Gloriou5 #8 - Mosquito Net Suits, Zen Bubbles and $1200 Lost Rubber Ducks
Scuba diving through the depths and pipes of Al Gore's magical internet I found foolproof mosquito fighting fashions, 19,000 lost at sea swimming rubber duckies, time traveling vacations and giant beach bubbles. Summer is definitely in full swing, and so is this Gloriou5. Enjoy:
When there just isn't enough mosquito spray in all the Gulf Coast, you know have the fool proof full-body mosquito net jumpsuits from Japan.

19,000 of these "Made In China" rubber duckies were on their way from China to the U.S. fell overboard and were lost at sea. 15 years and 17,000 nautical miles later these bathtub buddies have been a research gift for scientist, oceanographers, and meteorologists. I think these rubber ducks are tougher than Scott Tindles WWII Gulf Coast Ducks. Next time you are at the beach keep an eye out for one of these tenacious world travelers (they have a First Years Inc. marking), it seems these toys are a popular with collector's on Ebay and can be worth 1200 dollars.

Why Am I obsessed with this little youtube video? I uncovered a personal oasis of serenity that makes me feel something and moves me to share it with others. Whatever this right mixture of other-wordy floating bubble visuals and atmospheric landscape music is, it gives me a sense of calm and peace. Does anyone get a peaceful calm from this glorious moment of Youtube Zen. (Source: Dustin Skye)
