December Delights

I think I was running with you bird and dao in my teens. By 20 though I changed course. Probably good as a lot of my running buddies ain’t around any more.

Maybe this has residual effects though and that’s why we’re still posting in the December thread….

You may be correct sir! Oh, wait! It aint December anymore?
Yeah, good thing you and I both saw the errors of our ways. There are 2 in that crowd of fellas I was with who are longer around and 2 who are always in jail or prison. Sad!

I've seen the plankton light up many times. Not on the beach but in the open ocean. After sailing thousands of miles over 15 years onboard 5 ships while I was in the Navy, the novelty wore off. It was pretty amazing, though. And no drugs were involved.

I saw that many times too, on the fantail of the carriers I was on, at night, usually smoking a cigarette. I read once that in a total blackout situation, a few pilots were able to find their way back to the flight deck using the green glow trail that was coming off of the back of the carrier.

Yeppers, we've all lost former running buddies and acquaintances over the years. "There but for the grace of God go I". Makes me wonder sometimes, ok most all the time, why them and not me?

I'd love to sail on a carrier, with or without plankton off the stern.

70 years ago I & my family did a driving vacation around Puerto Rico. One overnight stay in Lajas on the south side of the island we went to nearby Phosphorescent Bay (a “bio bay”) for an evening ride in a glass bottom tour boat. It was fascinating to see all the fish swimming around making light trails.

I remember many took the trip and never came back.................................

My college roommate dropped acid in the 80s, and he'd sit - goofily smiling - in front of the Apple IIc monitor gently moving the mouse, watching the imaginary tracers.
