Energy Drinks

I have alwasy been a big fan of energy drinks. When I was in high school i use to drink one before everyday started. It was almost like breakfast for me. I never really had any bad crashes from them either. But over last summer i got really sick and my doctor told me it was from drinking to much caffine and my body was on overload. So what i am suggesting is that if you drink them or any sodas do it in moderation. The are not good for your body at all and in the long run they will and can harm you. Just as an example if you put a penny into Coke it will dissolve over time. The drinks are full of acid. This is just a warning you do not have to listen to me but just be caustious thats all.

Thanksgiving myths i never knew...

The first Thanksgiving was merely a celebration in thanks for a good harvest and did not become an established tradition among the colonies. Contrary to popular belief, the Pilgrims would not have eaten pumpkin pie at the first thanksgiving. When the Plymouth Pilgrims arrived in the New World, they had only a limited amount of sugar and no ovens with which to bake. Turkey would not have been a main course for the pilgrims; it was more likely that they ate venison yummmy and seafood, such as cod. The food that would have been served at the harvest meal would have consisted more of meat than of vegetables. Which honestly I would have preferred. I hate veggies.

Flounder Fishing

When Nov roles around all I think of is flounder fishing. They have two eyes, but with a twist - both on the same side of its head. The flounder is almost immediately recognizable to most people. Much of the U.S. coastal waters are inhabited by a similar species to our Gulf and Southern flounders. It's sometimes difficult to tell the difference, but both share a similar characteristic - they are fabulous dinner, probably the mildest tasting fish in the sea. Flounders are born looking like most any other fish, including normally positioned eyes. As they develop, however, the right eye begins to shift toward the left. Once out of the adolescent stage, flounders take up their position in life, half buried in the sand, eyes looking upward, waiting for food to pass them by. Their coloration is almost a perfect match for the sandy bottom, and they are nearly invisible. Flounders have a set of choppers, and gobble up shrimp and crustaceans given the chance. Oddly enough, most flounder are caught by accident - that is, peoples are fishing for something else, and a flounder appears on the end of the line. They can be targeted by fishing a live sardine over sand or mud bottom in this way: cast out, then slowley retrieve the bait. When your bait passes over Mr. Flounder's resting spot - snap! They put up a dogged fight, using their flat bodies to provide resistance to your upward pull. They don't get too big around here - a couple, maybe 3-4 pounds, but as I mentioned before, a delicious and mild fish. My favorite spot to fish for Mr. Flounder is on Fort DeSoto.
