Bioluminescent Waves Of Southern California!
There is a special type of plankton called "Dinoflagellates" that luminesce when disturbed. Apparently, they do this as a defense mechanism, so as not to be eaten, they glow a eerie blue green. On rare occasions, when there are enough of them in the water, they can cause the waves to luminesce as they crash. For the last week in Southern California at various times, and in various places, there were enough of them to make the waves light up! This video was recorded over the course of a week, at different locations in Long Beach, Seal Beach, Huntington Beach, and Newport Beach. It was recorded in complete darkness, the only light being the bioluminescence from the waves. I actually had no idea if it would show up well on the video, you can hear me in the first clips pointing it out, lol. Fortunately, Apple makes great iPhones. Please enjoy this only a couple of times in a lifetime event! Very Surreal...

T-128 Air Raid Siren, 4K HDR Stereo

Air raid sirens are mostly a thing of the past in California. During WWII, fearing an attack from the Japanese, California built a network of air raid sirens protecting coastal cities. When WWII ended, the system found new life in the cold war, and was maintained until ~1990. Most cities abandoned their civil defense sirens, but Huntington Beach still uses them. The sirens act as an early warni...

    I lived on a mineral spring area in Reno. The hot water would heat up our rooms. Every room had pipes going through them filled with the hot mineral water. Oh, it was so good for our hair and skin too! We cleaned the walls and tubs with bleach water. It's the only thing that works. As with every hot springs, you have to drain and clean the pools OFTEN

      There is a funny story here, Curtis Springer, the original proprietor of this place, billed his baths as "Hot Springs" when in fact, he had a bank of hot water heaters near the bath house. The water was from a spring though. People thought they were at a actual hot spring.

I’ll have to figure it out when I get to it. This thing is amazing.

    At the end of 8th grade I ran away from home and stay at Crystal Lake for two + months camping and hiding out from the Rangers (for not paying camp fees). LIVE at the amphitheater starring "SMOKEYYYYYYYY the Bear" July 4th weekend 1970!!!! It was amazing time to an 8th grader. I had two friends who were older and 1 of which drove, so they would hang out on weekends bringing up food. When we all were together we stayed in an Oasis tent by Coleman in the campground. The rest of the time I would just sleep under the stars hiding. I'll never forget that model tent, as it was made with a "NEW" material and was 8 x 10 and boy it was the best (at the time). Fishing was okay most of the time, hot during the afternoons unless it rained. I saw a couple of black bears and a cougar... the cougar scared the crap out of the three of us. As I recall, higher up the mountain was a Boy Scout camp called Deer Flats... at least that how I remember it and it was there where I had establish my base camp and we saw the cougar!!! YIKES!!! Because it was an "Organized Camp," unless a group was there, the place was empty and AWESOME. The road going up was gated closed unless the place was being used. The Rangers only went up to help the organized groups. Wow... Life was simpler, your mind wasn't bombarded with nonsense and BS.... your imagination was your biggest toy box, and each day seemed Tom Sawyer lazy. Oh to be a kid again BACK THEN!!!

    What's scary is that a computer close to this vintage was being used for air traffic control operations well into the 90s. I still remember what the reporter said ,"Just take a look at this computer. It has less memory than a laptop! In fact it is so old they can't purchase spare parts for it." HOPEFULLY, *this* is no longer the case but how much of our critical infrastructure is being held together with decades old computer equipment that it's near impossible to find documentation for, let alone spare parts or people who really know the system? :-(

      Did you know that Curtis Springer saved those Chubbs from extinction? He dug out that big lake and then put them in it, then their original spring dried up. That fish had probably been there for at least 150,000 years and in the last few seconds of its existence along comes someone that moves them to a new home…
