hahaha I dunno, I don't have jewelries or rings or anything but I always had a watch, specially before when cellphones are still not the norm

i'm not a jewellery person at all, worked around machinery all my life, not the plan, and now i'm retired i have no desire to wear any

Coolest thing about this visit to fort Lauderdale:

We stayed in a part of the beach where all buildings are mandate by law to have a slopped top portion. Why? This allows the sun to stay out longer on the beach. Not for the people but for the eggs which are laid by sea turtles there. The whole section of the beach has numerous patches of sand which are marked off. Two nights ago it was a full moon. We went out on the beach at 11pm to join the volunteers and found a patch of sand that had some of the baby turtles starting to poke out. While waiting for them to come out I spotted a dark moving object not 50 feet away from us approaching the beach. I knew immediately that it was a mother sea turtle! She came on the beach to lay her eggs. Spent about an hour. Not half hour after she left the baby turtles we were waiting to come out finally took their first look at the world. It was amazing to watch them go off in the direction of the moon light and into the ocean.

The volunteers who watch the eggs have two jobs. One is to find where possible eggs have been laid innorder to mark off that patch of sand. And two they watch the hatchlings toque sure they go into the water. The city lights actually disoriatate them and they think it's moonlight so they head in the opposite direction. The volunteers try to steer them in the right direction.

It was truly an amazing experience.

here's some from dinner tonight

Krua Thai

i had a watch once when i was 5 , useless things , i don't live by time

This begs the question: What do you do when someone asks you the time?

You check your cell phone or the clock on the DSLR?

Thanks Martin. The odds of seeing both those events are small. It was really cool to see them. Those small turtles run off fast!!!
