[Fresh Water Lens] To really understand why Big Pine Key has fresh water it is helpful to understand the geological profile of the island.
During this period, the reef of the Lower Keys was still under water and other calcium carbonate organisms formed a bank that eventually filled over the reef of the Lower Keys. These organisms are referred to as ooids. As sea level continued to become lower due to glaciation (ice ages), the surface rock of the Lower Keys was formed. The surface rock of the Lower Keys is called Oolitic Limestone. It is sometimes called Miami Limestone because the rock of the coastal ridge in Dade County is the same kind of rock, formed at the same time but to the east and north of the Keys. The rock formed as sea level continued to fall and hyuhjuuuweathered into the caprock of today.
Salt water is present in all the underlying rock. But because of the oolite, fresh water sits as a shallow lens on top of the saline water when the conditions are favorable. |

[Crooks] There is a computer program that will search the web for the source of any incoming email and pinpoint the source location. The cops and Fed use it, but you will have to search for a public copy. It works great and then you can go to the spamer’s location and rearrange a few leg bones. Capisce? |

[Energy Worries] Switzerland may have to ban the use of electric vehicles (EVs) if its current energy crisis worsens, as part of a new four-step plan to avoid power outages.
