On 14th October 1881 a major storm hit this part of the coastline. The Eyemouth Disaster, as it came to be known, was a major disaster resulting in the death of 189 fishermen who were out in their boats.
It was a catastrophe, decimating communities. Eyemouth was especially hit but in the village of Cove where I stood, 11 of the 21 fishermen who lived there died.
In recent years a number of memorials have been erected in the various fishing villages affected. They're rather heartbreaking to look at, depicting the worried women and children of the village looking out to see wondering if their husband, their dad would make it home.
Final day of the Southern Upland Way blogged about at ramblingman.org.uk/southernuplandway/day18
I have seen some increasing issues with this Emerald Ash Borer. This year it has really begun doing in trees. In Northbrook I saw one block lose at least 10 35+ year olds but this area I was at in Arlington Heights will be devasted.
The cost and loss of property value will be in the millions! Almost every home I saw had a tag and my wild guess is at least a few hundred trees gone soon.
I lost two Elms that were 55 years old to Dutch Elm and it sucks. It really sucks when you are paying about $2400.00 to devalue your property yet!

我情願相信，那場旱，那場澇，全是因為他迷失在了他的愛裡。他失了分寸，在他傾其所有的給出了他的愛之後。多久沒有這樣，流淌那麼長的淚水，又忽爾放肆那麼狂的熱情了。別怪他，給他多些呵護吧！愛過的人都明白這反復無常吧！別讓他因愛生了病......我的天，他也只是個孩子！迷惑的人們。
Even from 36,000 feet the flame and smoke plume from the blown-out well head stand out against the gulf of mexico. Brown streaks of crude oil were evident for miles in every direction. Just makes you sick to your stomach.
I tried an experiment. I had to go to the store so I left all three dogs in the house.
This is what I came home to see. The crate is supposed to be next to the couch. The table with all my family photos and semi precious books was behind the couch.
Rosie and Blaze have been left alone for 6 hours at a time and no problrm. So this was the result of Marcus.
But I love them any way.

Believe it or not there was not a collision here. My dog, Jasper (flying) narrowly missed the oblivious Maverick (the black and white border collie) while playing Frisbee at the Chandler, AZ Paseo Dog park.

The abandoned Union Carbide factory in Bhopal India, site of the worst ever single-incident industrial disaster. A leak of highly toxic gas, from this factory, killed between 8-10,000 people within 72 hours. Up to 25,000 people are now believed to have succumbed to illness or injury caused by their exposure to this gas.
The factory has never been decontaminated nor remediated and these photos show its condition in the year leading up to the 35th anniversary of the disaster. Toxic waste, dumped at the factory site and the nearby solar evaporation ponds, continues to poison the land and ground water for miles around. The groundwater has been a primary drinking water source for tens of thousands of families, many of whom still rely on it.
