My View of Life on the Dock
You find beauty in the most unlikely of places in Gloucester. As I pulled in to a parking spot in Destino’s parking lot I noticed some really beautiful flower boxes. Kudos to them!

This morning I shot down to Cruiseport to grab you guys some video aboard the first of the Tall Ships, The Peacemaker. A bunch of video is coming but I thought I’d upload this quickie while the other videos are processing. The Peacemaker is a ship that is run as a commune and supported by the Twelve Tribes.
We will be covering Schooner Festival all weekend long so keep checking back for a ton of updates.
Let’s Get This Party Started!!!!!!!!

Live it up kid. Remember what I told you- you have that blank canvas- paint a beautiful picture.
This from China-
Hello All from Qufu, China!
I just wanted to let all of you know that you can keep up with my travels in India, China and hopefully South East Asia through my blog: www.charleebeth.wordpress.com. I’ll have the first few entries up by Friday afternoon, I’m hoping. If there are any other updates I want to pass along West, I will most likely be sending them to this group list. If you’d like to be taken off of the list, please let me know.
Also, here is my address here in Qufu. I would love to hear any news from home you guys are willing to pass along.

Follow the boys as they are ready to set a new world record.
To paraphrase W.C. Fields, “I don’t drink water, because fish screw in it.”
To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine.. .
and those who don’t.
As Ben Franklin said:
In wine there is wisdom,
in beer there is freedom,
in water there is bacteria.
In a number of carefully controlled trials,
scientists have demonstrated that if we drink
1 liter of water each day,
at the end of the year we would have absorbed
more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli , (E. coli) – bacteria
found in feces.
In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop..
However,
we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer
(or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor)
because alcohol has to go through a purification process
of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.
Remember:
Water = Poop,
Wine = Health.
Therefore, it’s better to drink wine and talk stupid,
than to drink water and be full of crap.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information:
Good Morning Gloucester
