The Ribs Are In!


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]

 On that note of not assuming all things are bad or good for that matter, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know whom and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

Which way will the war go?
