It's been murder for a while... extra long days in RW (Real World, no trademark possible), trying to lead a secret, Super's life, fighting a cold or something much like an alien trying to get out without the benefit of the gastric bypass, then all that free association -- aren't cold meds the best!?

OK, so you know about the mechanical hippo... It was a guess to get out of actually CARRYING anything. I have to do stuffs in the RW, I don't want to break a sweat in here, too.

So, let's say we cop of couple of ton o' peanuts, now mashed beyond repair, and repair to our dirigible. "What?" you say, "the last WE knew, we were floating at SEA!" A clever observation. Keep it up, my lad, and you'll go far. Probably in a penal institution.

Aside from the minor unpleasantness of briefly touching down at sea, and having that pod o' whales mistake us for a drugged out hippy whale chick (embarrassing.. imagine the side forming Tie-dye, and the squeaks and groans from the over worked flabbercasters sounding quite like a whale in heat). Luckily, the ol' bump and grind propelled us high enough in the air to clear water and fire up the inboards. Button number 17, "what to press in the even of a whale-pod friskyness", solved the problem. We've a full head of steam (thanks to the on-board espresso machine), topped the tanks off, doffed the tank tops, spent a good couple of days lounging in the sun top side (smiling for the spy satellites, of course, while our flabber congregated. In retrospect, Lever No. 7, "this makes it go" was a dead giveaway, but I can't help it if my Urdu is a bit rusty.

Looking down at the map on the chart table, I noticed that an animated balloon bobbed along with our travels, up to and including the wet spot on the surface when we touched down. Luckily, all the little lights in the holographic balloon sim are once again green, or at least disco-ish, and we're on our way.

Bermuda, now firmly in our rear-view mirror, if we had one, was a nice fly-over, even if it was at night. If it weren't for the noise from the AA on the island, I think we would have enjoyed it instead of annoyed it.

Who's been monkeying w/ the radio?
