Apparently they are now on agendas, and if they don't produce, their funding gets cut off. Bring back the mad ones I say.

Yeah, he was working the ship (delivering water and diesel), got his leg tangled around the rope, over the side, never to be seen again. So they sent me there to take his place. I ain't so stupid when it comes to ropes, and high places.

Glad you made it. If not we wouldn't have known what we missed.

Believe me, I have so many personal stories of working at those places, it is a surprise I am here at all.

Was just thinking that Frankenstein clip I put on was from 1935 and I was born only 14 years later.

I know, I remember a thread about guessing your age somewhere along the line. Didn't do lighthouses but steelmills were not a treat either. But hey, we made it. And, had a lot of experiences we can share when the memory is jogged.

Was a guessing game. But not that long ago. You, if I remember correctly, you posted clues.
