The Sunday Sound: Maine, "the way life should be."

Me and B rockin' Marginal Way.
As Brian and I crossed the border into Maine, the welcome sign informed us that Maine holds the key to "the way life should be." To which my lovely husband replied, "F*** you, Maine! You can't tell me how to live!"

I'm sure you can see why we got married.

We decided to spend our Saturday in Ogunquit, Maine, a "Beautiful Place by the Sea." Brian was a bit leery of being surrounded on all sides by geriatric white people (with the exception of a geriatric version of Arsenio Hall), but on the whole, it was an absolutely stunning town. We walked up and down Marginal Way, a footpath which connects Perkins Cove to Ogunquit Beach and spans a little more than a mile of rocky Atlantic coastline. (Though the video quality is rough [iPhone couldn't keep up!], I captured a few seconds of the kind of stuff we were looking at. Check it out.)

Somewhere along the way, I decided to record some ocean sounds (because what is at all stereotypical about that?!). Soon after I pressed RECORD, the stormy New England weather reminded Brian of the tsunamis in Southeast Asia. I had never before seen the horrifying footage of these natural disasters, but we later found this video: 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami. I suppose it's a bit discordant to include something so tragic in my post about our quaint little day trip, but isn't it amazing that something so gorgeously tranquil can simultaneously be so ragingly destructive?

This is awful informatics, brittle and clear. I anticipate that Everything has been declared in analytical address so that clairvoyant could get best advice and apprentice abounding things. This is one of the best blogs I accept read.

I have seen very superior documentaries of the Asian Tsunamis in the past. This is not one of them. Its more a study on Tsunamis and how they are created.

I agree with you that tsunami waves that came in Southeast Asia were destructive and we can't imagine that in such a less time it can distract the whole world.Even sometimes when I visit such places I am afraid of sounds

Ogunquit is the most fantastic place, this is best place for vacation destination for every season. In Winter there are lots of exciting things happens like Mardi Gras, ice skating, and the opportunity to pamper yourself with a spa treatment.

I don't think this tsunami is scheduled to reach there yet and hopefully it will not amount to anything but can someone keep us posted on what the status is down there once it comes flooding, damage, airport problems, etc.?

I stopped by Tsunami after work for a quick drink and bite to eat. I sat at the bar and the bartender was awesome.

Much like any other water waves, tsunamis are reflected and refracted by the topography of the seafloor near shore and by the configuration of a coastline.

Don't forget about saving for retirement-- remember, the most powerful force on the planet is compound interest. To lose 4 years is not insignificant.
