The Everglades is a swampland located in the southern region of Florida. Roughly 7,800 square miles or 20,000 square kilometers. A levee borders along most of the Eastern developed areas that include Miami & Fort Lauderdale, extending about 200 miles north.

There are a few highways that run north & south some roads that connect to a few west coast cities, like Naples and Tampa.

A natural preserve, you can find several Indian reservations along the way to the west coast. They have several rest stops for food, toilet facilities, gas, fishing and tourism with air boat rides and canoeing.

There are warning signs not to feed the wildlife. If you get caught hunting birds, expect a jail visit.

With certain restrictions, you are allowed to trap & kill alligators and Burmese pythons.
I'm not sure of the history, but pythons aren't indigenous to the area and have become invasive and destructive to the natural wildlife.

Introducing Mike Kimmel, aka the Python Cowboy. Mike sells custom made leather goods from pythons he's captured.

It's nesting season and Mike was able to kill a female python who was carrying more than 60 eggs. It's a major find to keep the python population under control as a fully grown snake can eat an adult alligator.

One of his stories appeared in Yahoo, complete with a photo of this catch.

It's reported in the news that the Aurora borealis also called the Northern Lights will be visible in several US states and parts of Canada next week. Weather permitting, the activity will be high July 12th and 13th.

The phenomena is described as electrically-charged particles (ions) in solar winds that come from the sun. They move away in waves or a stream of plasma (ionized gas)
coming in contact with the Earth's magnetic field. Some of the ions become trapped and will consequently interact with the Earth's ionosphere causing the ions to glow.

Seen in a clear night sky, it creates a moving shimmering mostly blue-greenish light affect.

Syrian miracle
The funny, my friends, is the crying
It's not about complaining or asking for help.
But to feel blessed, happy and appreciated..
Without comparing with others, let's start with some real stats!
The monthly salary of an employee in Syria is about ten dollars..and the daily working hours are 8 hours..and the price of a kilo of lamb is only $10..??
Transportation is as if you were crammed into a bus, which can accommodate forty people, but carries 100 people inside.. Long live Corona

The electricity is cut off most of the day.. every six hours, the electricity comes on for half an hour ??

The cars here are used, less than a 2010 model car, for $10,000..??

The monthly rent for the house is 50 dollars. ?? the cheaper one.. .to go to a restaurant..100 dollars..but your salary does not exceed 10 dollars..
..how can you live..this is it
Syrian miracle

There are three possible reasons why President Kennedy was assassinated
1 As a result of the Cuban missile crisis. Embarrassment to Kruschev resulting from Russia's climb down from installing missiles in Cuba and the threat this posed to USA.
2 Kennedy's attempts to tackle the Mafia's criminal presence in USA.
3 Kennedy's requests for the CIA to supply info to Russia regarding the knowledge held regarding UFOs. Kennedy apparently sent a request to the CIA to release details of extra terrestrial craft experiences recorded. He possibly thought that such craft if passing over Russia's nuclear silos could be thought to be from USA and may lead to reprisals. The CIA ignored his request apparently.
Three reasons here. Russia, Mafia, CIA.
Any other suggestions?

This is not a complaint blog. It's an observation and a question. I live near Pittsburgh, PA. On the 4th of July my son went to the store to pick up a few dinner items. I rarely have a craving for hotdogs, but that's what I wanted to make for our Independence day dinner. As my son was in town I asked him to pick up a few things, including hot dog relish which is like a finely diced sweet pickle with mustard. No hot dog relish to be found. In fact he'd never heard of it. As I said we rarely dine on hotdogs. They had regular sweet relish. That's it. I thought surely he must have failed to look properly. After the holiday I went to the store and no hot dog relish to be found. Apparently it's not a thing in the Pittsburgh area. Days later I still can't get over it. Yes, absolutely there are far greater (and real) problems in the world than the fact that people where I live fail to recognize the awesomeness of hot dog relish. To be honest, I usually prefer to drown my dogs with yellow mustard and diced raw onions.

Anywhoo...that got me thinking. In the hotdog-eating world, what is the standard of excellence of toppings? Anyone who mentions ketchup gets ignored.

Confucius said, it's not that he blogs too much. It's that the others blog too little.
As a matter of perspective. If one person blogs daily and others feel like they only want to blog weekly or monthly, is it the fault of the person who blogs daily that his/her blogs often appear on the main page?

If the website had more member participation there would be more blogs and no reason to complain about the bloggers who 'keep the place alive' and frequently appear on the main page.

Blog more people... Be an active part of the blogging community in a good way and not a bad way.

Maybe the solution is to blog about giving money to scammers or why it's so hard to find someone using online dating.

Those topics rarely get talked about!

According to some investigators on the pandemic, work at the Wuhan laboratory in China involved the genetic manipulation of a SARS virus at the request of the military, in order for it to be used as a bio weapon. It is also believed that a vaccine was being developed to possibly immunise the Chinese population against the produced virus. The COVID virus was not found naturally, but was completely new, which supports the possibility that it was deliberately produced and a leak resulted due to inadequate precautions. Staff wore a mask and white coat only in the lab.
This is just speculation, but many people still believe the virus was due to a leak.

In ancient Egypt, wine was used as an offering to the gods to symbolise power to revitalise and rebirth. They saw a connection between wines red colour and the blood of Osiris, the God of the afterlife.
So, red wine was not something unique to the biblical story of the last supper and Jesus's comparison of blood and wine, it was a ritual that already existed many years before.

Zeus the number one God in Greek Mythology gave his daughter Pandora, a present. It was a vase, not a box as commonly described. It had a lid. He told his daughter to display the object wherever she wanted, but she must never remove the lid.
The temptation was too great for Pandora and she removed the top. As a result, all the troubles that would face the world were released, except for hope.
Does this sound similar to the story of Adam and Eve and the instruction not to eat the forbidden fruit?
The biblical story is not unique and there are many stories that exist around the world that are similar.

At the test match yesterday at Lord's cricket ground, an England batsman was stumped by the Australian wicket keeper for wandering outside his crease. The batsman, Bairstow assumed beforehand that it was the end of the over, so the ball was dead. But the Australian team jumped with delight at seeing him out. The umpire hadn't officially declared that it was the end of the over so technically the ball was still live and the player must be deemed out. A mass protest ensued and the Australian team were booed by the crowd and called cheats.
This brings into question the right spirit of the game and the Australians capitalised on the situation when, if they showed the right sporting attitude, they should not have stumped the England player as he assumed the ball was dead and the Australian player knew that, but took the opportunity to gain a crucial wicket without showing the right sporting spirit.
Is it important in any sport to show the right sporting attitude, or is winning at any cost the only objective.
