No shame in that, looks like a very rough day. I was thinking to
myself how difficult it must be to get any serious work done in
conditions like that.


You learn how to walk on walls.


And not spill your coffee ;-)



A useful skill for life. My wife cracks up because I can walk, trot,
trip ... whatever ... and never spill a drop. Your hand becomes a gyro
of sorts and the coffee cup sorta "floats" over the bumps. :-)

I never drank coffee before the Navy but learned quickly that strong,
black coffee was your lifeblood. Still drink it like that today, 40
years later.
