May 31, 2013 – Driving comes with a huge responsibility. It’s not just about drinking and driving, it’s about being distracted while behind the wheel. A car/truck is a powerful weapon when used in an irresponsible or aggressive, immature, or distracted manner.

The ocean is a fascinating world, but our weak eyes and poor senses can only take in the largest things in it. I used to love sitting in a lab at Bamfield Marine Station and staring at the contents of a drop of seawater and seeing the microscopic world visible only through a microscope.
