And Now, for something not different at all.

Just few pics to tide y'all over.

Completely unedited, and just a shot or two of our underwater adventures...but something to let you in on some of what we've been up to...same ol' stuff, mostly, altho I did some server work up at Lahaina this trip, so I wasn't all lazy :).




Goofy has the gear all dialed in...well, mostly.




Diving out at Molokini...Mostly miscellaneous divers, but we might be there somewhere. That's Dauntless topside.




This picture is actually right side up - well, from my perspective, anyway. I took it hanging upside down in front of Goofy. I was entirely amused. Goofy...less so I think. Unimpressed at my dive skills for sure. LOL. I like to hang upside down under water...it's fun. Kinda like putting things on my head. (You know what that means if you know...elsewise, whatever).

It's been cold today (well, 78, but it was windy, and I saw an actual RAINDROP). Seriously. I actually thought about finding a sweatshirt to wear with my shorts and flip flops...

And there were rain clouds.

I mean it.

Rain is good though - but not for diving. Makes the viz go way down.

And, since something shiny just caught my attention, lol....did you hear that we saw WHALES this trip? Actual whales are back in Maui already. It's awesome (truly and in the best sense of the word). We even heard whale song out at Molokini. It was faint, but there...Niiiiicccce!

Heading back to rainy town tomorrow night...

Catch y'all later!

Aloha!

M&G

OK...stolen from another blog I read

...but worth your time if you love georgie as much as I do...It's kinda sad, but on the other hand, if you don't play nice with the other kids....

We've Been Too Busy To Post

We've been in Maui and at the Wailea Marriott for nearly a week now - mostly celebrating Goofy's birthday and doing what Goofy wants to do (it is the birthday month, you know). The resort is lovely, and they have many lovely swimming pools.

It's been a great trip. We've gone diving to Molokini, Manta Point and Moloka'i in search of hammerheads (which we found again, yay). No pics, but I think that Mike may have gotten some good video for us. We'll bring it home if it turned out well.


Until then, here's the adults only pool at the resort (no children, and a security guard to make sure - hehehe)

Rob Goes Diving with The Sharks

Rob recently went to the Bahamas and got the opportunity to go diving with the sharks.

Looks like fun!

Just saying...

Without further ado

I don't believe that this really needs any introduction. It's just plain, laugh out loud funny! Enjoy



Just Sayin'

Legitimate...of a sort

In case you didn't notice, I'm a blogHer blogger now. It's kinda a badge of achievement. all the cool bloggers are bloghers.

Follow their links if you see something that interests you. I may get a little something if you do (but that's not the point) I may not, I didn't really care enough about that part to read the small print.

It's just cool to belong to a cool club.

Later, gators!

I won't talk about it here (too much, anyway)

But I've ranted on "Thinking Out Loud"

I'm mentioning because i promised to keep politics off of this blog - but I'm not sure if civil rights is politics or just plain human rights.

Until I figure it out (or lose my ability to keep it off of this blog), go over to the other space and see what's got me ranting.

I have the right to remain silent - I just don't have the ability.

I'm not sure I should have the ability in this case.

Slow Brain, Slow Posts

Hey.

I've been slow to post lately...mostly because my brain is slowed down by all the little cold bugs running around in there.

they are trying to come out my nose too. NOT a pretty sight.

And I ache. Everywhere. Mostly.

It's Goofy's fault.

Seriously.

Sniff.

And, YEAH...they do kinda look like that.

I'm just sayin...

The Dawn of A New Day

For the first time in the history of this country (the one we all feel is so progressive and forward thinking) :)

Yes We Can!

Get Off The Couch, People!

Today is the day! You need to get out and vote (or make sure you send in your ballot before the deadline) TODAY!

I voted last week when my ballot arrived in the mail. You better vote too.

If you don't you have no one to blame but yourself if things turn out differently than you wanted.

In fact, if I hear people bitching about this bill or that politician, nearly the first thing I say is "did you vote?".

If the answer is "no", then SHUT UP! You have nothing to say to me or anyone else.

Voting is not a right, people, it's a privilege and more importantly, it's a RESPONSIBILITY!

I am not particularly interested in who or what you cast your vote for...but I am interested in whether or not you voted.

This country is having in challenging times - whatever your leanings - and we have the responsibility to do our best to make our voices heard.

So VOTE! or shut up...or better yet, get out. We need responsible people to help us out of this mess.
