The Mystery of Oak Island

The mystery of oak island is an old one. Is there a huge treasure hidden, a vast library, maybe the arc of the covenant, or is it just a joke placed here by aliens.

Every time I hear about oak island I am struck by how odd the whole mystery is. How no one can figure out where the water comes from to fill the money pit. All the artifacts found could have simply been dropped by past explorers as I am sure the current explorers drop artifacts of their adventures. Lives lost, countless dollars, and years of effort have only yielded a handful of coconut fiber, a few rocks, and a solitary coin. Hardly enough to keep spending money on such a venture.

This all points to the mystery of the island being some sort of joke. The question is if that joke is played by immortals or very long lived aliens who like playing with mice in a maze.

Gluten Free Dining Albany Oregon

Pizza
Pizza Now has the best gluten free crust, the best prices, and really fast service. Even without coupons this is one of the best pizza places in town.
Figaros A bit over priced and always takes at least half an hour to get your order but it is still pretty good.
Abby's pizza is a bit over priced and only has rather small gluten free pizzas. The service leaves something to be desired and the menu is structured poorly.

Mexican
Taqueria Alonzo
The place may not look like much from the outside but the food more than makes up for the atmosphere.
Los Dos Amigos Hacienda  
The parking lot may be a bit hard to get into but the food is good. Just talk over your order with the waiter before you get too far. There are lots of options though.
Mexico Lindo
This place looks as good on the outside as it tastes on the inside. Most everything on the menu is gluten free if you avoid the flour tortillas.

Fast Food
Rigoberto's 
Mexican food fast just don't order anything fried or in a wheat tortilla.
Muchas Gracias
Mexican food fast just don't order anything fried or in a wheat tortilla.
Other
Sam City If you react really bad to gluten then order the pho because it is kept in a separate area of the kitchen from any gluten. It never shows up with bread and is always good. For other items you need to ask the waiter.

Momiji This is decent sushi at a decent price.

Applebees They have a gluten free menu and I suggest consulting it before you order.

Gluten Free Dining Eugene Oregon

I am gluten free and have been for some time. Finding restaurants which will cater to my needs are rare and far between.

Twin Dragon in Eugene Oregon is the best Chinese food in Eugene. Yes you have to talk to the water to see which items can be made for you but the food is well worth the effort. If you are lucky enough to get the young male waiter and they aren't too busy grab a take out menu and have him go over the items with you. He is the one who knows the most about the menu. Mark the ones you would like to try even if you couldn't possibly try them all on the first visit. This way you know what to try till you have all your favorites down. I am a major fan of the Broccoli Beef and the Black Pepper Beef. I can't seem to get enough of those two dishes. I also take home any extra and add a few more bits of vegetables and rice at home to get another delicious meal and stretch out the experience.

I hope this helps you all to have a great food day.

Ebola is a Zombie outbreak cover up

Since this most recent ebola outbreak something has been gnawing at the back of my mind. Lots of people in white lab coats are telling us we are fine, people are dying but no one lets the public see them. All infected are locked away until they die. This being a "treatable" disease doesn't add up. We are only told of who is infected and that everything is fine. Not everything is fine. People are bleeding from their nose and mouth before death. We only get to see the before picture and never the after picture. No one mentions what is done with the dead. Noting makes sense.

Never trust when people in white lab coats tell you that everything is fine.

Lemon Trees Part 2

I re-potted my lemon trees and made a rather startling discovery about my possible coffee addiction.

That isn't even all the coffee cans I put plants in and I actually need more of them. At least I found a good use for old coffee cans.

I do my part when I fart

Finding out that since cows produce methane gas and that this gas is bad for the environment and helps cause global warming. Since I can't somehow destroy or disperse the gas created by cows I decided to focus more on the gas I produce. Now when I fart I light a match to help prevent global warming. This should be about as effective as those light bulbs I changed over to LEDs.

Just remember not to have that match too close when you let one go or you might burn your ass.

One Lemon Tree

I know I haven't been on in a while but things have been very complicated for me. After a recent loss I was walking and trying to clear my head. At my feet was a small bag of lemons. The lemons were in perfect condition so I picked them up. Laughing to myself about how my life has literally just given me lemons so I went home and made some lemonade. Looking at all the seeds on the counter I wondered about growing them to see what would happen. I quickly rinsed off the seeds and placed them in some soil.

A few months later I had some tiny lemon trees growing and though not much was better in my life I felt like I was at least accomplishing something. Now I need to use those lemon trees to try and get something more.
I wish for somewhere to live and will trade the lemon trees to get it. I would like a house in the forest. I am not too picky but I would love to live in the forest. Somewhere I can plant my redwood trees and allow us all to grow and prosper.

I will meet you to trade the trees.

They have grown a lot since this picture was taken a year ago but I am currently re potting them and will have an update soon.

Here are 6 of the trees. As I am sterilizing the soil one pan at a time in the oven you can see why I would only have a few of the trees done at a time.
