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)

Subject: Lessons from a previous post by Larry Launcher

Lessons that can be learned when considering the recent brew haha or battles that were once fought in the After Battery

* Words that soak into your ears are whispered ... not yelled.
* You cannot unsay a cruel word.
* The best sermons are lived, not preached.
* Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
* Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.
* If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.
* The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin'.
* Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.
*Lettin the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin it back in
* Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
