It's Winter time - you know you're a diver when you're scraping ice off your windshield INSIDE your vehicle...!
Once in a while, it is good to step back, take a breath, and remember to be humble. You'll never know it all - ScubaDadMiami. If you aren't afraid of dying, there is nothing you can't achieve - Lao-tzu. One dog barks at something, the rest bark at him - Chinese Proverb.

Actually, the WORST day of diving is better than the BEST day at work...
and... my life is not measured by the number of breaths I take, but by the number of breaths I take UNDER WATER
"I see you are no stranger to pain." -- "I was married... TWICE!!!" HOT SHOTS, PART DEUX

Why does almost everyone in the Houston/Galveston area that I tell I am going to a Bill Maher comedy show on Thursday night look at me like I'm performing a sexual act on Fidel Castro or Osama Bin Laden? I know this is a conservative place, but what is so weird about going to see a comedy act?

No aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious it may be, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those marine lands can be considered normal.

In a few billion years, everything that we know now as modern civilization, along with all the advances our subsequent generations of offspring cook up, will all be nothing more than a gigantic cloud of dust, thousands of lightyears wide and gently flourescing from the radiation emitted by the dense, hot core of what used to be the Sun.

Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is what you do in spite of your fear.
Every man has fear. Any man who has no fear belongs in an institution. Or in Special Forces.

I'm a little concerned about your fixation on mini vans(your wish in When the Devil thread) and now this.

Up here it's not just limited to mini vans....my pet peeve is people that drive at or below the speed limit in the passing lane.

what would be worse would be then the guy in out neighbor hood who has a M40A3 in the gun rack but also has a big bertha driver below it (BTW the guy is SWAT, and not one i likely to mess with him as he is built like sniperdiver but around 5'6")
also
its not minivan thats bother me its the soccer mom driving SUVs that cant drive them to save there lives and then give me the finger when they run me off the road while there are driving, talking on the phone and putting on there make up while junior is throwing a fit in the back seat.
