At random: USS SKATE and USS SEADRAGON, after affecting a historic rendezvous under the ice, surfaced together at the North Pole through an opening in the ice on August 1962. What really happened: We didn't surface together, Skate surfaced first. Then we (Seadragon) fired yellow flares forward and aft so Skate could tell us how we were lined up. Remember, under-ice was primitive in these days. Skate called back down rapidly that one flare surfaced on her starboard side and the other to port. She requested we reposition before vertical surfacing. We did. - Coyote (Owen Carlson)

Today is Dip Day! We've hit the bottom and it's all uphill from here. Today is the first day of winter, the shortest day of the year, the Winter Solstice. Starting tomorrow the days will be longer.

Also 4 more shopping days til Christmas. Hope someone is wrapping gifts and the kids haven't torn into them yet.

My new, expedited mode of gift wrapping isn't being met with too much enthusiasm from the wife. Hay, writing names on Amazon boxes works for me, but not her.
