This folks has got to be a first!


Our government admits wrong about anything?

The Navy has admitted its training exercises are killing or harming more marine mammals than previously acknowledged

While reading throughout the internet it would seem that it is now too late for this court case, the whales over on the west coast may now be going by the wayside thanks to my navy!!!! :-(

However, there will be many more court cases, you can bet on it! :-)

The training exercises occur in waters off the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington...including within a designated National Marine Sanctuary, and threaten six endangered whale species, including blue, fin, humpback, sei, sperm, and, the last 84 southern resident orca whales.

And last year the Navy admitted its training exercises are harming more marine mammals than they previously acknowledged.

These endangered 84 orca whales are already perilously close to extinction, and the mid-frequency sonar, surface-to-air gunnery, missile exercises, and underwater explosions used in the training expose these rare whales to potentially fatal stress.

Military training is important to our national security—but it can and should be conducted in a manner that prevents harm to endangered wildlife. And there are other, less-sensitive habitat areas where this training can be conducted.

In the past, the Navy’s mid-frequency sonar has been implicated in mass standings' of marine mammals including a mass beaching of nearly 200 melon-headed whales in Hanalei Bay in Hawaii.

We cannot afford for this to happen again, especially in a designated marine sanctuary that is home to so many endangered and threatened species.

Groups like this one (Earthjustice) need our help in a battle to help save our endangered wild life, if you can, please think about a donation to them, thank you and Creator blessings ~ GOD BLESS!

If Alligators were a Machine?


If alligators were a machine they would be one of the most sort after machines in the world, yet humans kill them indiscriminately without cause?
 

An alligator is a fast, strong, durable, beautiful hunter however, unlike humans, if not hunger at no risk to anyone.

If a machine you would not have to build it, maintain it, or have it serviced every 3,000 miles.

Like all bottom feeders, they help keep disease under control from decay because they will eat almost anything.

Stay out of their dining room!

Like Native Americans of Indian country, they were here before the Europeans, in point of fact, they were here long before the first people.

So, why the open season on them for no reason?

Like everything else on Mother Earth, because we can!

HAPPY EARTH DAY to my brothers and sisters the Alligators!

SHE'S BACK!!!!!!!


As you know by now we treasure every creation that Creator sends our way.

We have two sets of Black Bear Families, Birds, Lizards, Alligators, just about every endangered species in Florida and so on.

We love Breanna more than our own life however, today our Land Lord returned for the summer!

Harriett is our live in Gopher Tortoise some just call a turtle, NOT.

She was on this property before we move in year around.

She has been hibernating for so long that we were starting to doubt if she had run away or not.

Her home (Den) is right up at the front fence which is 15' from the road by law. We, Harriett and this family have been battling with every company in central Florida because it would seem that our fence is a perfect place to park those big trucks, right on Harriett's home!

Need Wi Fi? Dig up Harriett's home on the way up and down the street 3 times!

Need to scrape the side of the road? Scrape right over Harriett's home!

Need to part your truck to talk on your cell phone? Right on Harriett's home!

Who could blame her if she did leave?

The worse thing was at the beginning of our meeting each other, coming from Connecticut from a life time of turtles, the first thing I did was give her a bath!

Gopher Tortoise Hate Water! :-(

It took me over a year before she forgave me for that one.

Then came the phone company installing Wi Fi down the road, of course it had to go underground and on this side of the street!

After they dug her up out of her home we had to keep her in a large plastic container until the job was completed, she still has not forgiven us for that one.

Thank You Creator because she is back today eating in the front yard!

P.S.

We do not treat the land with chemicals or replace the grass because that is her food plus Breanna runs around the yard!

New Photos of our baby


 
Well, Breanna took her annual trip to Gainesville for her check up and give up some blood for testing at the Small Animal Hospital University of Florida yesterday.

As you can tell form the photos her hates the place!

:-)
 

When was the last time you saw a doctor get down on the floor and play with a patient?

All went well until time to come home, the storm beat us to the parking lot, once we made it past Ocala it was a much better ride south.

A time to love life!


Thank you God (Creator) for a heart to see and eyes to enjoy.

One should learn to love the life of retirement when, while sitting at the table every morning sun up and evening sun down, half into the computer enjoying reading about your blogger friends and their writing and half looking out the window at nature in all of her beauty while waiting the start of a work day, Bird feeders and bird baths to re fill and a garden to get ready for planting, when cars, trucks and our visiting motorcycles slow or stop while nature passes by. This is called Bike-Week in Daytona Beach Florida, a time when bikers from around the world come to enjoy our sun and beaches. It would seem that my neighbors, the Black Bear Family, do not care about our day light saving time, they and their ancestors have been crossing this road using their built in clocks since long before there was a road. This morning a parade of bikes shut down the road to allow nature to do her thing, they all shut off their bikes, bikes that are already quiet, and just watched until the family were well out of sight and on their way looking for breakfast. That in itself is a beauty of nature when a group of, so called ruff men, a faults statement, get to stop and enjoy natures time. Retirement, somebody's got to do it so I do my part. :-)


Life is good!
