After two days of delaying her departure from Simon's Town due to sea
state conditions - my pal has abandoned his hitched joyride with her
so there will be no first hand report. Sorry.

If automobiles had followed the same development cycle as the
computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles
per gallon and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.

Well, if you talk to him, I'm curious. Did she give him HSV-1 or HSV-2?

She finally departed a few minutes ago:

Eighteen whiskies. A record I think. Dylan Thomas' last words.

Yep that's one of the engine rooms - but why the surprise? Most
stokers, world wide, spend inordinate amounts of time with scrubbing
brushes, polishing rags and paint to keep their engine rooms looking
really tiddley. Quite often machinery is even given names and
carefully inscribed brass plates affixed to show those names. Pride,
it's called! In one boiler room of my acquaintance even the
reciprocal FFO feed pumps had names - the most tempremental of the lot
being "Gladys". There was also a "Spooky" and a "Suzie Q". I never
saw the same sort of thing in the merchant marine such as I saw in
navies. Probably the engineers there were more distanced from the
equipment - it was merely a job.

Men become civilized, not in proportion to their willingness to
believe, but in proportion to their willingness to doubt.

According to the SSSW [ SuckshitShitSoffWare ] that is a known
malicious site. They gave the name of the trojan as a matter of fact.

Any site to which millions upload has a potential for malicious
material. However it is difficult to embed malware in jpegs and there
is none in these pictures.

I am willing to take your word for it that the pix are clean.
Yesterday the fuckinbox developed a dancing cursor. Imagine my
feelings when a reboot didn't fix it. Fortunately, the re-reboot
worked. They're all in it together.

I took Eugene's word that the pix were ok.
