that's right it's shark week on the discovery channel.
i can't tell you how much otherwise useless information i've picked up today about sharks.
did you know that a short-fin mako shark has been clocked at speeds up to 31 mph and believed to be cable of speeds close to 70+ mph (though such numbers haven't been officially proven)?
or that oceanic white tip can sense changes in water temperature all the way down to the thousandth of a degree.
that's how they find their prey.
crazy huh?
the narrator gave the example like this:
we as humans can sense a drastic change in temperature like when sitting in a bath tub and a bunch of cold water gets dumped in but a white tip shark can sense a change equivalent to a couple ice cubes being dropped into one corner of an olympic sized pool.
God is so cool.
but before all of that i was waiting for my ferry while reading lewis present his thoughts of human laws of ethics, morals and otherwise.
lewis is one smart dude.
i, on the other hand, am probably gonna have to re-read that chapter to truly grasp what the man was laying down.
nevertheless God is so intelligent.
and before that louie giglio...
brilliant communicator.
i'm too tired right now to unload all that i've picked up from brother giglio.
yet despite my shortcomings God is still huge.
time to go change a load of laundry and go to bed.
tomorrow (actually later today now - i started this blog before midnight but now it's about 12:15) i go crabbin' with pops on the hood canal (which is actually not a canal at all but a naturally occurring saltwater fjord carved out by glaciers 15,000 years ago) and then i'm gonna go speluncking on the olympic penninsula.
until next time friends...
