live on the eastern end of Long Island, so California is kind of the...
Weird day. After I found that sea lion, I rescued this very large horseshoe crab that got stranded up side down on the beach. Then while driving to the dentist I ran over this yellow bird. He didn't go under the tires, just under the car. I made a U Turn, picked her up and carried her to the...
Interesting beach walk this morning. I came across this dead sea lion. It seems to be about a thousand pounds. I think it had ich
Also three jetties that I have never seen before even though I walk there every morning
And these Alien Artifacts
Today is Memorial Day. I know we are all going to bar be cue and be with friends, but lets remember why we can do those things and remember our fallen brothers.
I teach my Grand Kids and I hope some of it sinks in.
My morning was spent with my deceased Brothers at Calverton National Cemetary which is the largest Veteran Cemetary in the US. There are over 275,000 Veterans buried there.
I'm the good looking one on the right.
Thank God for the Boy Scouts who placed many of the flags. Next week I will go...
Today barring any unforeseeable problems, I am going to Calverton National Cemetary to place American Flags on the graves of Veterans.
I have been doing this for a number of years now and find it gratifying.
This was last year with a Veteran Friend of mine.
This morning about 6:00 I went for my walk. It was pouring rain which I kind of like and find interesting. Of course I didn't see anyone because most people are afraid of the rain for some reason. But it is no problem for Real Men. :biggrin:
This is not today because it was raining too...
Yesterday I ordered my wife an electric mobility chair. Hopefully it will be easier for her when we visit our Grand Kids in Manhattan or take a trip somewhere.
I went to my shoulder surgeon today. I have a guest pass and my own seat there being I was there so many times. They stamp my hand when I go.
He took an X Ray and all the nonsense so they can bill my insurance company. I didn't have a cookie because that would bring up the price.
The X Ray...
This weekend we went to our daughter's house because our 12-year-old Grand Daughter was in a play.
This is the view from my Daughters house
(I hate Manhattan) Anyway, this is my granddaughter getting her makeup on for the play. She thinks she is one of the Rockettes.
Here she is in the...
First off, Happy Mothers day.
On my morning beach walk at low tide I came across this double hook set up with fresh sand worms already baited and a 3 ounce sinker.
I brought it home and threw it in my tank as my fish haven't seen a fresh salt water sand worm in years so they will have a really...
We have a new Pope but there was a Cardinal named Cardinal Acola, who kept getting passed over for the Pope position so he asked the head Cardinals what they thought the problem was.
The Head Cardinal said to him. My Son, how would it look if we had a Pope named after a soft drink? Pope Acola...
Next week I have an appointment with a shoulder surgeon. He replaced my left shoulder but now my right shoulder is jealous so I'm pretty sure I will have to get the right one replaced. I lost count but I think this will be my 38th surgery.
If you get to my age and didn't break or tear most of...
It rained last night so on my early morning walk I went armed with a plastic bag and tweezer. I picked up about a dozen earthworms.
The tweezer just makes it easier to pick them up on the wet street. I slip one side of the tweezer under the worm and lift. No, I don't skeve worms and have no...
Nice beach walk this morning. It was a dead, moon low tide. But no amphipods. It may be a little early in the season but those dead low tides only happen maybe twice a summer at the time I walk the beach, so I hope the amphipods return soon.
They may be a little to cold or worrying about...
Unfortunately, my wife fell again, but this time she was able to get up on her own as she didn't go all the way down. She hit her eye on the vanity and now looks like someone beat her up as it is all black and blue. It never ends.
I don't have a lot of time to "play" with my tank but I just...
I think I posted this 10 years ago. But it could have been this morning. :rolleyes:
Fish are Smarter than We Are
Why do I say that fish are smarter than us? Well, think about it, we as 2 legged beings can go forward, backward, and from side to side. Fish can do that too, but they can also...
