glad you like the watermelon writeup, this kind of quality watermelon is very hard to find!

Yeal, i like watermelon, and i`m watering in my mouth now! haha!

Hi Flagday, you are absolutely right. Jackie Chan would be very interested in a project like this. In meeting people in film they are shocked that these things are happening. I usually respond, if they can create all kinds of special effects on digital, the same thing happening with food.

If people don't start saying something, it will eventually be illegal or require licensing (where you pay monthly fees) to store seeds.

Seed banking is great idea! But too much in-breeding will also affect the crop overtime. Let me know if you need any assistance on conscientous approaches to protecting your seed bank.

These big corps are starting to tick me off.  Someone just said today that the Department of Agriculture should be renamed the Department of Food and I agree.  That's what it's all about, not subsidizing big agribusiness so they can feed us junk.  I think monoculture is so so dangerous.  You're a scientist.  You know, I don't have to tell you.  But I have acreage and I'm going to start growing my own.  My nephew planted watermelon last year and I ate one right from the garden.  Sooooo sweet.  

I'm going to join a seed saving exchange.  I just sent a fellow AnD'r some seeds from a beautiful flowering perennial I have.  Haha, maybe we can start a seed-exchange page on here.  "Seeds from the Stars"!  You think Jackie Chan grows anything?

Wow Gordon that house is really nice

During this time, my review and report on (Caribbean Island) living continues and I'll keep everyone posted. (Flagday is right) There is definitely salt in the air. This is what invigorates the body to heal and allows our lungs to breathe deeply (for people living in the city -if you breathe deeply in levels of high pollution, it is very damaging). About the laptop and computers, as long as you don't trek sand and salt water into the house, the computers will be fine. On the other hand, the vehicles are a different story!

Most everyone buys their cars online from Japan. Vehicle import is actually a thriving line of business. I'll include it in my next post.

I would never want to be inside.  My laptop would be corroded with salt.  That pool is magnificent.  Unreal.  Though not the norm for the area, but probably  the norm for waterfront properties.

Woah....caribbean living ! so relaxing !!!
