T-shirts have been around a long time March 11, 2007
Did you know that according to some the beginning of the T-shirt is credited to the navy. The US Navy that is, while other historians say it was The “swabs” in the British Royal Navy who wore them under their uniforms in World War I, some even suggest it was the French Army.
American soldiers liked the comfortable lightweight cotton undershirt compared to the wool uniforms American soldiers wore and the rest is history.

If the vast majority of the world’s scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have ever experienced.
If that sounds like a recipe for serious gloom and doom — think again. AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH is a movie you have just got to see. Check your local cinema. If it is on GO.

Miami to Maine October 20, 2006
The other day we got an email from Margo Pellegrino in New Jersey. She is currently training to prepare for a coastal paddle from Miami, Florida to Camden, Maine set for May 2007.

Here is a video he did entitled Hope. Have a look at it.
