'Evening, Tonk. You're still up, too, eh?

It's only 2030 here

[Old Sarge]

Whoa. All of our watch training is OJT with a senior guy for two weeks, and then you're flying solo.

We've got procedure books stacked along one side of the main console. Phone contacts, alert lists, etc.

I had to take courses with US Power Squadrons on all number of things. I remember Marine radio instruction was one of them.

Outstanding, Skipper. Glad to have you helping out.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Well, I'm home and I had just under 3 gallons left. Enough to get a few more miles,
but pretty poor planning. Here's a pick~me~up.

[Kathy in Alaska]

WTG, Sarge, looks like you've taken the last 2 hills! Good job!

[Old Sarge]

Aw, it was too easy. We'll see what happens when Burka-Boy wakes up...

[radu]

Do ya all think that Tonk & Blackie had SOMETHING to do with the 6.6 earthquake in Taiwan last night?

*giggle* One of these days I'll have to learn how to play with graphics. This one is too funny! I love it!

[Old Sarge]

Have you had any "company" around there late at night lately? Haunted places fascinate me.

Well, now that you mention it...

That same night, I got visited in a really wierd dream.

I was in an old Queen-anne Victorian house. Parlor, high-back chairs, tiffany glass, the works.

And there were about a dozen or so people in the parlor, all sitting, and I went around the room talking to them. Each one asked me a few things, and wouldn't anser anything I said.

I got the impression I was, well, being interviewed. They were finding out about me.

I woke up right at dawn, feeling as if I slept the whole night. I think they wanted me to join them.

[Calpernia]

Ok, who is burka boy?

[Old Sarge]

OH surely you know Tomkow by NOW...

[Old Sarge]

Kath, you timed that just a LITTLE too tight, now, didn't you?

Now, if I can just find my mug...

[Calpernia]

Ok, I know that Nic. How did he get dubbed Burka Boy?

[radu]

Creeeeeeeeeeepy! I've heard that some of them get jealous of the living and would dearly love to have us join them. I've been lucky enough not to have any run-ins with that type. Just mischievous, once in a while the angry.

Those here at the farm are mainly mischievous, fortunately. They move things! Not just across the room but from one building to another. They've caused more than one argument between me and my hubby, each blaming the other for something's disappearance. LOL! Most things have been found but a couple are still "somewhere".

[Old Sarge]

I forget who tagged him with that, but I just borrowed it.

"Chicks Dig Burkhas", indeed.

[Old Sarge]

Mainly, They just want acknowledgement that you know they're there. They want attention.

Oh, but I could go on about this subject...

[Soaring Feather]

See you Sarge, gonna hit those feathers.


Be safe.


*HUGS*

[Old Sarge]

Good night, Madam.

[Soaring Feather]

See you Doo!
