I'm with you Diverbrian, there are too many wrecks up here to dive, dive, dive to worry about silly caves!

:teeth: WHAAAAAAAT??? :-D

Wrecks are what you dive if you're too broke to fly to Mexico, Florida, France, Austrailia, the Bahamas, Belieze, or other fine destinations with limestone...

( Shoot... if they were good boats to begin with... why do we have to dive to see them??? )

we just wanted your home addy, CT! you understand, right?

As long as you know it's illegal to ship yourself through the mail... You'll have to fly here like all the regular folks do. :teeth:

Can't go to the limestone destinations you speak of until I get the training, so until then, I love diving the wrecks close to home

Don't get me wrong... I do love wrecks too. Maybe a bit too much. Hope you're listening WW!!! I'm geographically limited to wrecks here in Washington. But Caves occupy a lot of my daydreams...

Well you see, I LOVE to read, so....

I'm an avid SciFi reader, and have most (all?) of McCaffery, Sterling, Eddings, Brooks and Herbert books. (Most in hardcover)

Diving stuff -- technical, u/w archeology, destinations, teaching, non-fictional (the most recent a book on the Empress of Ireland) and fictional reading

As I also love to cook (some one else please clean up) I have cookbooks... you name I probably have something on the style of cooking. Some of my friends consider me a gourmet cook. A few have actually 'hired' me to cater a dinner for them.

Well there's that other stuff too... let's just say it can be very interesting who you read it with :wakawaka:

Sorry Walter.... trying to do the list from memory, and not run down to where my "library" is... I do have both Clarke and Azimov.

Will write down the authors, and post them later... I'm actually off to cook my dinner! ttfn guys and gals.

Darlin',

You're missing the best author (IMHO) ever. Pick up some Heinlein.

Looks like more of a fantasy reader, like me. Hey CWS- have you read the Jordan "Wheel of Time" series yet?

No sci fi library is complete without him...
Walter, you have to read Orson Scott Card's "Ender" series.
