Home of countless wrecks and mobsters in cement boots..... you probably think I'm kidding.:whoa:
 
I had a hard time answering this survey because it asked "Where are you from" not "where do you live". I live in Texas (about 12 years now) but I'm FROM Idaho and wish I were there. No offense to all you Texans, it's the weather I don't like! LOL

Hi

I found this on the web:

Today's Question:

Is the Red Sea red? If so, why?

The Answer:

Of course it's not actually red, but sometimes it appears that way. Located between the East African coast and the Saudi Arabian peninsula, the Red Sea got its name because of a type of algae called Trichodesmium erythraeum which is found in the sea. When these blooms of algae die off they appear to turn the blue-green color of the ocean to a reddish-brown.
