Another Day...

The entire South American continent was displaced by a number of quakes. The entire ring of fire is moving and, well,  keep your eyes peeled on this stuff especially in Alaska. Watch for 7-10 days. Be careful in the Northwest as well. Things are troubling. Please don't ignore this.
See Dutchsinse for more info from 31:00 on in the video.

Friday is here already after a long humid and hot week.

It is time to share some photos from Friday Foto Friends and Skywatch Friday too.
If you haven't joined in, I encourage you to do just that. It is so much fun to see what people photograph or what photos they find to share. It's a nice way to meet other bloggers too.

In the kitchen/dining area I put up a General Store sign. I kind of like it a lot.

You can see the Boston sign too.
I have a thing for Boston since I am a Spenser for Hire/Jesse Stone fan.  I love Robert Parker's mysteries since I like books from the male point of view and things that get to the point.    Parker gets to the point ,says what he has to say and moves on.
Early Autumn is probably my favorite in the series. Read it almost 10 times. I like male authors more than female. Men are just better writers than women in my opinion. Don't judge me. 😛

Crystals hang in my kitchen window and line the window sill.I hang them inside and outside the house like Pollyanna did. My kitchen window needs replacing.

They leave Rainbows all over the place in the morning sun.

 Outside, the crazy Black Eyed Susans are growing so nicely.

 Aritha asked about my Puma running shoes. Here they are on the dock a bit sand covered as usual. Sand inside them too but baby powder takes it off quickly. I have little feet but they get me where I want to go and that is what counts.

Here is my view from the dock. From here I can wave to Brazil.  Yup, New Jersey is directly across from Brazil.. who'd a thunk it, but there you have it, it is true.

This article says,  "If you got in the water at 30th Street in Ocean City,(NJ) and swam out in a straight line, eventually you'd hit not Europe, but South America! Brazil, to be more specific."
The Mercator map you know from school is all wrong.. ALL wrong! Look into it sometime.

the barrier island is straight ahead of me

  Here is a view from the front of the house looking westward as I wave Hi to my friends out west.

Here is a world map with a more accurate perspective on where you are in the world.

 Take care of yourselves.
