The Good Old Days: Captain and Lady

 

The study.

My pals 

 RIP

Cutting Onions, Coble-Style

 

Cutting onions, Coble-style, to hold off the crying 

Old-school dive mask.

I first used that mask in the late-1960s.

I believe I wore that mask for my first open-water dive in 1978.

After that, I upgraded to a prescription mask.

Thank you Uncle Bob for the guidance.

 Lady, sleeping,

exhausted by the struggle,

snatching what relief, what rest, she could.
