Return to the primordial ooze...
So I've suddenly gone from someone who has hardly ever played in the Ocean (I was spoiled by growing up on the great lakes) to spending a great deal of my time working under water. Granted I've been warned that Puget sound does not equal the Ocean but whatever It's briny and deep enough for the purposes of this blog The thing is that I've caught myself going through a second childhood of sorts. It's all so alien that I act like a little kid swimming up and poking at things and then jumping back to see what they do. It's really goofy. After spending a good portion of my life in the woods and acclimating to the characteristics of animals trying to imaging the cycle of life under water is completely counter-intuitive and its an amazing mindfuck to imagine that life as we know it started there.

I'm a clam farmer of a different sort... 
I've spent most of my off hours this week watching "Shark Week" learning all about the top of the food chain under the ocean. I remember hearing the freighters from Lake St. Claire growing up. I've always preferred living near water, without it my sense of direction is a bit wonky. Do you get much of a chance to get up to Seattle?
