Ah, I t'was birthed in St. Louis, MO., then wound up livin' a chunk o' me life on Long Beach, Calif. Then traveled around various areas o' Orange County(Stanton, Anahiem, Westminster, Anahiem(again), Fullerton, Anahiem(again), Fullerton(again). Then I t'was moved up ta Tujunga (San Fernando Valley-Los Angeles), then ta Sunland, and finally made me way down ta the San Diego area o' Escondido where I've been fer the last 7 years.

One could say I've traveled the seas o' dry land.

I was born in Duluth, MN, looking over the shores of Lake Superior. Was relocated to Tulsa, Ok. Moved to the Dallas, Tx area to attend college. Should be in Pensecola, Fl area within a year. You can take the child away from the "big water", but, never the water from the soul. And I admit daily, "Land Sickness" is a horrid thing. :o

Say hello to Captain Jack and his wife for me, down there on Mallory selling the pointy bits from sharks. Wonderful folks. You know what Mr. Buffett says, "Key West is the end of the real world." :blink:B)

Everybody beat me to the damn "Birth" pun.

Red Bess and CrimsonCrow... Ah, maybe our ships crossed paths in the night? I too hail from that northern tundra called Minnesota. I grew up in Minneapolis and moved out to Stillwater (just east of the cities by a half hour) when I were 9.

Alas, I am no longer thar. I headed off to Florida for schoolin' and now I reside in the state of Ohio. It be a cruel and wicked place... I hope to someday return to that state of 10000 lakes (and 10000 ponds... and 10000 bits of water that aren't big enough to name by MN standards... yet are considered sizable bodies of water in other states).

Lived in St.Paul for a bit. The weather in the Twin Cities area is a bit fickle. Alot different from Duluth. Where did you attend school in the Land of Flowers? Shall be heading that way myself in round abouts a year. Would like to study Elasmobranchcology, (shark studies), in Pensecola. Will mean changing degree direction, but more fitting for my soul.

I were in Daytona Beach, at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. (A bit different from shark studies... although we did have one student get bit by a shark...)

I have a friend who's stationed at Eglin AFB down there and her husband is in pilot training in Pensecola at the Naval base. They like the area quite a lot, and I've been through there a few times. Very pretty, better than the rest of Florida for sure!

Aye, the weather in the cities is fickle, but I still miss it sometimes. I always liked Duluth though, we'd go up there pretty often to visit, and go canoeing up in the BWCA. Me with my paddle yelling "Arrrr!" in the middle of the wilderness.

Happy to hear you enjoyed my olde stomping grounds. Did you ever go down by the "bay" area when the oar ships come in to load. Man, when I was a kid I used to go down there with my dad and wave at the crew on deck, they would always wave back. It's like this great kodack memory for me. As a kid I always got the biggest kick out of that....Now I feel homesick. And just remember...Sharks in the Seas demand healthy respect, But the ones on land are far more dangerouse. B)
