WELCOME ABOARD

NOTICE: (1) Our new post for Sunday is a picture and link to a story about the discover of what is probably the first air craft carrier. Length 58' built about 1918. We know 58 feet! You'll just have to read the story. (2) Yesterday in our blog posts the second post was a description and link to a recent article in the electronic version of OUT DOOR LIFE describing their pick of the top eleven recreational fish landed of all time. Today that would the third post down from the end of this Home page. (3) Our first blog post yesterday was the now famous "NAMAZU FULLY LOADED , THE FUTURE OF AMERICA PARTS 1 & 2. We planned to run a blog on Monday that Namazu had prepared on gasoline prices and realized that he was basically reporting that yet another of his predictions in "Namazu Fully Loaded..." was coming into reality. So we attempted to link to that well known post. When we found we couldn't link we discovered that the article dated in late 2012 had been automatically sent to the "cloud" for storage. We also discovered that we have about 50,000 visitors who have never had an opportunity to read this post that quote at least monthly. So this weekend we post again in one piece parts 1 &2 together and that should start the cloud filing clock over again. Even if you were with us when it was first published it is worth a second look. The catfish is amazing.
