At random: The USS Blenny SS 324, on her last patrol of WW II sank 63 vessels. One by torpedo and 62 by deck gunfire, demolition charges set by boarding parties or by burning. On several occasions shotguns were fired through the boats bottoms. These were all vessels under the 500 ton JANAC limit for tonnage sunk and not counted in the "official" totals or ships sunk. This is also a record for the most vessels ever sunk by a submarine on one patrol.

I know I lead a pretty sheltered life, but, WT* over? Looks like some mighty strange folks play this game. Most of them write some very strange words and have strange sounding names.

We went out to Florida's deepest waterfall a few months ago.

We parked at the designated place and walked to the overlook.

It was there.

Turns out the creek in the woods falls some 75 feet into a sinkhole. Amazing. We took pictures.

Then we left.

Coyote, that was the "Niagara Falls of the Sunshine State". People of Florida just marvel at the sight.
