Yeah, I probably should have but nobody told me the procedure was so difficult. Wakana was working and I just went of in my innocence to have a little test done on my wrist.

It's funny, last Sunday I decided that I would try to swim a lot more than I do. Every day I drive past Fisheye, a great place to snorkel and swim. Fisheye is a tower that stands in thirty feet of water. Tourists pay to walk out along a bridge and descend the circular staircase to a lounge where they can see the fish swimming in their natural environment. The coral has grown into fantastic shapes and the fish are large and varied in their color and their species. It's a good swim. The water is generally calm and there are few currents. Many of the dive companies take tourist divers there. It's not unusual to see large groups of divers wading out through the shallows for the deep water.

So, anyway, I decided a nice swim every day would be good for me. Unfortunately there has been some other requirement, task, or deprivation come up every day since then! It's not fair!

And there is another chapter in the Government Auction Saga. I did not bid on anything in this last auction. There was a diesel truck for sale but I guessed it would go for about $5,000. Nothing else appealed to me. Gordon, however, is a different story. He bid on several lots including the truck. It turns out I was right about the truck. It sold for $5,500. Gordon didn't get it. He did end up with three overhead projectors, some other electronic gear, and seven hundred and twenty plastic canteens. Remember the collapsable water tanks? Remember the mattress covers? Now he has a surplus of canteens! Sigh. Anyone want one? Or two? Or a dozen?
