Major interruption!
So a friend shows up with their new puppy.
"Let's walk the dogs!"
Makes sense, I live next to the beach.
"Sure, TINKERBELL! Wanna go bye-bye?!?"
So I find stuff, and it's usually the most variety after a good gusty storm.
Well, we had one yesterday (and will tomorrow from what I hear...)
One of the more common "rare" finds are floats.
I've found over a dozen now, including 2 glass ones.
Today I found a cast aluminum, or pot metal float.
VERY neat says I and I fetch it home.
Well it' s got writing on it, actually raised letters in the cast.
I brush off some of the salt and algae on one side.

PHILLIPS?
Electric?

I brush off the other side.

< Manufacturers - PHILLIPS Trawl Products - Grimsby England >

Really?

...

REALLY!?!

Humberside is North Sea no?
How did this get just south of the mouth of the Columbia?
And if I recall Kingston upon Hull, which is just across the bay...

?

Saturday.
As the Germanic tribes had no equivalent for Saturn, they simply called the seventh day Saeternesdaeg.
The French day names are pretty much straight from Latin and the Germanic names equivocated the northern and roman pantheons.

Army ants leave the nest at ~6000 per minuet, at over a million ants in a colony it takes about 3 hours for everyone to leave.
50,000ish insects captured, etc. per day.
When migrating the colony moves ~200yrds per day.
Soldiers, bridge-builders, workers, and specialists.
How large an area covered per colony and how frequently do they migrate?

Teotihuacan (for Gibal)
8 square miles in area.
Population 120,000 (height)
~20,000 one-family homes, >500 craft workshops.
Surrounding agricultural country is dotted with small villages of some eight to twelve households.

"In the first century B.C., when Teotihuacan was just getting underway, the Maya were still villagers living in thatched houses in the dense rain forest.
This homeland was an area known as the Peten in the southern part of the Yucatan peninsula.
They were farmers, subsisting on a diet of corn, beans, and squash (the Three Sisters, "suffering succotash!"), and they cleared their land by the slash-and-burn system; that is, they cut down the vegetation with machetes (clubs w/obsidian blades) and set fire to it.
Land thus cleared, if planted and replanted, is often exhausted within a few years and can be drastically eroded by the heavy tropical rains.
But the Maya seem to have understood the problems, for by carefully combining different crops, they got a high per-acre yield.
Their tall maize protected the precious soil from the force of the rain, and under the corn they planted beans and squash as a ground cover.
(This is a slight misunderstanding of the real subtly of the relationship of these plants. The beans grew up the cornstalks instead of up been-poles, and the squash also helped prevent weeds for example.)
Surprisingly enough, the Maya managed not only to survive in their inhospitable environment but to produce an abundance.
They must, in fact, have produced sizeable surpluses, for around A.D. 300 their way of life began to change.

No joke.
