I’m on dinner break. I’m sifting through mounds of lost glasses and sunglasses. After month if no one claims them we place them in a special bag and the Lions Club picks them up.
Some good shit here. I’ve never been able to make myself take even those super Maui Jim’s.

Must reads for the weekend. Don’t know if I’ll be back.

Plundering the oceans I love my oceans for fishing and surfing. I’m big on not only saving the waves but saving the fish.

It’s well documented that many of the world’s major fisheries are in shocking decline. Some 90 percent of the world’s big fish, such as bluefin tuna, blue marlin and Antarctic cod, have almost disappeared from the oceans since the advent of industrial fishing in the 1950s, according to a groundbreaking paper published in Nature in 2003 by Myers and Worm. And by 2048 the world’s supply of seafood will likely simply run out, Worm and other marine biologists warned in the pages of Science in 2006. As of 2008, 80 percent of the world’s fish stocks were considered either vulnerable to collapse or already collapsed.
