| Did I ever tell you why I go to Culebra every March? I know you think it's for Lewis' birthday, but it is really my celebration for having once again made it through February without annihilating someone or something. We have fourteen different SEC filings due on the 28th. This year I am training someone else so that I can have a life next year. Potatoes comin' up.

Saguaro coral? 
I'm thinking I may have actually tried to snorkle amarillo - I'll check with MA to see if that eas where we were.

Doug,
Amarillo is pretty deep and right in the middle of the entrance to the bay. I doubt that you snorkeled it and made it back to tell the story. If there is a shallow snorkeling reef out that way, lemme know.

This was offset to the right, and outside a line connecting the two points of the mouth of the ensenada, outbound. It was a coral mound that, at it's shallowest was maybe 15-20 feet. She was showing me how badly the coral had been damaged by construction runoff from the Dewey rebuild carried by a strong current and hoping I could document it. I did see a humongous grouper there, but I was fighting the buoyancy, surface diving with my not-too-swift ewa-marine (ever seen one?) underwater housing and couldn't get a shot that I could recognize.
I'll ask her.

since I'm looking at over a foot of snow and ice and hurricane force winds for the next 36 hours, SPUDs would be appreciated - I can't imagine why you seem to think the SEC is more important.....
you shoulda seen the idiots at the stores today -- buying things like water. Now, most of us have fireplaces. It's supposed to snow at least a foot, which if I remember correctly is a lot of water. Which you can usually accomplish mixing snow with a fireplace.....
I have just purchased my very own Culebra gas grill for use for when the power goes out (it goes out here more than in Culebra) -- a little camping stove with those cute propane tanks.....this island chick ain't scared of no blizzard...

| What about bread and milk? Here, one cannot live through a snowstorm without bread and milk, and you know the common Joe has no idea that milk comes in a box that will keep in the pantry for a couple of years.

folks in these parts would just faint if they found out I drank milk out of a two year old paper carton -- it's bad enough when I tell them I rented a shipping containter to live in for my first couple of years on Culebra....you can try and describe things to people here, but it's really hard.
I was smart and went to the library, got some good books, and once things settle down, I'll go out snowshoeing and do some photography....not quite the same as Playa Larga, but it will be pretty, and peaceful.....

| Post pictures so that we can live vicariously through your adventures - wouldn't catch me dead in a northeastern state in winter. These 40-50 degree high temps in Georgia are killing me!

In STL, the storm mania always sets off a run on milk, bread, and eggs. Gotta be that it triggers a latent irresistable obsession with french toast (out here in the republican 'burbs, that's freedom toast).
We got a good dumping on today and lots of drifting foiling my driveway shoveling, but my old (182,000mi.) Trooper made it to work, the post office, and home, just fine.
Going back down to single digits the rest of the week, so I'm not optimistic about a good turnout for the Mardi Gras grand parade on Saturday.
