Ray is looking more and more like Henry Rollins...or something...
spent today washing and de-odorizing the dive gear, last week was a fantastical adventure diving the beautiful reefs of Bonaire. we met up with a couple from New Hampshire on the island, whom we have had many dive trips with before. We had decided to do do all shore dives this trip, driving to the beaches and making our way out to the site marker buoys to descend onto each dive site. The reefs were very healthy, with an incredible population of fishes of all kinds, this was very encouraging to me because we had been on a few trips where it seemed the fish populations were sparser than I had remembered them to be.
It is such a magical experience to spend hour long segments of time visiting the ocean bottom and being in total awe of the abundance of spectacular looking creatures and to become immersed into an alternate world than our land based air ecosystem. It still blows my mind to this day to be privileged to visit the underwater world in short segments of time, and just relax and take in the sights and sounds of what goes on under the waves.
Several times I ventured out away from the reef into the open water to just examine the vista of the bottom slope, and to observe the fishes schooling up away from the reef, and watch them descend into a living river, cruising along the corals and sponges, only to once again funnel back up into the deep blue and form a living moving ball once again in the ocean currents...
one sight that was my favorite on several trips to this place, that did not disappoint in it's magical charm, was a site called Alice In Wonderland, it is a double reef system with huge coral colonies that look like Giant mushrooms, and there is a sandy bottom...which, if you cross it, there is another section of reef...this was one of the best dive trips I have ever experienced
Welcome back, Enaud and thanks for sharing your wonderful adventure. If you have pics, I would love to see them.
Not my vid...borrowed...I do not like being distracted by hauling a camera on dives...I tried it for a bit and it just wasn't my thing
They seem to keep working and working too, never once throwing out any complaints. Push the button and they fire. Every time & all the time.
There's something tremendously comforting for me in that.
Dave, I agree with that and Enaud, thanks for the vid....that is absolutely beautiful. I am envious that you got to see that.
Iowa doesn't even try to hide the truth 
Iowa bill will raise the age of vaping to 21,
but the age to buy cigarettes and other tobacco products stay at 18 years old
Proposal would lift legal age to purchase e-cigarettes from 18 to 21

E-cigs come in bubblegum flavor, cigs don't.
Another argument is that flavored alcohol is 21.
I would rather have it at 21 than to take away flavors. I remember when wine coolers came out at about the same time as States went from 18 to 21.
My State switched to 21 just before I turned 18.

To young to vape but old enough to vote.
I'll never understand it. I continue to feel that whatever age we send kids off to war should be the same age that they can go out for a drink/vape/smoke/etc.
I don't even care what age they make it. 37? FINE! Just make sure they're one and the same (for ME, at least).
Somehow, I think a good few remember this group...I ran across it because I read of Shel Silverstein.
Shel Silverstein wrote this and many others for Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show. What is different here is that it is a true story for the writer. Apparently, only the name was changed. She (Sylvia), and her mother knew who they were and never told anyone, but an investigative reporter tracked them down much later. They were surprised because they never told anyone how they related to the song. Anyway, he wrote many for Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show. They had many hits...in their lane of music. This is a quick grab of five.
