The U.S. military is investing in a new technology. They recently gave a grant to study the feasibility of developing bioluminescence. This is the light that is common in fireflies and other animals. The light does not create heat which is important to the military.

Plans for the new light are being made. It could have a number of uses including lighting landing zones and marking friendly forces. I hope that the military can figure out how to take advantage of Mother Nature and use it for good.

I love to fish and its usually by myself. I usually go every other weekend. I pack my stuff the night before and all I have to do is get dressed and start planning Home Security. It is very relaxing after a week of working. My job is stressful and it feels good to go fishing on the weekends. I started taking my son with me last week. He had never really fished much before. I set his fishing pole up and we were fishing on my boat. It was hard for him to leave the line still, so we started fishing for bass. He reeled the line in several times, and did not even really know what it felt like to have a bite. Once he reeled in the line and the pole started tugging. He did not know what to do. I helped him reel it in and it took some work. He had a very small fishing pole made for kids. The bass he caught was 15 inches long. That was on his first time ever trying to fish. He was so excited to take that fish home to mom. She cooked it up for him, and he was very proud of the fact that he brought home dinner for the family. I can not wait to see what he will catch next time.
