Reason #1 Why I Love To Blog: The Science Textbook Used By Agore Found -- March 2, 2015

This was sent to me by a reader; it is quite fascinating. It appears global warming alarmists are nothing new. This article, from 1932, must have been from the book Agore read when he was in middle school. An excerpt:

This article is from The North American Review, p. 110, APA: The North American Review. London: Forgotten Books. (Original work published 1932) MLA:   The North American Review. August, 1932. Reprint. London: Forgotten Books, 2013.

Cool

From The Los Angeles Times:

Now you can enjoy your third daily cup of coffee and feel healthy while you do it: According to a new study, that third cup of joe may be good for your heart.

Researchers found that people who drink between three and five cups of coffee a day are likely to have less coronary artery calcium (CAC) than those who drink no coffee at all.
They also found a correlation between people who drink between one and three cups of coffee a day and a reduced prevalence of CAC, according to a paper published Monday in the journal Heart. 

Participants who drank between three and five cups of coffee a day had the lowest prevalence of CAC with a calcium ratio of .59. Those who drank less than one cup a day had a calcium ratio of .77. Those who drank one to three cups a day had a ratio of .66. And among those who drank more than 5 cups a day, the ratio was .81.

The authors write that their study adds to a growing body of evidence that the moderate consumption of coffee is good for heart health.

A Note to the Granddaughters

This is kind of fun -- great memories. The Huffington Post highlight fifteen (15) naval stations, air bases, or army posts once could be assigned.

Our family was assigned to #13, Incirlik Air Base, Turkey, for two years.

I was on temporary duty any number of times, #11, at Moron Air Base, Spain, where we bought genuine Seville steel (at inflated prices?).

I visited #1, Marine Corps Base Hawaii, only once.

My wife lived at #4, US Army Garrison Stuttgart, for several years while growing up with her military dad. We visited the post a number of times when we were assigned to Germany many years later.

Of course, it should go without saying, we've visited #5, Miramar, any number of times.

Our son-in-law was assigned to Joint Base Chaleston, South Carolina, #12, just before he separated from the service.

I have a long story about visiting #14, Naval Support Activity Naples, Italy, when I was in college, but that story can wait for another time.
