Outa Here
Leavin', on a jet plane...tomorrow morning. This is the view from my place on our little island. Photo taken by my late wife on the last night of the last trip we made there together. Anybody who wants a souvenir, I'll be returning with a pocketful of seashells.

Truth be told, you'd be happier in Florida. We don't have lizard people like the PAC NW. Enjoy the sunshine!

This is the view from my place looking out the back window a few years ago:  I bet you're jealous now, but happy travels and enjoy your little island!
 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

Woke up this morning shivering. It had been 86 F when I went to bed but by morning it had dropped down to a bone-chilling 68! Got up and had a coffee, then I was OK.

My grandkids are here with me, and they are pissed they'll have to make up a snow day they weren't even there for. I have a hard time imagining it's snowing anywhere.
Yesterday I met the only other white guy on the island, an Australian. And it turns out we are related! His wife is my late wife's niece. So I guess what they've always suspected is true: all white guys know each other.
Craig, I'm on Filipino Time. That's not a time zone, it's a state of mind. I have no watch, no schedule and no place to be. It's only light or dark, and the only distinction between the two is what folks are drinking. So, as a non-drinker, there is even less of a distinction for me. But I have to admit, a joint would be really tasty right now...

Those islands are full of lizard people. Be careful, especially with the current reptilian poly tickal climate.

I am single-handedly supporting the ice cream vending industry on the island. Lots of little kids here, so when the ice cream motorcycle comes around I buy him out. I'm going broke. Yesterday it cost me $1.50 to provide the neighborhood with ice cream.
But I gotta live up to my image, as the kids think that I am Santa Claus. For real. An understandable mistake; I've got the belly and the beard and they've never seen anyone else with either.

Did it knit up properly Mike? It was a shallow pool that did it wasn't it? Krauthammer on fox news made himself a paraplegic the same way so in some kind of way I suppose you're lucky. Anyway, I hope you DO have it worked out as it must have been horrific at the time

By the time I actually got to see a specialist it was nearly 3 weeks and the MRI showed that it was starting to heal really well. By that run of events I missed having to have it pinned which is the usual treatment to ensure that the break doesn't move. I was also lucky and only had the inconvenience of the cast for 2 weeks as the x-ray I had on return to Australia didn't show a break at all. Seems this type of break is difficult to see by X-ray which is why I had a follow up MRI. So when I came home from the doctor that day I took the cast off. It had already been split to allow me to travel.
It hurt like crazy to bear weight so I didn't. I ended up with a full knee brace for about 4 months and absolutely no weight bearing.
Slower recovery because I didn't have it pinned.

Healed up fine.
While it was painful it was more inconvenient.
Didn't get to walk my daughter down the aisle.
Stuck in a hotel room for 10 days.
Everyone laughed at me
By the time I was allowed to walk unassisted it was nearly 6 months.
Made a real mess of my Ligaments but as I'm not so active they didn't bother repairing them.
Because of my underlying back problems I ended up with some more damage to spinal nerves which was detected till FTEs I became mobile again.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
Thanks for asking.

Big earthquake here...no power for 3 days, airport and highways all destroyed, had to bribe pirates to take us off the island.
OK, I made up the part about the pirates.
Truth: power was out for a day so we went to a beach resort that had a generator. It was still an ordeal,,,no ice or internet, only lattes and satellite TV. I only found out about the earthquake from the TV in the cafe.
