pink tailed trigger fish

Got a nice shot of my current favorite fish today. Had a fine long swim. I planned on keeping just one shot from today’s swim. But, I rather like this little damselfish with the broken urchin shell.

A LITTLE REFLECTION ON BEING OLD


OK,  boys and girls. Even this hard ass old bat admits that this is a touching photo. And, it says worlds about these two men as compared to the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. It is a great image.

But, it makes me ask why the fuck would I want to live to 95 if that is how I am going to end up. Just because medical science can keep me alive doesn’t mean it should. If I make another 20 years I’ll be 95 like Senator Dole. Doubt that I’m in for the long haul.

Nobody is promised tomorrow. Laissez les bons temps rouler.

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. H.L. Menchen,  Baltimore Sun, July 26, 1920.
