“I’ve accomplished everything I wanted out of life, like way beyond my wildest dreams. Anything from here on is just icing. Seriously, if you find out that I died tomorrow, I’m fine. Don’t be sad for me, because I’m not sad. I died with a smile on my face.” -Ryan Dunn

You are a bad-ass.
Me (left) and my best friend Hayley (right) decided to get “meet me in montauk” on a whim after joking about it for a while. We’re both obsessed with the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and how it’s about forgetting and restarting. Also, another reason is that our favorite band is Bayside and because of their song “Montauk.” Done by Timmy Ickes at Paragon Tattoo in Altoona, PA.
Earth from Space: Deep South Delta
This Landsat image of 3 October 2011 shows the Mississippi River Delta, where the largest river in the United States empties into the Gulf of Mexico. In this false-colour image, land vegetation appears pink, while the sediment in the surrounding waters are bright blue and green. The delta is known as the ‘bird-foot’ delta because of the shape created by the channels extending outward.
The size of the Mississippi River Delta built over millions of years owing to sediment deposition. The tons of sediment carried by the river system created the wetlands in southern Louisiana, which are home to many endangered species and help to protect the mainland from hurricane winds by acting like speed bumps.
Over the last several decades, however, the delta’s sediment load has been drastically reduced by natural and man-made factors. Extensive oil and gas extraction causes the subsidence of the delta and wetlands, and rising sea levels increase erosion as the fresh water vegetation dies due to the influx of salt water.
