Back to Sea

I just got word that I'll be going to the Carnival Valor. It was my choice really. I was going to go to the Freedom which sails the Mediterranean, but Judy couldn't get on board. So instead we are both transferring to the Valor, which has port calls in Belize, Honduras, Cozumel, Puerto Rico, etc. So the Caribbean it is...

This of course means, I will be switching back to my Sea Blog: A Pirates Life For Me as of 17th of August. I'll keep posting to this site until then.

Fun With Anagrams (or Asthma Warn Fungi)

Its been said that anagrams - rearranging the letters of a name to form new words - can tell a lot about a person, well here's proof!!! Our presidents in order:

Ronald Wilson Reagan = Insane Anglo Warlord!! (or) No, darlings, no ERA law!!
George Walker Bush (Papa Bush) = Huge Berserk Rebel Warthog!!
William Jefferson Clinton = Lowlife Conman Infers Jilt!! (or) Jilts nice women. In for fall!!! (Well, that played out).
George Walker Bush = A Whore Buggers Elk!! (or) Blush, war geek ogre!!

And let us not forget our Presidential Hopefuls...
John Sidney McCain = Damn! Enjoy chic sin!!
Barack Hussein Obama = A Chubbier ass AA monk! (or) A Caesarian Bomb Husk! (Which seems the lesser of evils).

My Presidential Choice (now not an option):
Ronald Ernest Paul = An alert splendour! (He is pretty sharp)!

This has got to make you wonder!!!

Making the best of Portland: Part One

I'm bored here. I admit it - I find this town strange and too quiet for me. What seemed hip before now seems like planned lethargy. So, to help me make it through the remaining weeks here in Stumptown, I present to you my findings of my explorations of Southeast Portland - Mt Tabor neighborhood.



I bought a new camera: a Fuji Z10fd. It has a special setting called "Flowers" so I had to try it.
