Seaman Anoreth ping! More news from Brunei:

***

They [the Brunei seamen] were more interested in whether or not regular people visiting Los Angeles got shot very often. Also the general prices of hotel rooms in Seattle and Charlotte. Plus they had some difficulty with the idea that people can own guns without a license and that women can do deck work. Moslems.

I’m doing some thing involving river boats and mangrove swamps on Saturday. Most of the officers are also going, which causes me to wonder if maybe I should cancel that idea. Hanging around in the general area of most officers is kind of nerve-wracking, as I have to watch my mouth and not say anything especially violent or get in political arguments. Plus, the JO’s and XO keep making fun of me for trying to explain why trade tariffs are bad while I was on watch. Also for making too much noise on the fly-bridge and for drawing pictures of Batman fighting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Also I ended up in the XO’s comic strip for swimming in the river with crocodiles. So it may be better to avoid the notice of the inhabitants of the wardroom for a while. I’ll decide in a day or so.

Sending Seaman Anoreth to Brunei may have proved to be an unfortunate foreign policy move by Homeland Security. We’ll have to watch the news for disastrous fallout.

Sounds like she's learning the value of the advice DH gave our kid when he headed for the Marines: 'Keep a low profile!'

Hard to do that when you're swimming with crocodiles though.

Was there earlier news from Brunei? Is it upthread? Very cool. I’d go on and do the riverboat/mangrove thing and just try to keep my head down. It’ll be good practice in the art of Becoming Invisible.

Who won, Batman or the Turtles?
