Cool, sounds good. I am thinking of changing the whole layout (maybe for thread 30?). I also wanted to make it one thread a month, so we could figure out where things were easier, but never got any feedback on that. I'm not so good with image stuff, so I would be thrilled if you would help out. I will freepmail you about it at some point, but would like to ditch the big square image in the upper left (that's not currently showing up because I should have switched it to my server. ;-) ).
Don't miss the photos in #10 they are jpg's.
This one will make you think.
I don't know a much about ocean currents, do know that there is a direct way that stuff floats from Japan to the Oregon coast....

BELLINGHAM, Wash. -- It was hard to miss. The stubby missile,
floating about 14 miles off the Washington coast, was crusted with
barnacles, seaweed and seagull droppings and had a live seagull
sitting on its nose.
The trawler Windjammer had just pulled its net when skipper Erik Eide
spotted the object on Sunday afternoon. He decided to move in for a
closer look.
It looked to him like a World War II buzz bomb. "It was kind of freaky
at first," Eide said.
Then he remembered seeing something similar on the Discovery
Channel and he was pretty sure it was a type of sonar rig. Eide
decided to haul it on board in hopes that it could be worth something.
"We're just four guys struggling to make a living," he said.
When they scraped off some barnacles and seaweed, they saw Cyrillic
letters and that's when Eide decided they better report their find to
the U.S. Coast Guard. Minutes later, the Coast Guard radioed back to
say it was coming to take a look.
