paradise, underwater

me, underwater	rays of sunlight dancing in the waves on the surface
what happens when you look straight down, into the blue. the sunlight rays you see in the picture dance and shimmer... it's hyptonic.

What decadence! I'm working to exercise my mind, diving and spending time outdoors to exercise my body, spirit and fish nature, and chatting with friends (sometimes, and briefly) through a modem connection from the JUNGLE. Everytime I dial up to check email (which is necessary for work. uh... yeah. :), Kenny pings me immediately. I was also fortunate enough to grab some of Peter and Vienna's time today as well.

Kenny should really be here with us, since he was there in Palau when we all were introduced to each other. Lucien and Olivier have been wonderful hosts.

Oh. One thing did go wrong today. My NiMH AA charger died because I sent 220 volts coursing through it's circuitry. This is very very bad. My underwater camera runs on AA batteries. I may have to flush money down the toilet (or, the ocean, in this case) to buy imported AA batteries -- 4 for every two dives! That sounds snooty, but it's not, because everything here is imported -- even the eggs. Argh. So sad.
