What were ebb tides of curacao in 1990?
Ebb tides refer to the period when the water level decreases as the tide recedes, which can vary based on lunar cycles, geographical location, and local conditions. In 1990, the specific ebb tide data for Curaçao would require historical tidal charts or records from that time, which typically show the timing and height of tides. Generally, Curaçao experiences semi-diurnal tides, meaning there are typically two high tides and two low tides each day. For precise measurements, consulting historical oceanographic data sources would be necessary.
What was the weather like between 1990 - 2000?
I live in So Cal and have asked this same question. Weather these days seem extreme to me - dry, then humid. Cold then way too hot. You can't wait for the summer and then when it hits you can't wait for rain. It's too uncomfortable to enjoy. I'm not old either - I'm 23. I miss the weather of the 90's. Where it was sunny around 90 F, with a breezy wind chill to keep you fresh. The Santa Anna's aren't what they used to be either. Cold evenings in the fall with warm gusts that make for the perfect late night out.

This has been bothering me for years! From what I've found, it was called I-Land Treasure. This link (http://www.gearbits.com/archives/2003/11/lost_forgotten.html) is to a message board, but if you ctrl+f for "i-land," you'll find it. I'm going to assume a woman whose mother was Lady Speakwell (the woman on the TV show) would remember the name of the show.

We started the decade in Camelot with the election of JFK, but soon we were in the cold war and the Cuban missile crises. The Beatles wanted to hold your hand, but the Animals wanted you off of their cloud. Chubby Checker was singing the Peppermint twist and the beehive was the rage. Soon Vietnam became a household word and our boys were going as "advisers to stop communist aggression". Martin Luther King was the voice of the civil rights movement and the civil rights act was passed. The music died in Dallas when JFK was shot by Oswald and Mrs. Kennedy stood in her pink bloody suit to watch LBJ take the place of her husband. LBJ decided to expand the war in Vietnam and sent more boys. Soon we were watching the war on our evening news. Because people could see what war was really like protests began against the war and to get us out of Vietnam. It seemed that the world was on fire. The draft began, more protests, and Robert Kennedy and MLK were shot in the summer of 1968. Chicago was on fire from the protests of the Democratic Convention and the birth control pill was the rage. The sexual revolution was on. It was the Age of Aquarius and the summer of love. Time to tune in and drop out. Put a bumper sticker on the car and tell others what you thought. Peace Man. We went to the moon and came back and realized that we were a blue planet in black space. Some found their own "space" and came home "spaced" out. Nixon ran for President and then froze the world.
Another point of view!!
The 60's, part of what happened in the 1960's was called the sexual revolution. Birth control, historically frowned on by the Catholic church was widely used and women found a freedom never before experienced. Rock and Roll was alive and growing more and more in popularity. Because of the war raging in Vietnam the generation coming of age had a motto, "Live for now, for tomorrow we could all be dead" and that war became the focal point of a generation dedicated to peace and love. Peace rallies were the norm, sit-ins became fashionable and racial equality marches were common. Flower Power was not just a phrase, it was the beginning of changes all over the world. These were by no means the only things that happened during the decade but Vietnam was still on and for many the world was never the same, but it was a great time!!!
