'Shark Lady' Eugenie Clark, Famed Marine Biologist, Has Died

LOVE HER! Aloha and mahalo for your dedication, courage and determination Eugenie. She received more than a dozen grants from the National Geographic Society, made several TV specials for the Society as well. She also famously taught then Crown Prince Akihito of Japan how to snorkel. But perhaps Clark will be most remembered for a courage driven by curiosity. Doubilet was with Clark in the Sea of Cortez when she rode the back of a 50-foot whale shark, the largest fish in the sea. He thought he would never see her again. She later called the ride one of the most exciting journeys of her career.

Small-Space Gardening

Growing food in small spaces can be fun and productive — you just need a little sunshine and some imagination.

My parents live in this town and the city legally can’t tear the tree down to build or anything because the tree has its own legal rights and they can’t do anything about it.

how does. how does this happen. how DID this happen

I love this story because this guy in the early 1800’s had so many great childhood memories of this tree and wanted to make sure it was protected no matter what. So he deeded the ownership of the tree to itself and everyone just went with it.

Then in 1942 this intense windstorm came and knocked the tree over. And people were bummed. But someone had saved an acorn from the original tree, so they planted that and now Son of the Tree That Owns Itself is over 50 feet tall.

And since this new tree is technically the offspring of the original tree it’s considered to have legally inherited the plot of land it’s inhabiting.

Two generations of trees owning land is amazing and if you don’t think this is the coolest thing get right out of my face.

Brilliant! My mom would love this
