So what do you think about the new fresh look that I gave the blog? I am experimenting with the background right now so you might see all sorts of things pop up. I have noticed that my readership has now increased over the last few weeks. I have no clue why.
A cousin reads my blog and asked me why I didn't have my own domain name and hosting. I told her that blogger is free and that's my price. Why would I need to buy a domain name at Go Daddy or host gator?
I am quite happy to blog here for free and play with the design.

The surf can be loud
I was visiting a friend at their ocean front condo just before a storm came onshore. We were watching a movie and had the french doors slightly open when it started to rain. The speakers home theater system were getting drowned out by the sound of wind and the crashing waves.
Waves when pushed by winds can get quite large and noisy. As the storm slowly came ashore, we shut the doors and watched the ocean churn and the rain come down sideways. We rarely get lightning storms on the coast but we were treated to a brief show of thunder bolts that appeared offshore.
Hideous jewelry
The photo above is of a real seahorse that has been preserved and gold plated and is sold on the open market. To me it is hideous, why? Because you know darn well that the seahorse did not die of natural causes but was "harvested" for the jewelry market. I first saw one of these on a online Key West jewelry store.
In one of my very old books on seahorses, there is a section on preserving your pet seahorse once it has died so you can decorate your home or person with it. That is the same as skinning your dead cat and wearing the poor animal's skin as a hat.
I say leave the seahorses alone.
