We have completed one portion of our move: we are now out of our old house and into our new place. It took all day yesterday to actually make the move, but I think if we didn’t have Laura’s brother’s help, it would have taken even longer. By all day, I mean from 6:30am to [...]

We have just arrived back from our underwater adventures in the Flower Gardens. It was difficult to sleep on board, but we got the hang of it on the second day. Of course, once we got the hang of living on board it was time to go.

After one abortive attempt several years ago, I had not for a long time tried to go diving in the nearest salt water diving spot from Houston: the Flower Gardens Banks National Marine Sanctuary.

I now have well over 5,000 pictures posted on this site. I’ve been going through an extensive backlog of pictures and have posted several hundred. It’s hard to keep track of all of them, so if you want to be kept up to date on which albums have been added or changed, you can use [...]

On the exact day that I have been posting my pictures of Mount St. Helens on this web site, I find out that there has been a steam and ash eruption at the volcano. The eruption is still ongoing, but not serious. It has caused delays in flights out of Portland’s airport. Fox News has [...]
