Chasing The Blue Beyond

Art is anything you can get away with.  Every Meal is a story- reads the banner, Once upon  e coli, for instance?   I Love Water reads the T-shirt. Me too, Know where I can find any clean H20 

Lome, Togo · The Trials Togo or Not Togo Where there’s a Will, there’s a play. A port call missed, a show delivered, and Shakespeare standing in for shore leave.

The itinerary said Togo. The assignment said showtime. At sea, both can be true. Like Dubai or not Dubai, Togo or not Togo, I read Shakespeare instead of visiting this port of call. Actually, I had to work on a show. If work is prayer, then I am going to heaven. “The port was outside. The play was the journey.” Operational lesson: ...

I supplied the bad judgment necessary to enter the water. There are two ways to swim with sharks. One involves a steel cage, an experienced crew, cold water and a reasonable respect for biology. The other involves corporate life. This file concerns the first kind. Off Cape Town, I became the police chief, scientist and...

 Properly trained, a man can be dog's best friend  On my way to Fish Hoek-Northern Bay---the views from all over are absolutely priceless Calling on Cape Town- The winds are high, and after an overnight delay, we finally docked in this  beautiful port city. Spent the day driving around, and seeing  the sites in this  coastal suburb of Cape Town. “This cape is the most stately thing and the fairest cape we saw in the whole circumference of the earth.” – From the journal of Sir Francis Drake, on seeing the Cape for the first time, 1580

If you build it they will leave. The streets of Durban are deserted, except for this White Elephant  Sailing into Durban this morning was peaceful  A bouquet of barbed wire awaits the visitor to Durban. Power Verses Force-Fear is a misuse of imagination, but you don't need to be a  Walt Disney Imagineering Intern to figure out, that when the hospital has barbed wire around it, in fact, the whole town is full of these thorny fences, these PPL are crazy delicious over using  barbed wire like  a bikini-just enough to protect the "property" without obstructing the view.   The FEAR acronym is at work- False Evidence Appearing Real-- except for the fact that the locals tell me it is TEAR (True). Soon I'll be in Cape Town or  will it be Cape Fear? There are over 530 patented barbed wires,  and I counted at least  2,000 variations of them  used here in town. All that's missing is the guard towers and the machine guns and we could all go o...

The Map Is The Territory Pulp-Free Fiction  A live viewof Me and this blog from the Computer University@Sea  I am a bibliomaniac. I love libraries and books- but Google seems to shatter time and space as Conan The Librarian. You can swim all day  in the sea  of Google and still come out completely dry. A drift for 3 more  day at  sea with a great internet connection. In the middle of nowhere, and the center of everything, this is my  definition of "location independent". Home is not where my heart is , it is where my computer connection is. Does that make me a Mouse Potatoe. Who needs rote memorization.
