Interesting Find: 350lb 50 Year Old Grouper Caught off the Coast of Florida

350lb pound Grouper caught off the coast of Florida with just a hook and a line.  

Biologist's at FWC Fish and Wildlife Research Institute that tested it believe it is 50 years old and is the oldest specimen in their collection.

USA Today  article has additional information and also stated another thing the fisherman is catching is flack for killing the fish instead of returning it to the sea.  It does seem sad that it would live to such a ripe old age, but it is an interesting find.

Unique Music: 3 Accordions by 3 Generations Playing "Beer Barrel Polka"

Have you ever seen so much aqua and blue polyester on men before?

As a child, it was almost guaranteed if you were at my Grandparents on a Saturday night that you would be watching Lawrence Welk.  

I didn't care for the singing and dancings so much, but like many kids, I liked to watch the bubbles generated by a machine during some numbers.

I also like the accordions as well; it looked like people were wearing a mini piano on their chest.

In the above video gem indicates it is from 1981 and features not one, not two, but three accordions played by three generations of men, one being Mr. Welk himself, playing the "Beer Barrel Polka".

TREND ALERT: ANKLE SCARVES

I read of this trend on Delish.  While there isn't a specific "ankle scarf" some are using children's scarves to fashion around their ankles.

I think it is kind of cute but think I would end up tripping over the little scarf ends.  

When I posted it on social media responses ranged from:

• It is stupid as that was what socks and pants were 
• Uhm..I think I'll pass
• Agreed they would probably end up tripping over the loose ends too.

What are your thoughts on this trend?
