Biting my tongue again

Two sides of the same coin. Some things of which you know with certainty are true are actually false. Some things of which we know nothing about, and don't even know that we know nothing about, are true and present.

Decades of record keeping in the USA show that this is a hard, cold FACT. Hand guns are much 10x more likely to be used by men for suicide or to kill a woman than to be used "justifiably."

Yup. My state has the loosest guns laws in the USA. Concealed carry without a permit, etc., etc. They all boast about being "responsible" gun owners. My state also leads the nation in the number of loaded forearms confiscated at TSA check points in airports. All of the perpetrators claimed...

Some flights to certain dive locations have strict baggage limits, and flashing extra cash won't get you anywhere. For most international flights I can check 64 kg for free. But that doesn't help when I get the last flight on a small propeller aircraft to some remote island where the weight...

Biting my tongue. Hard.

A steel B/P is a very poor choice if you ever decide to fly somewhere with your gear.

Yeah, but the budget rooms are extremely depressing.

Anyone with even a slight vestige of common sense knows what's in their own carry-on bag. The point of the above-referenced articles is how many dysfunctional people carry guns.

I did a lot of solo day and night shore diving at Puako. There were a lot of whales, and I got to listen to whale songs all day. One day I dropped to the sand outside the reef at 130 feet. Got narc'd real good. Layed on my back and listened to whale songs until it was time to head up and start...

I pee in my drysuit. The weight of urine that drains to my feet keeps my feet from floating up.

It ain't rocket science. Anyone with even a slight vestige of common sense knows that you don't put guns, ammo, or explosives in carry-on bags.

I left the Teric on the charger and forgot about it. About a week later it was 100% charged. I don't how fast it got to 100%. I took the Teric to Cozumel for 10 days of diving. Just returned home yesterday. The Teric seemed to work just fine. It dropped to 75% after about 5 days, so I charged...

The last time I flew Continental, the aircraft broke down and we got stuck overnight in TX. Continental gave all of us passengers vouchers at a hotel that was closed for remodeling. We went back to the Continental ticket counter, but Continental refused to offer an alternative. After 100 of us...

When we had to fly Continental through TX to Cozumel, we made the sub-1 hour connection only half the time. But there weren't any other options unless we went to other airlines that required 3 flights and 2 connections.

There is NO WAY I would dive in the disgusting water around Ambon.

In the past 18 months we did resort/boat diving in the Maldives and a liveaboard on Palau. The current in the Maldives was crazy. It was quite a challenge getting around dive sites. Visibility was 30 to 60 feet. We did some manta dives but I really don't have a lot of memories of the Maldives...

We went for the schooling hammerheads. But we were too late or the water was too warm. Saw one hammerhead. Ambon is a filthy third-world industrial cesspool. But the food was out of this world. We ate from street vendors most of the time. It was WOW. We stayed in Ambon for 4 days. Yeah, lots...

I love eating fresh sushi and sashimi. In Korea the sashimi was still moving when we ate it. Yum yum.
