    Default Lost at Sea

    Sigh.... does anyone else feel lost at sea? Where are we going? Can we fight these stormy skies?

    Doubt it. Nobody wants to traverse through the center of the storm, they just want to veer to the far left or the far right of it. If we had a captain that was a realist not an ideologue we would be alright. I just don't see it, as the passengers of this ship only want ideologies not true solutions.

    This sounds like the "malaise" Carter talked about. If you don't understand what the problem is, you can't understand how to solve it.

    Nope, she's done. Might as well wrap it up. At least everybody gave it their best shot. It's been a slice.

    I thought you were going to say that the turtles had all gone extinct. That would have been the last straw. Aaaargh!

    I'm sure you meant to say to the port or starboard of it. Meanwhile, I'm heading for the poopdeck.

    No, the turtles seem to be doing well. As a matter of fact, just this morning I steered around a snapping turtle lumbering across the street. I had forgotten how large those things get. His shell was about a foot long front to back.

    Absolutely. And thank you for educating the readers so they know the proper terms. I didn't want to go over their heads.

    On the plus side at sea you can just chuck all your electronic gadgets overboard and not have to deal with anything except your own mind and opinions...

    At sea you really ought to have your GPS, LORAN, VHF, SSB, EPIRB, RADAR and maybe a PBJ and a PBR.

    PBJ is pretty economical for all the nutrition it can provide.

    Are there still lost ghost ships floating around the oceans?
