Cause to Pause

Sunday, we went out to Loxahatchee for an airboat eco-tour of the Everglades. As as much to ride the airboat as anything else. We tried on Friday, but by the time we got there, a monsoon had blown in.
Both my wife and I grew up in the midwest and airboats are about as close to driving a car on snow and sliding around as you can get. Great fun!

Anyway, we went out to http://www.evergladesairboattours.com and just had a blast! The guide Lyle

was quite informative as he has been doing this for over 50 years. We did see the obligatory alligator:

and learned how they (alligators) will discover where a turtle nest is on a bank. When the hatchlings come out and slide down the hill to the water and……you get the rest. Delicate balance of nature and all.

We really do live in a wonderfully created world. Let us not take it, or the Creator for granted.

1. AccessACS running inside Facebook. I could write a post about this. Or I could just suggest you go check out Matt Irvine’s post. Either way, you are going to want to see this.
2. Andy Andrews book The Noticer. A full review is forthcoming, but suffice it to say, this book is full of axioms. What is an axiom? An axiom is a short sentence that defines action or direction. Like a cliche only with real value.
3. Documents to Go for Android. This is my first paid app. However, this gives me full functionality of Word and Excel documents in my phone. Including Word/Excel 2007. All of the normal functions I use in Word/Excel on the desktop are here. Working on functions, freezing and unfreezing panes, separate sheets in Excel. Bulleted lists and formatting in Word. There will be a free upgrade that will include PowerPoint as well as a pdf viewer. And yes, copy and paste.
Currently, if someone emailed me a doc to my Gmail address, I could open it in Google docs. Same thing with pdf. Now, no matter which address it goes to, I can open it PLUS I have full editing, saving capabilities. Almost makes me wish I took the bus to work.
4. Volcano Burrito from Taco Bell. This thing will light you up. LOVE IT!!

One of the great things about living in Florida is the fishing. It’s great provided you like fishing. If you don’t well…
So this morning a group of us met at the dock at 0600. Why so early? That will make sense in a little bit: (continue reading…)
