Time elapsed video of Arctic ice sheet melting
Here's new NASA satellite video showing the astounding loss of Arctic sea ice.
From NASA: The 2007 Arctic summer sea ice has reached the lowest extent of perennial ice cover on record - nearly 25% less than the previous low set in 2005.
The area of the perennial ice has been steadily decreasing since the satellite record began in 1979, at a rate of about 10% per decade. But the 2007 minimum, reached on September 14, is far below the previous record made in 2005 and is about 38% lower than the climatological average. Such a dramatic loss has implications for ecology, climate and industry.
Sea ice is frozen seawater floating on the surface of the ocean. Some sea ice is semi-permanent, persisting from year to year, and some is seasonal, melting and refreezing from season to season. The sea ice cover reaches its minimum extent at the end of each summer and the remaining ice is called the perennial ice cover.

Bad few weeks
Actually a bad few weeks, Rick is having to have some tests done to see what is wrong with his stomach, our fridge went out and last night the washer went out! It's been a stressful few weeks, but still haven't let it get to me-almost!
I found this funny video-poor woman!

Another Birthday...
Sunday was my birthday and I spent the day relaxing and watching movies. I spent Friday thru Tuesday relaxing and doing nothing! It was nice and refreshing.
My friend Ginger came up Saturday after her 5 mile Heart Walk and spent the day with me and didn't leave til Sunday. It was a nice visit since we hadn't seen each other in a long time.
Tuesday it was back to work and we have a few events coming up this week and next so I have been busy.
I hope everyone is having a great week :)
