Fricin' Complicated
Man, this new technology is killing me! I have never followed or logged on to a Blog site to date... This is my 3rd attempt to post some thoughts, comments, wishes to the "Boat People" I ended up setting up a blog of my own? So at least I got that goin' for me! I seem to get to this new Ruddell Blog when attempting to get to the Trans Atlantic page, and I am afraid / too proud to ask anybody as they will most likely berate me and call me all sorts of degrading names.... So I hope these words get to the appropriate place in cyber space to be placed on the appropriate Blog, which is the Trans Atlantic Blog page which may entertain the "Boat People" and land lubbers alike! I even attempted to input the coordinates stated on the Blog to locate the position of the vessel in question and I was somehow linked to a fishing excursion boat just off the southern tip of the Mexican Baha peninsula, which would mean "Mo Capitain" took a wrong turn and all the fancy navigation stuff on the shiny new boat doesn't work, so I am thinking I again entered something incorrectly! You would think I was the one bouncing up & down on the waves hitting my head on the side of the boat while I slept waking up dazed & confused....
So, assuming this gets to the right place, hope all is well! It is like only -40 here in Edmonton, which is the same celsius as fahrenheit so doesn't matter, reminds me of a cowboy song, you know; "It is 40 below and I don't give a ........" maybe you "Boat People" could work this melody into your next celebration! I have a question for the captian; "Where do you suppose the Saskatchewan boys got there sea legs from?" Since there has been know word of sea sickness or Luu hangin' his head over board I assume all is O.K.. If nothing else we will all have a new adjective to use when talking about / describing Gunter "Sailor Boy" or "Drunkin' Sailor" which I assume he would now apply qualify. I spoke to Heather the other day, thinking she would be down in the dumps, you know missing the Big Austrian and all, but to my surprise not so much! Seemed to be doing just fine managing the 20, 40 or however many acres they have now, clearing snow, feedin' the livestock basically keeping the home fires burning while Gunter is bobbing around the ocean drinking beer!
With the tropical weather don't forget to rub lots of oil on each other to keep safe, watch out for pirates and don't embarrass yourselves by havin' any booze left when you arrive in Antigua! If this works and I can remember what I did I will perhaps offer some more thoughts & well wishes.
