Do they have to be "short" comments? LOL! Just blogging by to say HI! Feel free to stop by and say HI!


I ran across this video and thought it was interesting enough to post here. I have heard about this lake before and even seen an episode of Survivor where the winners of a reward challenge got to go to this lake and swim with the Jellyfish. It is really an incredible sight to see let alone swim with them.
Here is what I found searching for info on this lake:
Jellyfish Lake is a well-known dive site in the Pacific island of Palau. It is one of the rock islands, a series of small, rocky, uninhabited archipelagos off the coast of Koror. Jellyfish Lake is completely isolated, but in the distant past it had an outlet to the ocean. The outlet was closed off and the high jellyfish population was isolated and started to feed on quickly-reproducing algae. Over millions of years, it became an advantage for the jellyfish to lose their stinging cells, or nematocysts. Today, the very high jellyfish population are stingless, and tourists can enjoy swimming with them much closer than would be possible anywhere else.
At night the jellyfish descend into a layer of hydrogen sulfide which is found below 15-20m of depth. SCUBA diving in the lake is prohibited to avoid disturbing the jellyfish and also to reduce the risk of hydrogen sulfide poisoning.
I think I could keep posting these songs from ELO but I think part 3 will be enough for now. Such great memories of years past from these songs. "Last Train to London" is very Disco-ish..... and I was never heavy into Disco but it's still a good song. The song "Calling America" was ELO's last Top 40 hit single here in the States. I have to say that I don't remember it being that big back then and had forgotten about it until I saw this video. It must have only reached #39 or something.. There you go!!! A Great Band!!! Electric Light Orchestra... Look them up sometime when browsing in a music store or something.
Ahhhh.... One of my all time favorites from (ELO) Electric Light Orchestra. Mr. Blue Sky is such a happy feel good song that whenever I hear it I have to stop and listen to it. ELO has so many great hits that I will have to look up some more for another post here shortly. What brought me to this post is the recent usage of this song on one of my favorite tv shows, CSI Las Vegas (Bottom Video). I don't know how many times I have heard this song used in numerous things and that goes to show you just how popular this 30 year old song is. You Gotta Love it... Enjoy
