The land of India is home to many endangered species. While the tiger is probably the most famous, the elephant is high on the list. Male Indian elephants have valuable ivory tusks. This has caused poachers to target them instead of females that don’t have them. The ratio of male elephants to female is in some cases as much as 100-1.

Another problem the elephants are facing is the growing loss of habitat. Development has interfered with their traditional traveling corridors. Efforts are under way to help the elephants through a variety of methods by the Indian government. I hope these efforts will work and these wonderful animals can be saved.

The weather is always an important factor in our lives. We get used to it and usually don’t pay it a whole lot of attention. There are times though when it is important that we do. Since the hurricane season is just around the corner, I thought I would check out the old homestead and make sure everything was alright. After a brief search, I thought I had a few problems that needed addressing.

One thing I saw was that my woodpile was out in the open. I thought that getting a canvas tarp would be a good way to cover it and keep the wood dry. That would come in handy during the winter as I wouldn’t have ice all over the logs. I was also reminded of the old shed out back. The roof is leaking and I have never gotten around to fixing it. I believe that purchasing a strong silver tarp would be a good way to keep the weather out.

As I was passing the driveway, I saw that my old truck was getting a bit weathered. I figured that getting a truck tarp would be just the thing to keep it in good condition. After I was done with my inspection, I felt a lot better about being prepared for whatever weather was coming. That’s a good feeling to have!

It’s always been amazing to me that mankind has lived on this earth for so long and we still haven’t seen everything it has to offer. Scientist using deep sea equipment has added to the list a number of species that have never before been seen. The discoveries have many people excited about the implications of the species involved.

The exploration took place off the coast of northern Indonesia. Some of the animals were discovered as much as two miles below the sea. Scientists will use the photographs taken to register the animals as new.

Over the last winter, we did a lot of work to the inside of our home. We painted and reworked our kitchen. We added some walls and finished our basement. We also bought many items such as furniture and rugs to improve the way our house looks inside. Since that work is mostly done, our attention has turned to the outside of the house. We were concerned about how our house looks from the street.

Of course we started with reworking the lawn. We added some garden space to the front yard and put in some bushes. The space looked good, but needed something more. We finally thought that adding a curbside mailbox would be a good idea. The only problem was deciding where to get one that would fit the style of our home. I went to the internet and found a site that had all the curbside mailboxes we could ever want.

The site was called mailboxixchange.com and they had what we were looking for. Since they had so many curbside mail boxes to choose from, it was hard to decide which one was the best for us. We finally decided on one that we all liked. Now that empty spot is filled and we are very happy with the results of our efforts.
