Sorry rattlesnake, but just caught me off guard with your comment:
Started laughing my butt off so just had to post this as it says a lot!

Just curious... what red button? Where's that red button you once saw on that US ship?

@pakjohn,
Let us know about the ship visits. It would be fun to visit a ship. The only ship I've been to is the MV Doulos for the book fair and the ship tour. It's cool to look at those hardware stuff (GPS, navigation gears).

Especially knowing they're connected to computers, yeah!
How's the wrists doing? Giving them a rest I hope.

I bought a portable ergonomic keyboard and I'm taking more frequent breaks now (stretch breaks) when working on the computer. So my wrists are better now. Thanks for asking.

I can just imagine you getting all indignant again, crossing you arms and saying to yourself:

There were two, one was in a place called the head and it had 'flush' written on it, the other was on a microwave in the galley and it said 'start'. Start what - I ain't starting nuttin'.
