The hunt for the elusive red sea horse continues:
Many searched:
Where’s Howard?
Howard is in the back of the photo in the shadow. Between Tom and Peter.
I have posted a collection of the land photos from the dive trip on Flickr.

Straws in Water
Posted by Simon
One of the little changes that has snuck (snuck is the passive past tense of sneak. It is not recognized by the Microsoft word dictionary) up on us is the last few years is giving out straws with water at restaurants. It seems to me that using straws when they are not needed is an environmental abomination. But how did it happen? Did the straw makers association convince the staff at restaurants that the customers want straws in their water glasses? Or did it just flow over from sodas? And don’t get me started on sodas, the American fat pill.

Rainbow Sandals
Posted by Simon
Here is a free post card from the company that makes one of my favorite products. Rainbow Sandals. Lillian got me a few the last time she was there at the factory store. I would be happy to send you one if you ask…but supplies are limited.
I thought that I couldn’t wear sandals with the strap between my toes but Lillian raved about Rainbow Sandals and slowly convinced Nurit and Rebecca to try them. One year for my birthday or some other event she bought me some and to be polite I tried them. They are great, they don’t hurt between your toes at all and I can’t wait until summer to start wearing them every day. I now have three pairs. And now Rainbow has free postcards. Life can’t get any better than this.
