Ever been to the best beach in the world? Florida's Siesta Key, near Sarasota     (TIL)

The only beach in the world made of 99% quartz crystal sand. Nobody knows why quartz cryatal sand even exists at a beach where there is no native quartz to be found.

Very white sand that never gets hard and never gets hot to the touch in summer. Sandy beaches always get too hot in summer sun, but not this quartz crystal sand. And it squeeks when you walk on it.

Just found out that a dear friend lives there, so in the spring, I'm gonna visit this wonderful place. Oh, and here is the beach live cam. Be sure to watch the live cam again on Sunday evening and see the unique weekly gathering.

"We must turn Russia into a desert populated by whites Negroes upon whom we shall impose a tyranny such as the most terrible Eastern despots never dreamt of. The only difference is that this will be a left-wing tyranny, not a right-wing tyranny. It will be a red tyranny and not a white one. We mean the word 'red' literally, because we shall shed such floods of blood as will make all the human losses suffered in the capitalist wars pale by comparison. The biggest bankers across the ocean will work in the closes possible contact with us. If we win the revolution, we shall establish the power of Zionism upon the wreckage of the revolution's funeral, and we shall become a power before which the whole world will sink to its knees. We shall show what real power is. By means of terror and bloodbaths, we shall reduce the Russian intelligentsia to a state of complete stupefaction and idiocy and to an animal existence." -- Leon Trotsky.
