We are back in the mainstream. Had breakfast a while ago at the Applebys here. My wife is off on a day long tour of art and culture. I am about all vacationed out, so decided just to plug in the old Toshiba, log into my Citrix Server and do a little work and play at RHP.
Slightly amusing. Our Air China stewardess gave us a ten minute lecture on why it isn't safe to use the new "sinking" island, and how smart we are for flying into the tried and true airport. I'm sure it has nothing to do with cost!
Anyway. Hi y'all! What's happnin?!

Yea. I figure it don't do any good to get too caught up in it. I have veered off into a new hobby. I'm going to build a boat. That kind of takes my mind off the arguing and combat stuff.
How are you?
You notice I can still muster a zinger or two though?
Damned vacations. I'm too tired to really argue.

A boat? Don't you live about as far away from the coast as you can get? I am sure you have got something worked out.
Are you in China?

Originally posted by steerpikeUtah has "The Great Salt Lake", which I wouldn't put a boat on if it were the last wet place on earth. It stinks. It is very much a Dead Salt Sea.

But only twenty miles away are over five lakes, the biggest being Utah Lake, a twenty mile by ten mile beauty. And it is fresh water. We are talking a powered boat, so no sailing.
Got back from Beijing last night, in the early hours. We are in Osaka, Japan. Until Sunday night. Then on to Honalulu. My wife and I are abandoning the tour at that point. We have the use of a place on Maui, so we are going to hang out there for a week or so.
I know. Tough life. But somebummy's got to do it.
