Crab and Lion...

This photo made me smile.

Arnold is a Leo, and Sly is a Crab.

Their body language is so funny here.

Arnold seems to be the boisterous Leo, and Sly is the skeptical and reserved Crab.

Notice that Arnold's body language is open, whereas Sly's is closed.

It seems as tho Sly knows something, and is keeping his shell on.

haha! Love it! Sly is keeping his cards close, reading Arnie like a book and filing info away while smiling politely. Classic

we were just watching "the expendables" last week..... i said to my husband, "that's an action film right? with a bunch of old guys taking revenge?"
lol he said, uh don't mistake that for "R.E.D" lmao

Arnold & Sly are in it. 😄

Too bad azzes right here lol. They'll both fuq you up haha. But seriously, Leo & Cancer make a great team 😉

aquavita quit worrying lol. Things aren't going to get that bad. Plus America got plenty of water. Especially in my state of Louisiana. Water bills aren't that high unless you got swimming pools & water the grass everyday lol. I think we good over here

Aqua, most of the fracking that goes on here in the US are in areas that don't have much going on for it, just barren desert. I have seen places that were still able to grow cotton, etc. (depending on the area and what will grow there) despite the oil wells. Fracking is very deep and below the surface of the land, it's not at the top where they plant. The basic premise behind it is they have the main well shaft that goes straight down (vertical) and then they go horizontal and use hydrolic pressure to create small fractures in the substrate that will help the oil, gas, etc. to reach the main well more easily. This is also a technique that is used for water wells, to get more water to the well. It's been going on since the late 1940's with much success.

With that said, I DO think there should be some common sense used in the where and why of the use of fracking. It would be foolish not to take into account nearby natural environmental factors that it might interfere with. For instance, it might be a bad idea to frack in the middle of wetlands.

Off Course aquavita. You can come to Louisiana any time 🙂. The Donuts and coffee sounds great too if we hang out one day. Although im a sweet tea guy. I don't too much like coffee. Im glad I could make you feel better. Im here if you need to talk. You have a great Sunday too

Rocky Marathon started without me!
Happy the lake is crowded. Now I have an excuse to stare at Sly!

Feeling defeated so its kinda on time!

Thanks lol, I appreciate it. Next time, ill use Private message. But yeah, are always welcomed down here in Louisiana. We got good Cajun & Soul food down here. You can have any coffee you like, but im sticking to the donuts like them cops lol. We got good Donuts down here too. So don't worry, you take care of yourself ok.

Lol its ok. Yeah my Grandma is a Gemini. We get along greatly too. Like idk where I would be without her. My Mom is a Sagittarius & my dad is a Capricorn. I could see myself dating a Gemini or a watery Sagittarius. Anyways, things are good over here. Its summer time, so Im happy. Sure we can have sweet lemon tea if you like, its good. Hugs to you my good friend. I'll be around, if you need a good talk or encouragey. Your grandmas would be proud 🙂

2012 ohio 31 st dec first offiially closed fracking wells in ohio offical news. confirmed causing mulitple(thousands) of earthquakes. fracking is wrong and it s done in wetlands nowadyas. since 1940 s expanded to everywhere. I m glad it s finally in offical news and there s public concern raised. wyoning just had 3 victims few weeks ago. dont have time righrighnow moonartist I want to believe you it s nice if it was true but not the way I know it and I have seen it and .... Now they talking about "value of nature". this wolrd is changing and water is not enough. too muhc contamination. fraxking does cauze masive leaks earthquakes and is not creating any jobs. natural gas became a big thing few years ago proclaimed as the "environmental" solution. not sure which is lesser evil coal or frakcing but no wodner the electric car was "killedl in the 50s someone has interest and it s not about nature. but $ $ $ . it is sad truth. so..I want to believe u Moonartist and may be if I do it will be true. the american indianasw (natives) had a saying: it only can be true when all people believe the same truth and have the sane dream. eliis thewolfman uszed tht when he was talking about wolf preservationn. as sad he was to admit he said: all I have to do is wait till all people dream the saving of the wolves. ok gotta go I will reread again... what u wrote. I think may be I believe the wrong things so I see the wrong thing. hwoever wildlife bridges(bridges for wildlife to cross)..I d like to see more of those. they rfe bridges over highways all grassed up and wildilife USES it to cross . here I guess there are 3 but I dont undertsand whre cnada hs some florida and mass have some undergorund for turtles and switzerland I was told is huge on wildlife bridges. thsi is what I call "civilzation" and "progress". hugs

There really hasn't been enough studying of fault lines and fracking. On the one hand it MAY cause earthquakes, on the other hand, what are the pros and cons if it does? For instance, the cons are obvious: earthquakes could cause damage and death. The pro could be the potential to use fracking to ease pressure stress in faults that are due for a much bigger earthquake. I'm in California and earthquakes are just a fact of life here. I live on the San Andreas fault which is a very large fault line that runs along most of California's length. When we have lo

I live on the San Andreas fault which is a very large fault line that runs along most of California's length. When we have lots of small 3-5 magnitude quakes it's actually a good thing because it means the pressure along the faults is being released. It's when we have long periods of time with relatively no activity that we start to worry about "the big one". Now, what if we could use fracking to dispel the pressure on faults that are prone to having a very large quake? It's a theory, an idea, but it has some potential.

Here's the problem with electric energy vs. natural gas. Everyone touts electric energy to be the saving grace of the environment and a way to get away from mining, well drilling, etc, but unless you live in an area that has a natural source for generating electricity without generators (like living on a huge river that can use a hydroelectric dam) you will use gas powered generators to create the electricity. So, that electric car might not need to go to a gas station but the power plant is using huge amounts of gas to create the energy needed to power the electric car. The more we rely on electricity, the more we need to generate and that usually uses gas, unless you have an area that can harness solar, wind or water. Most places can't harness those things reliably. It's not as easy a solution to come up with as some would have us believe.

haha cute observation

Agreed. Some people think that the solutions to a lot of the worlds problems are very simple but they're not. Actually as in terms of energy wise they are looking into harnessing biofuel from algae, which can produce tons of energy and might be a cleaner and efficient form. They yield about 2,500 gallons of biofuel per acre per year, which is a lot more than lets say soybean (48 gallons) or corn (18 gallons) . The perks with this also is that they don't require arable land so they don't compete with our food crops for land they can be produced almost anywhere.

Of course more research and study is still being done.

LOL and don't even get me started on eating fresh food what people don't realize (in US) for everyone to be feed a all green diet the amount of time energy and land it takes, not to mention crops have to be rotated to replenish minerals. There are 314 million people in the US, and 3.8 million sq feet of US soil, not to mention the majority of that land is not farmable. And people are fighting for organic healthy food when they really should ask themselves WHERE are we going to make all of this free range organic? And if not possible WHO gets only the good healthy stuff. I'm all for health foods but *smh* sometimes be people don't ask the big questions they just assume it's done by a wave of a magic wand.

@aquavita I thought you was done with the Cancer board & you didn't need us anymore? What made you change your mind? Just wondering

I've read about the algae into biofuel and I think it's amazing, but it's frustrating how slow it seems to be moving towards being more mainstream. I guess no matter what little progress forward we make it should still be viewed as a step in the right direction.
