Beach Walkway / Burnsland List of Relevance
Beach Walkway
It is a proven fact that summer is coming. Of course, that’s hard to imagine on a morning when our thermometer at home read 10 degrees. That’s just one degree away from single digits. But either way, it is cold.
So here is a nice, dreamy summer scene - a walkway across the dunes to Cocoa Beach, Florida. Turn the heat up, put on some shades, and stare at this for a while. And it will probably still be cold outside.

The Burnsland List of Relevance for 2/6-2/12
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night can keep the Burnsland List of Relevance from coming. However, large sums of cash just might do the trick.
- Abraham Lincoln - Tomorrow will be the 202nd birthday of the Great Emancipator. I must have missed the 200th birthday celebration with the big birthday hat on Mount Rushmore.
- Thomas Edison - Today is the 164th birthday of the Wizard of Menlo Park. I wonder if he ever dreamed that the phonograph would lead to DJ Jazzy Jeff scratching on the turntables?
- Ronald Reagan - Last Sunday was the 100th birthday of The Gipper. I love the guy, but should we put him on Mount Rushmore? Should we add Mona Lisa’s sister, Francine, to her painting?
- Captain Jack Sparrow - Sorry, I ran out of birthdays. So how about a summer movie blockbuster tie-in instead?
- Snow - Sorry, I tried to go a week without mentioning snow. But it just keeps on coming back around. At least it melts.
- Football - It’s over. What will we watch on TV until the fall?
- Yellow - Did you ever realize that “yellow” is “wolley” spelled backwards? I bet they didn’t teach you that in school.
- Burt Reynolds - It’s his birthday today too, actually. Yeah, I got nothing.
