I spend a good amount of time outside during the winter months, I have always been the outdoor type of person and having outside fun all year round is just a part of me that takes over. I do notice that I have been having a harder time keeping my feet and hands warm during the winter and have decided to go online and see what there is to offer in the way of heated socks. 

I was surprised to find so many different types and brands and prices that I found, making a decision is becoming a pain in the rear. Some times having a larger selection to choose from overwhelms me and I find that I can’t make a decision and it pisses me off.  So I’ve decided to book mark the sites and go back to it at a later date, just not too much later. Winter is rearing it’s ugly head all ready and the good times are waiting right out side my door, there are pirating adventures just ahead!

I hate to hear and see on the news about today’s pirates, they really have taken pirating to an embarrassing new height with technology and all that it and other new tactics, have to offer these guys.

Today a story was release about a group of Somali pirates demanding $25 million from the Saudi owners of three small ships anchored some where off the Haradhere, Somalia coast. One of the ships is holding crude oil that is being know being the “big prize”, and the pirates have all ready collected $4 million so far!

I wouldn’t want to be on the “high seas” in this day and age, a whole totally different kind of game is being played here, with all of the new technology that anyone can get their hands on and use to their advantage, and we are living in the age of nuclear access, wish scares the *%&$@# out of me!

My passion for reading has been with me all of my life, although it take a back seat for several years after giving birth to my daughter, 12 years ago. Now that I am on my own once again, my ex has custody, for the time being, I have been excited about given more time on my hands in order to start some serious reading once again.

I have been a “Parrot Head” since way back and have always enjoyed the tropical type music that he is so well known for producing and I have heard that he has written some books lately, but have never seemed to be able to come upon any of his books until just recently.

So I was thrilled to find one of his books called “A Salty Piece of Land” at my favorite used book store, and for only $2 and I’ve really enjoyed the reading of it this past week. I’m glad that inside of the book it tells me the names of his other books that I will need to see if I can find at a good bargain also. I’m especially interesting in finding the one entitled “A Pirate Looks At Fifty”, if I can’t find it locally then I guess I could always look on-line and see if I can find it somewhere out there in cyber-world, for cheap.
