ByDerek

The author of the YouTube video I posted in my last Aquarama post directed me towards another of his videos. The end of this video shows two shots of the Aquarama/Marine Star being scrapped in Aliaga, Turkey. It truly is no more.

Looks like Ethanol isn’t the answer to the global warming problem. Then again, what’s the problem? Canada is concerned about global cooling. I know, I know. Since we can’t quite agree on what the problem is we should be trying to solve, we can just generalize it and call it “global climate change.” Because dammit,…
