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.

My gentle, gentle darling

Sweet Lady oh

My dear departed darling

Last day: 6/11/2025

 Lady, sleeping,

exhausted by the struggle,

snatching what relief, what rest, she could.

Waiting for more lap-time.
