The Cruising Life
Matt said on the news today (cuz I don’t watch TV except for baseball games. If there’s anything important I need to know about the world, http://www.xanga.com/dingus5 is bound to let us know) they mentioned a couple who stopped at a group of islands in the Pacific. The islands are part of some kind of government testing thing.
Apparently, this couple sold their house, all their belongings, quit their jobs, packed up the kids, and bought a sailboat. They launched from the Mississippi Delta area, and haven’t been seen since.
Well, until a few days ago, when they stopped by these islands.
And I was like, “What? What happened? Did they moor and start cooking dinner and then BLAMMO, the island exploded??? What happened?”
And Matt said, “No, the island didn’t explode. They just test guidance systems there.”
I dunno. Any testing of guidance systems, I would think would involve explosions!
But I’m glad to know they’re okay. Ah, the cruising lifestyle!
