Pete's what??

So the name of this blog is Pete's Bog, not a misspelling but rather a take on a peat bog. I have always known peat bogs as a source of energy for heat in the British Isles. Peat bogs are dead plant life that is decomposing, or decompsed and had been known to actually perserve bodies that fall into it. There are large amounts of tannic acid (it is what it sounds like) which tans what ever material that falls into it, or turns it into leather. They found remains of vikings that are perfectly perserved, hair, nails and all.

So I wanted to call this Pete's bog since it sounded like peat bog. Anyway, I have some other stuff to post, so I will gather the photo's and start sharing...
