And don't forget these— they will keep you limber—
here are some data about back exercises... these will help you keep your spine strong and limber... establish a pattern to do these every day, or every other day, if you can—
shrugs- shrug your shoulders all the way up, then move them all the way back, then bring them down... do this slowly, ten times...
side bend neck stretch- tuck your right arm behind your back, put your left hand on the top of your head, with your left hand on your head, pull your left ear down to your left shoulder, hold for five seconds, then rotate chin to left shoulder for an additional five seconds... do this five times, then do it all over on the right side for five times... repeat on both sides one more time for a set of five... (two sets of five times on each side...)
rhomboid stretch- sit with your ankles touching... lean forward and cross your arms straight over your legs, then widen your legs at the knees... hold the stretch for 10 seconds and repeat 10 times...
long sitting trunk rotation- sit with your left leg straight and bend your right leg across your left leg, basically where your right ankle will be on top of your left knee... put your left hand on your right knee, then turn around and reach behind you with your right hand... hold this stretch for 10 seconds... complete two sets of five reps on both the right and left sides...

Like many people posting here we love where we live and to be able to walk out to places like this is wonderful. The land on this part of the coastline is owned by the National Trust and it is part of the South West Coastal Path. What a lovely area of the Devon coast! You are fortunate to live so near.

In case you missed my posts in "Charity Link" and "All Dogs Go To Heaven": This coming April, Pippin & I will be walking the American Cancer Society's "Relay for Life" to raise funds. If interested in supporting us, please go to the following link. I thank you in advance for your support. http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RFLFY09EA?px=8801537&pg=personal&fr_id=13943 BTW: When I take Pippin for a walk around the neighborhood, Eddy the Cat likes to tag along. Sometimes he lags behind, other times he sprints ahead of us as an "advance scout". People in the neighborhood get a real kick out of it.

We've been putting up tsunami inundation zone signs, only problem is people have been stealing the signs...

I'm more interested in a more regional cause related to the subduction zone that bunni boi and I share along our coast.

Through wet years and dry the lake levels rise and fall and when they rise, the trees die as their roots drown (except for cypress trees whose roots put out "knees" above the water level so they can breathe). When scuba divers first started to explore Lake Tahoe they were surprised to find the stumps of trees over 100 feet below the surface, evidence of droughts much more severe than the one's we are currently undergoing.
