Good Morning!

[Paul B]

Cold, dark, 23 degree, windy walk this morning. This is a Mans walk just before the sun rose.
It makes you feel alive. (I know, I look like a terrorist) Hard to take a selfie with big mittens on.

Good morning. It's pitch dark and 30 degrees so I am getting ready to go for my morning walk.
Perfect conditions.

• So now cocaine is legal in Oregon, but straws aren’t. That must be frustrating..
  
  Still trying to get my head around the fact that ‘Take Out’ can mean food, dating, or murder.
  
  Threw out my back sleeping and tweaked my neck sneezing so I’m probably just one strong fart away from complete paralysis.
  
  The older I get, the more I understand why roosters scream to start their day.
  
  Being popular on Facebook is like sitting at the ‘cool table’ in the cafeteria of a mental hospital.
  
  You know you’re over 50 when you have ‘upstairs ibuprofen’ and ‘downstairs ibuprofen’.
  
  How did doctors come to the conclusion that exercise prolongs life, when… the rabbit is always jumping but only lives for around two years, and… the turtle that doesn’t exercise at all lives over 200 years.
  
  I too was once a male trapped in a female body…but then my mother gave birth.
  
  If only vegetables smelled as good as bacon.
  
  The biggest joke on mankind is that computers have begun asking humans to prove they aren’t a robot.
  
  When a kid says “Daddy, I want mommy” that’s the kid version of “I’d like to speak to your supervisor”.
  
  It’s weird being the same age as old people.
  
  Just once, I want a username and password prompt to respond CLOSE ENOUGH.
  
  Last night the internet stopped working so I spent a few hours with my family. They seem like good people.
  
  If Adam and Eve were Cajuns they would have eaten the snake instead of the apple and saved us all a lot of trouble.
  
  We celebrated last night with a couple of adult beverages …… Metamucil and Ensure.
  
  You know you are getting old when friends with benefits means knowing someone who can drive at night.
  
  Weight loss goal: To be able to clip my toenails and breathe at the same time.
  
  After watching how some people wore their masks, I understand why contraception fails.
  
  Some of my friends exercise every day. Meanwhile I am watching a show I don’t like because the remote fell on the floor.
  
  For those of you that don’t want Alexa or Siri listening in on your conversation, they are making a male version….it doesn’t listen to anything.
  
  I just got a present labeled, ‘From Mom and Dad,’ and I know darn well that Dad has no idea what’s inside.
  
  Now that Covid has everyone washing their hands correctly…next week…Turn Signals.
  
  Someone said, “Nothing rhymes with orange.” I said, “No, it doesn’t.”
  
  The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The realist adjusts his sails.
  
  There’s a fine line between a numerator and a denominator. Only a fraction of people will find this funny.
  
  Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.
  
  I have many hidden talents. I just wish I could remember where I hid them.
  
  My idea of a Super Bowl is a toilet that cleans itself.
  
  Exercise helps you with decision-making. It’s true. I went for a run this morning and decided I’m never going again.

We are supposed to get snow in a few hours here in the Northeast. I love snow days and it’s been awhile!

 

[Paul B]

Ok so this isn't today. It's my backyard probably 10 years ago.

 

[fishguy242]

Good morning all... y'all just keep that white stuff up there...

 

[Paul B]

Good Morning. Brisk 32 degree walk this morning with just a spattering of snow. This is just as I got back when the sun rose.

Good morning all...

I am so excited, I just now received this E Mail from "Reefing with ReefBum" who interviewed me on YouTube. It blew me away and I can't wait to call her.

I remember this letter.

Hi Paul, I hope you are well. I received a very unique email from someone who is trying to contact u. Below is the entire email.

Happy New Year!

Dear Keith:
My name is Kathleen F______. I wrote to Sargent Paul Baldassano in Vietnam when I was in 4th grade as part of a Junior Amvet program I was in. My Dad was very involved in Veteran organizations so he signed up his children to participate. I have a returned letter from him and just found it again in my attic.
I just did a google search and find your interview with Paul posted to YouTube.
I would very much like to reach out to him. Would it be possible for you to reach out to him and if I could write to him? My address is ------------

I remember that letter and texted her. She said she has Goosebumps and will call me tonight. She sent me the letter that I sent her in 1970.

She texted me the letter I sent her but I can't figure out how to put it on here from my text.

Kathleen called me last night and my wife and I were so excited. She is a very well read and intelligent sounding Lady who is also very accomplished. She is still working as an executive for a huge company that everyone knows. She can speak some Spanish and French and traveled and lived much of the world.

We spoke about 45 minutes and we invited her here as she is in New Jersey so not to far away.
Very nice conversation and I can't wait to meet her.

Recently she visited the Viet Nam Memorial Wall in DC and searched for my name on the there. Of course I wasn't there so she figured I lived through the war. (I am also happy about that)

She was cleaning her attic and came across the letter I wrote to her from Viet Nam. She Googled me and came across my interview with ReefBum on YouTube and in the beginning of that interview Keith (the owner and interviewer) mentioned that I was a Sargent in Viet Nam and lived on Long Island so she figured it had to be me.

My life turned into a country song today! The engine blew out in the vehicle I was driving to a remote work location, it was -30C, a crazy neighbour showed up at our house and attacked our doors with a knife and boots (and then smashed out the back window of another neighbour's truck)...and I came home from work to find all of my livestock in my big tank dead from what appears to be an algal bloom. Sigh. And everyone was doing well this morning! I thought about tearing down the tank for three minutes before deciding it was an opportunity to cultivate coral, which I could not do with my gluttonous filefish.

Thanks for reading.

Good morning
