We had MI types as riders with high end cameras set up on the bridge and I mentioned my encounter on the plane. "Yeah, we saw them go aboard that frigate an hour ago"
Me: those guys didn't look like sailors
MI: no, they're not sailors.
Ok then.

I had guys that worked for me that would go deep if we had a weekend in port. Monday morning underway always saw me checking the liberty log at 0400 to see if I had to go look for them. Fortunately they kept to a pattern (not smart) & shacked up with the same women.

Ran across some of your tribe in Djibouti once. Nice chaps. Finished our beers and kept going.

Right? IMO, it was a good effort but when they couldn't make progress with hose lines & Fireboats, it was right to pull back, tow it to anchorage & turn it over to salvage experts.

The other concern is that we're on the edge of the Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex. Our corner has been successfully mitigated with hydrauger wells with zero movement for 13 months. Unlike many in SoCal, I am in the "rain rain go away" camp

I deferred putting a new roof on Dad's RPV house this summer when I really should have. It's 15 yrs old and held through '22-'23 but I'd sleep more soundly if I had just done it. One more year 🙏

We've all been there. Don't take it too hard. Thanks for the reminder.

My take: there is no money. They've been stealing it all along. After this is over, it will take an army of forensic accountants and prosecutors to unwind all the financial crimes being committed.
