Quote from Simon Lucus, Chief of the Nuu Cha Nulth Aboriginal people on the west coast of Vancouver Island Canada
If the water can no longer support the salmon, if the land can’t support the deer and bear, then why do we think it will support us.

This is an eight part series of Dr. Albert A Bartlett. This is a video what I call, a must watch. It is about eighty minuets so be prepared for some insight, and more questions on how our world is going to proceed at this alarming rate of expansion for the need of energy and our exploding population. The video is called -- THE MOST IMPORTANT VIDEO YOU’LL EVER SEE. The reason for the name is he is trying to get people to watch it. It is unbelievable how simple math looks at the future of our world, if we keep going at this incredible rate of use of our natural resources.

Did you know that only twenty percent of the population brushes their teeth regularly (at least once daily) and only ten percent of those people floss on a regular basis! Unclean teeth lead to more colds and flues.

My numbers for pushups and crunches are good I am ahead on those, I was pushing myself the last month to do the one hundred and fifty a day non-stop. The last few pushups are not pretty but how else do you force your body to push through and build the muscle.
Still have a few Kilometers, thirty-seven to be exact, to make the sixteen hundred km. of walk, run, swim or bike. Those numbers will be there by the end of the year.
Did not get as far in Gojo-Shorei cane as planned but I did add this in July. This will be UBBT 8’s goal, to study the cane through to black belt.
Blogging is still a bit of a roadblock for me; I don’t have the gift of the gab, but working on it.
Learning to fly fish is still on the agenda, went out a few times this year still not good at it, but it is a learning process. A lot of good came out of putting it on my to do list, as it was a reason to get out with family on some camping trips.
Scuba diving was good this year finished a few courses, Search and Recovery Diver, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Underwater Navigator, and Emergency First Response. More plans for next year.
Meditation of ten minuets a day is on track thirty-three hundred minuets.
Taught Tai Chi Sword form and Cane strike and block set.
I feel it was a good fun year.
