save the sharks
Watched a great documentary this weekend called Sharkwater. It is the story of sharks and how their populations are being decimated across the oceans due to demand for shark fins – some species have declined up to 90% in the past years.

foggy day schedules
When I was growing up as a little country bumpkin, the days that we loved so much were when we had “foggy day schedules”. This essentially meant that a blanket of fog so thick that it was a veritable pea soup would cover the country floors and render it very dangerous for the driver of […]
