Here on the ranch we had ham,smoked prime rib, turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes,corn,bean casserole, stuffing,cranberry salad,celery sticks with dip, apple pie,pumpkin pie, and cookies.

The Island of Bermuda



Pink Sand Beaches


Six hundred miles (1070 kilometers) east of North Carolina lies the island of Bermuda. It is a world class banking center and a popular tourist destination. Bermuda is made up of 138 small islands. Bermuda is a popular tourist destination and is known for it’s pink sand beaches.

History

Bermuda was originally discovered in 1503 by Spanish explorer Juan de Bermudez. It became a replenishment point for ships from 1503 until 1609. In 1609, The Venture, the flagship for a flotilla of ships headed for Jamestown was wrecked on the island. The survivors claimed the island for England and it became part of the holdings of the Virginia Company.

During the 17th century farming was implemented but with limited success. In the 18th century the islands turned to maritime trades. During the 19th century it was turned into a British fortress. During the American Civil war, confederate blockade runners used the islands as a base.

During the second world war, Bermuda was the staging point for convoys going to England. The United States leased land and built an airport that was used by British, United States, and Canadian military until it was closed in 1995. A satellite tracking station was built and maintained by the US military.

An International airport was built and tourism and banking became the main industries.

Climate

The island sits in the gulf stream which keeps the island warm. Hurricanes are always tracking around the islands but because of the small size rarely cause too much damage.

Rain is the only source of water so every building is designed to collect water and send it to storage tanks.


Government

The capital is Hamilton and the islands are one of the oldest British territories. Approximately 66,536 people live on the islands. The standard of living is high and the average house is close to a million dollars.

Pine Mountain Evening

It is evening once more and I am relaxing here on Pine Mountain in my easy chair in front of the fireplace. The gas fueled fire in the fireplace takes the chill off the mountain evening. Squeekers my African Grey parrot is sitting on his perch munching peanuts. I am relaxing with my coffee from http://www.coffeefool.com/. Tonight I am trying Blueberry cinnamon swirl. This coffee has a distinct taste of blueberries and cinnamon mixed with coffee. It goes well with almost all deserts. It is just the right drink for a cold evening. Squeekers and I have been watching another Sci fi series called Highlander. Both my coffee and my TV show are over now. It has been a long day. I put Squeekers in his cage, turn off the gas fireplace, and head upstairs to bed. Good night all. See you next week.
