Blue Nettles

Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies
Farewell and adieu you ladies of Spain
For we received orders for to sail back to Boston
And soon never more will we see you again
-- Spanish Ladies

I had an exhausting weekend. We had a big thunderstorm friday night that knocked out the power to my section of town until yesterday afternoon. So I kept going out somewhere then coming home later to see if the power was on, then leaving again.

I did go see the Jaws, 30th anniversery showing at the AFI Silver. I really like that movie.

Quint/Robert Shaw: "You go in the cage, cage goes in the water, you go in the water. Shark's in the water - our shark."

But I survived being thrown back into the twentieth century for a couple of days and only had to throw away a few dairy products.

You know that was the time I was most frightened. Waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.
