Google Street View Hitting Florida Beaches



As part of an 825 mile project to take photos of Florida beaches, Google Street View trekkers are hitting the beaches this week at Clearwater Beach, Caladesi Island, Anclote Key and Honeymoon Island. Two photographers are hiking the beaches carrying 40 pound backpacks with 15 camera lenses that take photos every 2.5 seconds. The result will be millions of photos all woven together to create the ability to virtually walk the beach from your computer while never leaving home. Pretty cool!

Victory Is Sweet

Today, the America's Cup race in San Francisco were fast, furious and exciting. If you are a Team USA fan, you'll be happy to know The Cup is staying right here in the United States. Oracle Team USA sailed their way to sweet victory and won the 34th America’s Cup over Team New Zealand. Oracle won the last 8 races in a row to clinch the race series and solidify one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history. With futurist designs and new lightweight materials, the 72ft catamarans hit speeds over 50 mph.  Complete with fixed wings for sails, carbon fiber materials, hydrofoils to lift the hulls above the water...the boats seem like vessels from the future. Who knows how fast they'll be sailing in the next few years.  Congratulations to the Oracle Team USA sailors for never giving up and bringing home the win!

Catch The Harvest Moon



Long before electric lights, farmers needed to extend their workdays by gathering their crops by moonlight. It was the only way they could find the extra window necessary to harvest everything in time for the market. The full moon closest to the autumnal equinox became known as the “Harvest Moon”. You can check out the spectacular Harvest Moon tonight as it rises just after sunset. In the northern hemisphere, the autumnal equinox lands on September 22 this year. So…just a few days left of summer!
