I'm certain he'll sleep well tonight knowing he has your approval

As my approval is all that matters, I'm sure you are right.

I think he likes to think before he acts (and talks).

Well, I voted against him, but I'll take my hat off to him today.
Well done all...

Really?

Didn't realize you could vote against some one.

Thought you could only vote FOR someone.

Also on a happy note, that former child actor that killed Mr and Mrs Hawkes
by tying their feet to an anchor then tossing them overboard was sentenced
to DEATH in California in his attempt to steal their $500K boat. That's on
Google News, too.

For marine interests, it's been a fairly good news day.

There was, of course, another hijacking off Somalia to report....

Cap'n is enjoying Navy Chow from the Wardroom and is unharmed.

3 of 4 pirates dead. (They musta saved one to "encourage" him to rat out
the shore facilities pirates are using before they toss him overboard
further out to sea.)

Maersk said "NO!" when I asked 'em if I could have the lifeboat.....dammit.
