Blog about family history or genealogy and human interest stories. All of the Josephs were prospectors and I have decided to make that a theme in this blog.

Hidden Treasure.

"Begin it where warm waters halt
And take it in the canyon down,
Not far, but too far to walk.
Put in below the home of Brown."
So far, the best anyone seems to have gotten out of him is that the treasure is more than 300 miles west of Toledo, not in Nevada, and more than 5,000 feet above sea level "in the Rocky Mountains. (Santa Fe, whose Sangre de Cristo mountains mark the start of the Rockies, is 7,260 feet above sea level.)
But he emphasizes two things: He never said the treasure was buried, and he never said it was in Santa Fe, or even New Mexico for that matter.
Nietzel says the most common place the clues about "where warm waters halt" first lead people is to Eagle Nest Lake, about 100 miles north of Santa Fe, because it has a dam that holds back warm water and is known for its brown trout.
Others are sure it must be in Yellowstone, because of Fenn's history there and his deep knowledge of the park.

Broken Cheeseburger

"Our waitress came back over and I felt bad. I don't really expect people to understand these special requests, so I just told her to add a new burger to our bill," said MacLean. "I just told her to charge it to us and she said, 'No way.' She was just so sweet and played along with Arianna."
The Chili's server, Lauren Wells,
didn't hesitate before leaning down to personally apologize for the
broken burger and assured Arianna she would bring her a brand new fixed
one.
"The manager came over and did the same thing. It was really a big deal.
The line cooks even got involved," MacLean said. "When she brought it
back out, Arianna said 'Oh, thank you! You brought me a fixed
cheeseburger.' She sat there and looked at it and said 'Oh I missed
you,' and kissed it over and over again."
MacLean was so touched by the staff's compassion and understanding that
something as minor as a cut-in-half cheeseburger would be enough to ruin
Arianna's whole day that she snapped a photo of Arianna giving the
cheeseburger a kiss and uploaded it to Facebook along with a brief description of how well the restaurant handled the situation.

Gold seams form in an earthquake-powered flash.
http://www.newscientist.com/mobile/article/dn23284-gold-seams-form-in-an-earthquakepowered-flash.html
Geologist John Muntean
at the University of Nevada in Reno, says the results are "very
credible". The link between earthquakes and gold deposits is not new,
says Muntean. "But this paper quantifies the amount of pressure drop,"
he says, "and it ties it into gold solubility and why that pressure drop
could drop out all of the gold in the hydrothermal fluid."
Today, gold veins formed deep
underground account for about a third of known gold deposits. Much is
mined directly, and some that erodes away is collected from streams.
"You can't destroy gold. It just keeps getting recycled," says Henley.

Blueberries are excellent anti-inflammatory agents. They increase the amounts of compounds called heat-shock proteins that decrease as people age, thereby causing inflammation and damage, particularly in the brain. By eating blueberries regularly, research shows that these heat-shock proteins stop declining and inflammation lessens, not to mention that they just taste fabulous.
