    Saw former VP Al Gore at Pennyroyal Quarry today

    Did not get to speak with him at all. The photo shoots were wrapping up just as I pulled in. Went down to set gear up as he went into the water for the last of his OW evaluation dives.

    Great now he is going to claim that divers air bubbles are contributing to global warming. At the very least he invented scuba diving. I wished you could of asked him how much wait he needed. I have always wandered how much wait to sink sh!t.
    Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!

    Tammy -- Kool -- were there SS agents around?

    Mopar -- while I tend to agree with what appear to be your political leanings, your lack of knowledge of the English Language merely encourages some stereotypes of "right wing nutbars."

    "Wait" -- means -- hold on, stop, cease -- as in "You must wait another hour for the bus."

    "Weight" -- means -- how much does something "weigh" -- as in a measurement

    Oops my bad on weight. I was not thinking. Also I am not a right wing nut but learned that Al Gore has lied on some of the issues of global warming. I think Al and George W would make great dive buddies.

    I did not see any security around. Not saying they weren't there, but saw nothing. Just Mr. Gore & his instructor (& some of the Pennyroyal staff, during a photo shoot going on when I arrived).

    Too bad he wasn't a diver when the Deep Water Horizon was still spewing. We could have plugged the well with him :-).

    I've done annual service work on secret service regs, and in the past they have trained agents for that type of protection, so the odds are they were around.

    A good friend of mine, now retired, used to run the Secret Service Aquatic group ... diving, swimming, boats, etc. They have a hell of a training facility.

    He's got a Nobel Peace Prize--worth about $1.6 million--and you don't know the difference between "of" and "have," or "wait" and "weight." But I'm sure you have more insight into the causes of global warming.

    Everything I post is an opinion; I do not pretend to have any facts to offer. Much of what is posted here is in jest, and is not intended to be taken seriously. The sarcasm is often so subtle it's hard to detect.
