A place for my stuff.
It sure has been a while! Maybe I can actually spend some time on this thing with the weather changing.
This time of year, the porch starts to get little cold so, I guess it's the view from the famly room. Or the view of the greenhouse.
In my previous post I spoke of our trip to Italy. Here is a picture of us in Tuscany.
What a wondeful time we had.
It has been sometime since I posted. Life seems to get in the way.
Mother (The Misses) and I leave for Italia on Wednesday!! We can hardly wait. We are staying the first night in Roma, then it is off to Firenze for 4 nights. Our last day and night will be in Ostia, a close friend reccomended a B&B that is in a medevil building. We have booked a room there . It sounds grand. The B&B is called Rodrigo De Vivar. While in Firenze we will be staying one block from the Piazza della Signoria at a little B&B called Agli Uffizi Bed & Breakfast.
I will be posting while we are in Italy. Will try to put some pics in also.
Ever since I was a kid, I have been fascinated with geology, oceanography and vulcanology. I still read books, watch TV programs and visit web sites devoted to the subjects. This morning, I read an article on an NOAA/Oregon State expedition to the Mariana Arc in the South Pacific. The Mariana Arc is home to the deepest known spots and in the world. The expedition has a wonderful website with a lot of great media. The site is 2004 Submarine Ring of Fire exploration.
It is a bit bandwidth rich, but there are low res versions of most of the videos. This site is wonderful!! I am sure I will be spending some time here.
Let me know what you think.
Stay warm in this damned fog

A great site devoted to the study of high-rise buildings. History, theory, technology. It is all looked at. Be sure to check out VIVA!!
