Sometimes you gotta tell it
as it is even if the words make one think of something else, hmm? Sorry about
the slight mislead if you were thinking of pork or beef ones that is of ribs...ha!
The repeat pic from last
night is to show what the heck I am talking about in the construction sense,
and to be able to explain better. You see the ribs go all away across the
entire eight foot expanse for the new "L", the additional rib you see
might confuse you like it did me at first until Hubby explained it to me.
The outer one facing you/me is actually just a
temporary one attached to a PVC post that is not part of the new dock, but was
part of the old one, got that? Hubby lay
in the beginning boards to give the idea of where they will be going and nailed
down, and yes, they are eight footers. The total width of the dock is twenty
feet, and on the left side facing out it is still twenty-four feet in length
out into the canal, but not totally over it, got that? Part of, several feet
are actually over the seawall and yard as you can see in the last photo. This
way the dock is quite secure.
Moving on…
I was thinking, and that can
be dangerous, ha.
Nah, what I was thinking is
how we all believe that certain access programs through Google or whatever you use
are not as accurate as one would like.
Wiki, the free encyclopedia
that I use here frequently has been given a bad rap due its accuracy.
And I have even been known to
write my own disclaimer on where I receive my info stating that it might not
be correct, but I too like Wiki and I am free, free as a bird! Sorry got carried away!
Sixty-Minutes did a lovely
story this past Sunday on Wiki and its humble beginnings and that it is still not a
billion dollar company since it is entirely a non-profit with it also being
international and gaining so many different “Geeks”, the good, and very smart variety ones,
of course, adding in the info daily, from wherever they can access it, and oops
sure there have been mistakes and they are aware of them, and fix them when
they see them or are informed about them, what-have-you.
Personally, I have
enjoyed reading online all that they offer on so many diverse topics it reminds
me of my childhood looking up something in my own white and gold World Book
Encyclopedias, and turning the page to something I had no idea about and
reading that and the next thing that caught my fancy on the next page too and on and on I would go...
Oh joy, Wiki can have that
affect of contagion of wanting to click on their additional info while learning more
and more, and more that has more hot links within it, the time sure can fly
with those goings on, true?
Come on, admit it that you too have
submitted your curiosity to those additional links on Wiki.
The nice men who begun the seed
of the idea of the online encyclopedia actually had tried something else first,
but somehow and some way the now and forever Wiki was born, and I thank you,
“The
History of Wikipedia formally began with the launch of Wikipedia on
Monday 15 January 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry
Sanger; however, its technological and conceptual underpinnings predate
this. The earliest known proposal for an online encyclopedia was made by Rick Gates
in 1993,[2]
but the concept of a free-as-in-freedom online encyclopedia (as distinct from mere open source
or freemium)[3]
was proposed by Richard Stallman in December 2000.[4]”
