It's been cool here in Florida. Actually cold to me, but seeing all the pictures of snow on here from up north I won't complain. The more rockets they shoot up it seems the more we get lousy weather. Now Besos & Musk are in a pissing match for sending up their rockets. Elon had one fail over the Caribbean yesterday & it was a sight. He just kind of blew it off but the Islanders were not impressed. Things are blooming here but next week is supposed to be cold. My mango trees are loaded with blooms almost in flower. I hope they don't freeze.

We were watching it live, the rocket not the giraffe, then suddenly the feed was cut. Later saw it blew up.
You'd think there was bad stuff raining down with the debris wouldn't you!?

I like me some mangoes
 

Great place! A bit nippy in the winter though....

Crater Lake National Park (U.S. National Park Service)

Crater Lake inspires awe. Native Americans witnessed its formation 7,700 years ago, when a violent eruption triggered the collapse of a tall peak. Scientists marvel at its purity—fed by rain and snow, it’s the deepest lake in the USA and one of the most pristine on Earth. Artists, photographers...

A couple more were lost in the last few days. My dad taught me about these ****ers when I was a kid beach combing, we found a LOT of big Japanese glass floats.

Pay attention! I'm talkin' to you... terrorists...I mean tourists... :laughing7: :laughing7:

sneaker waves.jpg



Offshore storms: Storms create wind energy that transfers to the ocean surface.
Long periods between swells: When there's a long period between swells, the waves can build up more force.
Infragravity waves: Longer waves called "infragravity" waves are created by the energy of the surface gravity waves.
Where they occur
Sneaker waves are more common along the Pacific coast.
They are more likely to occur during the winter.
How they are dangerous
Sneaker waves can sweep people off their feet or pin them against rocks and dunes.
They can break over rocks and lift logs or driftwood onto the beach.
The combination of waves and cool water temperatures can make hypothermia a risk.
How to stay safe
Watch the waves from a lookout before going to the beach.
Count the seconds between each wave breaking.
Avoid areas where you could be trapped by rushing water.
Don't turn your back on the ocean.
Have an exit plan to get to higher ground in 15 to 30 seconds.

Yeah same here rock fishing. Watch the waves for a while and count them between the bigger ones and a pattern shows, you'd get so much time fishing counting the waves then get back for the bigger one to roll in, then repeat. Every second week here on the news is someone washed off a rock fishing, them clueless to wave counting. Unfortunately 50% end up dead.
They never wear PFDs. Stupid, you can get bum bag ones now that don't get in your way.

I stay up high enough and use heavy line... I want to catch the fish, not play with it! Most of the time we use a boat!
 

I saw the random thread and thought I would ask , I been studying plant medicine for about 7 years now , always been interested in the potential these plants hold .. last year I developed 2 cavities/infection which led me thru a week of hell not being able to chew on either side of my mouth ,after using several over the counter meds that merely numbed the gum lining , I reflected on my research into plant medicine on what could possibly bring the pain to an end and recalled one plant in particular , 15 mins after applying an extract the pain was gone . Worked better than any over the counter meds as this plant eliminates the pain completely , also eliminates gum sensitivity, hardens teeth and gets rid of the tooth infection . I lack the land to cultivate this plant on a large scale. I don't really know which way to go with this discovery . This plant is not known for tooth ache pain elimination and is not really cultivated on a large scale .. I feel like I have metaphorically found one of the tayopa mines ,and cannot extract its wealth . I've reached out to venture capitalist companies with no response .... what would you recommend I do . I have estimated 60k-100k per acre under proper growing conditions .
