Taking my octopus and shark out for a walk
For those of you who are tired of the government pushing their way into controlling your life and your decisions, it is nice to take a break and go diving.

If you just woke up and wondered – did we suddenly become Greece?
In honor of us becoming Greece, here is a dive photo taken near in the volcano inside Santorini’s bay. So why are we now Greece: 12 million+ Americans won’t go back to work; Socialists run the country; we are heading toward hyperinflation, that the Fed seems unwilling or unable to control, probably couldn’t control anything…

Lycopene: Seagate tomato farming – Fall 2019
Seagate has been farming tomatoes and converting them into lycopene since 1997. Lycopene has many benefits for prostate health, high antioxidant activity, and is an excellent super-vegetable to be taking on a regular basis.

Sometimes farming has its issues
Seagate has been farming since 1997. Most of the time things go smoothly and the vegetables and trees produce without any problem. However, we also face many challenges: summer daytime temperatures regularly stay above 100F; we farm in a very dry climate; there are occasional very high winds exceeding 80 mph during the Santa Ana…
