Numeral "deux"

Blogging away, hey, hey, hey!

Got here today by way of an "author" page at Amazon.com (https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B07F64V892 ) and was there to update IT!  Well, it wanted me to include a blog (if I used one,) and on trying to point out my initial "Morningbrain...," it just didn't work.  Will try to use this entry and see if that works.  In any case, the book and pamphlet on Amazon are on the verge of being published, both as Kindle editions and paperback, and I guess, having that done, I will be coming here a bit more frequently.

No new topic to discuss today except for the Aiken Carolina Bay.  It seems, sometime over the course of the last few years, this bay has become polluted.  There is an indicator organism, "duckweed" it is called, that is almost covering the bay.  This was not the case way back when, when I began writing articles for that now defunct internet news source called "Examiner.com."  One of my earlier articles was about that very Bay which, at that time, supported a bit of duckweed.  All natural bodies of water in our area probably have just a bit of the stuff, but nowhere near what is an almost a total cover of the water's surface by the little plant.  I think I'll pass this on to our "AikenStandard" and see what they have to say.  Pollution is not a good thing, especially when it is something that is degrading a City asset like Aiken's Carolina Bay.  Could be our City might borrow about three autosamplers from the County to find out which feed stream of the bay is delivering the pollutant to the bay.  Once that is done, it shouldn't be too difficult to find out who the culprit is and make the needed corrections.

That's about it, for now (except for that first blog.  To go there, try:  https://stephenvgeddes.blogspot.com/2011/09/morningbrain-first-august-2009.html .)
And, of course, thanks for your interest.

  1. The duckweed problem can be fixed if the City wants to do something about it. Best thing is to determine where the pollution is coming from and require corrections from the polluter.
