The Pirates are Back

The Pirates are Back

Well we talked about them before and their still there. The pirates of Mali are back. And they still have the big oil tanker and all of its crew captive. They are still demanding a 15 million dollar ransom for a 1 million dollar oil tanker. And there's a little bad news but I guess it's good news to. The ship believed to be a pirate ship is now identified as a hijacked ship that's not a pirate ship.

The pirates however are not giving up. They have accumulated their ships to a higher number. They are still holding ransoms of higher prices. They are also holding more and more people captive. The pirates it seems are not going to give up the fight which they are clearly winning.

Pirates

You may think that pirates aren't around any more. You may think that when it comes to pirates all they do is steal money and swash buckle. But if you want to know what a pirate actually looks like then you would have to go to Africa and go to a place called Pirate Gulf. If you go there than you'll see what a real pirate looks like. They don't carry swords or speak weird but they do carry guns and hold boats for ransom. Were they live their is a lot of conflict going on and war lords rule. There you will find violence killing and much fighting along with all the pirates.

The times however aren't getting any better. More and more boats are getting hijacked. And more people are being helded for ransom and it just keeps getting worse. However thanks to people from India There's one less pirate boat. While on the hi seas people from India were crossing the ocean trbnsporting things when they spotted what looked like a pirate ship. At the first sight of it they fired and sunk the thing to the deep.

Fires in the Golden State

Fires in the Golden State

The dry weather and all the wind in the area is the perfect formula to make fires. Fires are happening in much of the Los Angeles area. It's so bad that even Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger had to call a red flag alert in the county. Some of the people that are near the fire that's on the mountain are actually trying to put it out with their water hoses to keep it from getting into their houses. But most people are just taking what they can gt and evacuating from their homes.

So far thousands of acres have been burned and hundreds of homes have been destroyed. Helicopters are trying to put it out by using water and a chemical solution that puts fires out. Firefighters on the ground are even using bulldozers to stop the fire from going any further. However only a few fires have been fully contained. All we can do is stand by and see what happens and hope that the fires don't get any farther.
