Iceberg Cowboys
June 30th, 2005 @ 22:59Posted by: Jimmie
I just watched a show on the Discovery Channel about guys that lasso icebergs to keep them out of shipping lanes and away from oil rigs (actually, they use nets). Unbelievable.
If they can’t move the berg they have to move the rig.
Sometimes the ice chunks are too small (like dump truck size) so they turn the boat backwards and push water against them with thier engines to move them.
What a world.

How About This?

You’re going to think I’m joking, but here goes.
We’d like to camp at the
Bandera Beverage Barn Campground
on the Medina River, in Bandera right off Highway 16.
It’s not well know so hardly anybody camps, but I’ve driven by there many times and thought it would be a great place to stay. It’s right on a beautiful stretch of clear river with lots of trees. Really close to SA and convenient to get to for everybody.
Their number is (830) 796-8153 (but reservations are not needed).
They have: covered pavilion, picnic tables, fishing, tubing. Convenience store on site, coin laundry, restrooms with showers. Pets on leash (puppies!). They charge $10 (per tent, I think, maybe per site). This is not a rowdy place cause people live there (in RVs)- it’s good for kids. They said it didn’t matter how many people we bring – they have plenty of room.
We’ll go in on Friday evening or Saturday morning and probably just stay until Sunday afternoon. Then Monday we’ll hang around our house and watch fireworks in Landa Park, maybe explode a few things ourselves.
Sounds like fun?
I thought so!
Only in Hawaii….

…can a ukulele player be a total rock star. But maybe that’ll change soon.
This kid, Jake Shimabukuru, is amazing on the uke. I got to do a show with his band on Maui once.
He was featured on NPR’s The World today because he’s touring with Jimmy Buffet. There are sound clips on the web site.

Jimmie wants to go to Chalk Bluff!
The cliffs look like this:
How clear is the water?
That’s how clear!
C’mon, let’s go!

WSJ.com – To Fight Avian Flu, Dutch Farmer Takes Unusual Skills to Asia
As a boy, Harm hated having to kill baby male chicks. He moved away and never looked back. But fate, and his Father’s death conspired to make him one of the world’s best chicken killers.
His mother wasn’t surprised he returned. “It is in our blood, chickens,” she says. “We were born with chickens.”

The animation shows red squares for quakes in the last hour, then blue for yesterday and yellow for last week. The size of the square corresponds to the magnitude.
