  • So many surprises with a boat… I learned how to drive, launch, & dock on an outboard piss yellow Grady White. Switched to inboard/outboard & relearn it all; it was a completely different steering experience.

    We also watched some idiots blow up their boat because they didn’t maintain it. Fuel leaked, fumes built in the engine cavity, & when the driver went to crank it…. kaboom.

    Luckily the boat was already in the water, drifting back away from the dock, & the driver hadn’t let passengers onboard yet.

    To my knowledge, driver survived, but was badly injured.

    Not sharing this to scare off OP, boats are awesome when you know what you’re doing.





  • And if it’s nature that catches your interest, in addition to walking, you could follow a live stream of some animal you may or may not care about.

    I got into watching an Osprey hatch her eggs on a stream. Didn’t even know about the birds until I started, but the hook set quickly.

    Watched that feed for weeks, checking to see who’s been eating, who’s been pooping, & who’s still sleeping. Pretty satisfying by the time the chicks left the nest.







  • According to the father, the super intendant rolled his eyes at the daughter during disciplinary hearing when she tried explained her behavior, & then expelled the daughter for doing the same thing her bully’s did to her.

    Given that, I can understand a proud father holding some measure of a grudge over that, but not enough of a grudge to attack the person.

    I think the comment’s OP is expressing something similar, being protective of a youth over an administrator jeopardizing the youth’s future.

    I don’t think OP is condoning the attack, just acknowledging there’s more going on here than ignorance & racism.



  • You should submit voice samples to casting agencies that land voice over talent for commercials, and other media formats.

    You don’t need an agent or anything of the sort to get started, just a decent sample of your vocal work.

    Get it submitted wherever you can, you’ll never know what might come of it.

    I was a post production supervisor in Los Angeles for a bit. I worked with VO talent, many of whom had entirely separate careers.

    One guy was a bus operator & rode his bus to the studio after shift change. He was awesome.
