 Graffiti says "Wish You Were Here" 

My Question is... Am I Not Already Here Now?

 The Mad River was Named because of an 
Argument that Occurred Here.

Pioneers had a Disagreement as to 
Travel North or South when they

got to The Mouth of the Mad...

So, they had a Fistfight and 
half walked North and Half walked South.

 The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

'Ah! Well a-day! What evil looks
Had I from old and young!
Instead of the cross, the albatross
About my neck was hung.'

'Selfie' of Me Wading in the Pacific Ocean.

Of the 7 Billion People on Earth. I Could Not Find

Anyone to Hold The Camera, so I took a 'Selfie'.

There was One Dreadlocked Man doing

Tai- Chi and There was another person Walking a dog.

I did not want to annoy them.

I Did Pet the Dog.

(Concept by B.D. of Merryland)

Water, water, every where,

And all the boards did shrink;

Water, water, every where,

Nor any drop to drink.

One of the most tragic consequences of the Iraq war is the astounding quantity of Depleted Uranium the USA has left there.

This is a TOXIC metal that is used to make bullet shells. It vaporizes when a round is fired and burns a hole in the object that it hits. This metal has been shown to cause abnormal increases in miscarriages for the wives of soldiers and Iraqis. It has a half life of about 4 billion years so that the country will be polluted until the END OF TIME. The reason the USA uses this metal is two-fold. It works great as a weapon because of it's armor piercing quality AND it is a by-product of the Nuclear power plant industry. Manufacturers can get this metal very cheap because the power plants are happy to get rid of their toxic waste. The town of Concord Mass. is a SUPERFUND CLEANUP SITE due to the factory that made shells... Now THAT'S a shot heard 'round the world...

Ahh... the evil of the Bush... and his nuclear waste disposal solution...

Campus Center for Appropriate Technology at Humboldt State University: CCAT is a completely student run organization that seeks to educate people on sustainable living practices through their demonstration at the Buck house on HSU's campus. The house has a 2.4 kW grid-intertie PV system, 2-flat plat solar hot water collectors, a wind turbine, solar greenhouse, thermal curtains, and energy efficient appliances. The house is so energy efficient that the PV system produces much more electricity than the house requires on an annual basis. CCAT feeds this excess renewable energy back into the grid to be used elsewhere on the HSU campus. Students use CCAT to understand how many of the energy technologies discussed in class can be applied.

"The Last Guy" a story by Greg Vanderlaan.
Bill Gates was sitting at a table and invited some men to join him.

Bill said: "Carlos Helu, I would like to introduce you to Amancio Ortega."
Carlos said: "Who is Amancio?"
BANG!
Amancio said: "I used to be the third richest man in the world but now I'm number Two."
BANG! BANG!
Warren Buffet said: "Now I'm the richest man in the World!"

BANG, BANG, BANG, RAT-A-TAT-TAT, WHOOSH-KA-BOOM, BANG, KA-BLOEY, ZING, BANG, WHOOSH, TING, BANG, BANG... Bang Bang Bang... BANG, BANG, BANG, RAT-A-TAT-TAT, WHOOSH-KA-BOOM, BANG, KA-BLOEY, ZING, BANG, WHOOSH, TING, BANG, BANG... Bang Bang Bang... BANG, BANG, BANG, RAT-A-TAT-TAT, WHOOSH-KA-BOOM, BANG, KA-BLOEY, ZING, BANG, WHOOSH, TING, BANG, BANG... Bang Bang Bang...

and then the LAST GUY said: "I used to be the Poorest Man in the Entire World but NOW I'm the Richest! I'm the poorest as well but I'm The Richest Man in the Entire World! Uh, I don't feel too good... "

THUMP. (and he fell right over, starvation will do that to you...)
