Research has led to the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neuron, 25 assistant neurons, 88 deputy neurons, and 198 assistant deputy neurons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second to take from four days to four years to complete.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2-6 years; it does not decay, but…

The Greatest Real Estate Agent In The World?

Do I consider myself the Greatest Real Estate Agent In The World?  Why of course not.  I very much think that is a description many of us strive for, but we can not give ourselves that title, it must come from our past clients both buyers and sellers.  I would be embarresed to label myself by that term, but would love to be labeled with that reputation.  I can't begin to be considered as one of the greatest agents in the world until I become labeled the best in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, Alabama and that title will be bestowed by clients, not by me.

The Gulf Coast Region of the United States consists of the coastal States that border the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf States are Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida and are in the Southern Region of the United States. The majority of the Gulf Coast shoreline is in Florida and Texas with Mississippi and Alabama having the least amount of coastline.

The waters along the Gulf Coast in Louisiana and Mississippi are influenced by the Mississippi Sound where massive amounts of silt laden fresh water from the Mississippi River mix with the salt waters of the Gulf of Mexico.  The effects of the sound reach over to the barrier island of Dauphin Island, AL and the mouth of Mobile Bay. 

The effects of the Mississippi Sound play out around Dauphin…
