| Curiosity Room Montage. |
Oddities and curiosities, researched or not, lay around the room providing food for thought.
No matter where I look it seems I find an uncompleted project or an item that I forgot.

At the very top left of the montage is a Dr. S. Pitcher's Castoria bottle. Seeing it made me wonder if it was in my tgbottlebarn blog site. I checked, and it wasn't, so I just took a few new photos and put it in my tgbottlebarn blog site. It is a pretty early bottle, as you will see.

I was looking at the blog data and trying to figure out why thousands of people were reading old posts in the treaurebeachesreport.blogspot.com site yesterday. It undoubtedly got a mention somewhere big, but in the process I rediscovered what I thought was an excellent post. More often than not I'm discouraged by finding typographical errors or something when I read old posts, but this one surprised me by how good it was. Maybe I wasn't awake yet. Anyhow, I found a great link to tons of great information on Spanish Colonial boats in that post that I thought should be mentioned again. Here is it.

You don't often find a complete symposium published online, but there it is. Don't neglect the reference lists at the end of each section. I should add this one to my reference list.

Some activity showing up on the National Hurricane Center map. Time of the year to watch for treasure storms.
Nothing but one or two foot surf predicted for the next few days though.
Good hunting,
