America's Oldest Veteran Lives in Austin.

What Happened to Him Yesterday Will Make You Smile.

May many blessings from Kiehtan (GOD) shower down to Josh Mayou, a Home Depot manager and all of the volunteers then overflow throughout East Austin this day because of this marvelous act of kindness!

Home Depot manager and leader of the project, said the project was the third of five in the area being renovated for veterans.

Funding was provided by the Home Depot Foundation, and volunteers for the one-day work sessions came from a variety of sources.

Volunteers have a long list of projects, Mayou said, so workers hoped to finish it all Thursday. Besides the refrigerator and the windows, the team fixed the bathroom, painted the walls, rebuilt a fence and repaired the porch where Mr. Overton likes to pass his days.

A diverse group of volunteers braved the heat Thursday to upgrade the residence of 107-year-old World War II veteran Richard Overton – the country’s oldest living World War II veteran.

The East Austin house has been Overton's home since he built it in 1945, when he returned from war. And though he’s done some upgrades over the years, it was beginning to have some serious issues: broken windows, a failing refrigerator and more.

Notice that our information came from the University of Florida, Go Gators.

Deland woman's dog injured in scuffle with black bear

 

Floridians, put your trash into a good sealed container and wildlife will not smell your unused food!

First thing to notice would be that this young German Shepherd (The German Shepherd aka Alsatian and Alsatian Wolf Dog), is a breed of large-sized dog that originated in Germany, was not on a dog leash, by law should have been.

Yes, the dog may have been trying to protect the teenager and yes the dog went looking for a fight.

What would you, as a parent of two young children do if for instance a large young dog came running up to them looking for trouble?

Well this is what has been going on for some time now in Florida as the wildlife keeps being push out of this, there land.

Adult bears must deal with their cubs being hit by traffic or shot by gun happy Floridians, now they must also deal with angry pets looking to do battle.

Checking out this article you will notice that all three bears ran into a tree, bears will not initiate an attack and will only battle enough to remove the attacker from their cubs in danger or the food, proof of this is that the dog is still alive?

Dolphin Deaths is from Virtual smallpox

(1) ~ Virtual infection caused the death of Dolphins along the east coast

(2) ~ A Crocodile ate both of my feet and one hand, so the doctors put a Band-Aid on my head?

So which statement is only half true?

Both statements are only about half true.

Once upon a time a doctor put a Band-Aid on my head.

Some type of virus may have a little to do with all of those animals from New York to the Carolina's deaths.

The whole truth that Scientist, farmers, the Media, lobbyist, chemical companies, and manufactures do not wish to admit is, their polluting the land with chemicals and it is running off into our lakes, streams, rivers and oceans killing not only fish and mammals but the seaweed food that feeds everything from plankton to whales in the chain of life!

Dolphin Deaths Virtual smallpox along the shores of the east coast states our Scientist?

What's killing all those dolphins?

NOAA thinks it's a virus?

The five affected states are

New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. North Carolina has also seen an increase in dolphin stranding, according to NOAA.

 

As of Sunday, there have been 488 dolphin stranding from New York to North Carolina, more than 300 dolphins above the annual average.

NOAA found that 32 dolphins were either

"suspect or confirmed positive for mobillivirus."

Measles-like virus may be cause of dolphin deaths on US coast

Since July 1, 333 bottlenose dolphins have been found dead along coastlines from New York to North Carolina, the highest number in a quarter-century and almost 10 times the average of 33 for the same period and region over the last five years, according to Teri Rowles of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Number of Farms by State, 2001–2007

The following table shows the number of operating farms in each of the United States.

Number of farms just along the east coast from NY to SC and this is only 2007

This can only report about ones that the census has?

What about the thousands not reported and the chemical companies, paper factories and mills also dumping runoff?
Don't forget about Nuclear, Oil, Gas and Coal power plants their runoff is constant day & night.

FARMS

Del aware 2,200

Maryland 12,000

New Jersey 9,800

New York 34,200

North Carolina 48,000

South Carolina 24,700

Virginia 47,100

I am including Florida because we are also losing Manatees from this runoff!

And Florida has Sugar Mills.

Florida 40,000 farms.

A Brown/Black Labrador Retriever attacked a Black Bear

Lake Mary Seminole County Florida, the home of our wildlife like our beautiful dossal black bears is, like so many counties, being overrun by humans and their unleashed pets.

 Last year an unleashed pet (Labrador Retriever) attacked a black bear wandering around looking for food.

After the unleashed dog annoyed the bear for awhile the bear swiped it out of the way.

This unleashed dog will not try the patience of a bear weighing ten times that of a dog anytime soon?

The unleashed Lab has just enough scratches on its face to learn not to pick a fight with a bear.

If this bear wished, it could have ended the life of the pet however, the bear only wanted the unleashed pet to mind its own business.

Now, as always, the humans want to blame the bear and have it moved or worse. How about not allowing a trouble maker pet to run free?

Black Bear's are being abused one way or another in Seminole county far too much as is.

Remember, our Black Bears are the endangered species, not the Labrador Retriever?
