Chi-town, whoa now
On a Southbound Train
So, Chicago. Before today it was just an impressive skyline often enjoyed from the lake. The sun glints nicely off the skyscrapers at dawn and dusk. This time though, since I am on the 4-8 watch and thus have 8am to 4pm off, I decided to ride the train into the city from the industrial hinterlands where we dock. The dock is ( Read more... ) -

In ancient times, a wizened Buddhist master of the Zen school was asked, "What is the secret to happiness?" He replied, "When hungry, eat. When tired, sleep." The pupil left enlightened. Being in Houston I would add, "When the sun is hot, walk in the shade ( Read more... ) -
Half Drunk and Broke in Houston, TX

Steam only 1/3 of the propulsion, two diesel electric z-drives hidden below the waterline. We move her to Beaumont next week to be sold at auction, no ( Read more... ) -
Welcome to Miami
Will the wonders never cease. Today I post standing on deck about ten miles off Miami. Tried to call people but no one has answered. But the Internet works ( Read more... ) -
Back to Work
Keeping this short. After sitting in the union hall in Mobile long enough watch the seasons change, I got a job on a Navy-contracted ammo ship, the MV John Chapman. Right now I am in Wilmington, NC, waiting to meet the ship in the morning. Going to Poland, perhaps just to drop off or perhaps to stay a while. I would like to have links to pages ( Read more... ) -
