While drawing out this year’s Halloween display on our office backdoor/chalk board, Roman, the office mascot climbed into one of the characters and took control of the legs. We had to provision a portal for his tail to stick out. End of report.

Early Morning Photo ops in Jupiter, FL

img_2224_5_6_interior-3junobeach2016.09.30, Friday; I set the alarm for (0420 Saturday) so we could get on the road by 0530, hopping it wouldn’t be an overcast sunrise for a photo snapping session at the beach in Jupiter, FL. As it turns out, it was overcast. It was however, also very calm with almost no wind at all which is unusual. If anyone shoots photos at Blowing Rocks Preserve or anywhere in that area, they’ll know what I’m talking about. There is almost always a pretty good wind from the East, blowing sea spray right into their lens. The blowing rocks area in Jupiter, FL almost always gives up some nice photos and today I was lucky enough to get a few HDR and a few singles. As always, I shooting with my standard setup; Canon 5D MKII, Canon 17-40L, almost always shooting at the wide end of 17mm, iso 100, F22. Some times I play with the iso to speed up the shots a little if the sun is taking its time to come out. We ran into some other photographers there, and one just so happened get a shot of me standing in the middle of a wave-explosion while I was framing a shot. We exchanged our contact info and I’m just on standby, waiting for him to send me the picture, of which I will post here. Some day I will have a functional gallery somewhere in this domain space. If anyone knows of any other interesting SeaScape areas between Jupiter and Miami, FL, let me know. End of report, will report back when able

Which is your favorite method of taking kratom?

kratom-leafs-2Come on guys, lets hear everything you’ve got. What is your preferred method/amount? I read somewhere that 9 grams was the upper limit, and even then you may feel a little nauseous. On my first go at this, I used a whole tablespoon to make some very strong tea. I’ve got some serious lower back pain and that large dose really numbed the pain for about 6 hours, but it left me with a nasty hangover-style headache. Reading more on this, I see it was way over the normal dose to take. Should the amount very depending on the strain, of which there are too many to list/learn.
