Drew, no fair taking the good weather back with you. It's overcast and rainy here again.

I've been out on deck for the past couple of hours taking pictures and shooting some HD video. We'll see how it turns out but I've got about 5 or 6 minutes total of 1080p footage of the scenery. It's just so clear and amazing without a cloud anywhere. I was chatting with one of the crew and even he was blown away by how amazing this week has been. He said when we pulled into Ketchikan yesterday and he saw how clear it was he almost started crying. It is apparently just never this clear.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I was in Ketchikan years ago on an Alaskan cruise, and, yeah, it's pretty up there. I also liked the times when we were just out on the ocean and covered in fog and you couldn't see five feet in front of you. It gave me a real admiration for the early explorers who had no goddamn idea what was out there and still kept going.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Finally, one day, he got thoroughly frustrated with me and said, "How can you be so SURE?" And I had to go back and explain every logical progression and theory I'd already run through and he just sat there, open-mouthed and said, "There's no way that you went through all of those that fast."
Bwah! I do the *exact* same thing. It drives both DH and myself crazy - DH because I'm a know-it-all smartass, and me because I don't understand why he doesn't trust me to already thought of all those things!!
I am insanely jealous of ND right now.

Hubby is the one who makes the logical leaps, and he gets *pissed* when I don't make the same leaps. We cannot work on the same project if there are multiple ways to do something.

You just nailed why I get so frustrated when boyfriend doesn't "get" my leaps.

He looks at me and thinks my little red choo choo has gone chugging 'round the bend, and *I've always been this way! I just could hide it better when you weren't all up in my bidness 24/7!*
Ahahahaha. That describes some of mine & Pete's conversations perfectly, especially during the times when between jobs and at home.

Heh. I do that all the time. The Boy can ask a question and I can answer the next 3 logical questions that proceed from the first one, without him needing to ask them.
He, on the other hand, when asked a question, pauses for so long before answering that I've asked him more than once if he heard me. So one time, at shindig for his family, I asked his sisters-in-law if they have the same problem with his 2 brothers.
They just laughed and laughed and laughed and told me to get used to it. Then his mom told me his dad is even worse than "the boys."
In stark contrast, The Boy is still a little whipsawed when I answer a question before the asker is even finished asking it.
