USS Grunion - August 24th, 2007
Now this is a great story, and we need more of this type of stuff in the news.
Seems that the team led by John and Frank Abele have located the USS Grunion which disappeared in July of 1942. Their father Mannert L Abele was the commander of this sub.
They have a website and blog documenting [...]
Movies On The Internet - August 24th, 2007
Since the temperature outside is holding around 100 during the day, I think tomorrow I will research the best way to watch movies on the Internet. I have seen a lot of information for free movies on the Internet and I just wonder how many of those are legal and easily accessible?
I spend more time [...]
Baby Boomers - August 23rd, 2007
I never gave much thought to the fact that I am at the tail end of the Baby Boomer generation until recently when every search I do for my own personal use seems to return some match that begins or ends with Baby Boomers.
Stuff like eyesight. I started researching my failing eyesight. I have to [...]
Internet search is like nothing else - August 22nd, 2007
Ya gotta love it. Digging around on the Internet is like nothing else we have ever seen before. You can find anything if you look hard enough.

Flooding and Heat Wave - August 20th, 2007
The weather patterns in the south are very strange right now. Oklahoma and Texas are flooding, and just a mere 300 or so miles to the east we are in a dry spell and heat wave in Mississippi.
Although Hurricane Dean is headed to Mexico, it could still spell disaster for Texas and Oklahoma. I lived [...]
Hurricane Dean - August 17th, 2007
It looks like Hurricane Season as jumped into full gear after a very quiet summer. After living through the nightmare they called Hurricane Katrina, I would never wish for Hurricane Dean to hit the U.S. but we could certainly use some of the rain to cool off the south.
I have lived in Mississippi for 10 [...]
89th PGA Championship - August 11th, 2007
It has gotten to the point with Tiger Woods that if you are a Pro Golfer, and you wake up on a Saturday morning and see his name at the top of the leaderboard, you have to know it is up to him. You could shoot your best score ever, set records, but if Tiger [...]
Recent Earthquakes - August 9th, 2007
This morning another earthquake hit California. There is no doubt that there is more seismic activity recently. Looking at the map on the USGS website indicates a lot of earthquakes are happening. This will certainly give new cause to people like Al Gore to jump up and down and blame it on everyone for not [...]
Brooklyn Tornado - August 8th, 2007
As odd as that sounds, there are reports that a Tornado in Brooklyn New York caused damage to homes and flooding to subway stations.
The National Weather Service is sending a team to investigate and see if they can tell if it was in fact a Tornado, or some other type storm that swept through the [...]
