Nice MCC enjoy your vacation

[mclaincausey]

Thanks brothers. Would you believe this isn't a vacation? I feel much better about leaving 9.5 days of PTO on the table last year!

[Blackheart]

I have over 500 hours of PTO still, maybe I need to start hanging out with you mac so they'll get used!

[mclaincausey]

Any time! Although my personal travel is quite limited, my job is behind this one. They really had to twist my arm!

Little snow hike On Sunday with My wife in her grandfathers vintage woolrich double knee flannel lumberjack…....thing. Vintage to the max with original talon zipper. He passed away 11 days ago after battling Alzheimer's disease for 8 years. He was a high school principal, retired, then moved to japan to teach at an English school there for many years. He lived in Japan, Kuwait, and Jordan. And, served in WW2 in this early 20's. He was a badass.

Mme B and I hit the beach.  We had another violent storm last night.  And we do so love seeing the power of nature…

This pic certainly is not the best...

But, no matter, the point of the post is what struck us more than the beauty of the storms aftermath was the incredible amount of plastic that had got thrown up.  Our poor, poor, poor oceans….

Yes, mans ingenuity and cleverness dose seem to outstrip his wisdom… 

[seawolf]

In other news…. This fence does a great job of filtering the plastic out of the ocean

Giles yes it is sad for the oceans. Plastic the worst thing invented by man it does not brake down. and is killing a lot of fish and living things in the oceans around the worldSAD

PS    Man is destroying planet earth the only place he can live. All for the greed of the mighty dollar.

^How cool is this? I'm surprised there isn't more support for this endeavor, if it's even remotely possible.

Hopefully, articles like the above bring more attention to the cause, and I'm crossing my fingers that the trials are successful.
