Only as real as we chose it to be. Having started in an American base school in Norway and coast to coast in Canada it is hard to believe in strong heritage when things change every two to three years.

Living in Labrador in the 90s the winter sky could be your clock. Orion in the south when it was time to go to the party. When Hale-Bopp was passing it was visible to a level where it almost became unremarkable except that it was. The only comparable sky has been one night in Van.Isle alpine.

Chorus
So here I lay in my 23rd year,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
It's been 6 years since we sailed away
And I just made Palm Beach yesterday
Chorus

Chorus
The Blackwater shook and pitched on her side,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
Prince was smashed like a bowl of eggs
And the next volley carried off both me legs
December 21, 2025 at 6:38 PM
Chorus
At length we stood two cables away,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
Our tacti-cool rifles made an awful din
But with one fat brick the Cart stove us in
December 21, 2025 at 6:37 PM
Chorus
The Cartie lay low down with snow,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
She was slim and trim and fast through the bays
But to catch her took the Blackwater two whole days
December 21, 2025 at 6:37 PM
Chorus
On the seventeenth day we sailed again,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
When a bloody great Cartie hove in sight With our tacti-cool rifles we made the fight
December 21, 2025 at 6:37 PM
Chorus
On the Don’s birthday we put to sea,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
We were three days to Little Saint James
Lusting like madmen all the way
December 21, 2025 at 6:36 PM
Chorus
The Blackwater powerboat was a sickening sight,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
She'd a list to the port and her deck to shame
And the cook in galley with his lolis and blow
December 21, 2025 at 6:36 PM
Oh, Erik Prince cried the town,
How I wish I was in Palm Beach now,
For twenty brave men all maggats who
Would make for him the Blackwater’s crew
December 21, 2025 at 6:35 PM
Chorus:
God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for Cartel snow
We'd fire our guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Palm Beach pier
The last of Prince’s Privateers.

Don’t think I have had that one. I wait every year for a local butcher to make their vaudois sausage and then make it feel at home in papet vaudois. Can you have enough leeks? Never.

You are almost skidoo drunk at that point.

Drafting that would shame a grade 11 class who would have known the experience of living in a house. And having TA’d an engineering drafting class, that‘s a fail. To say nothing of code layout requirements.

I do something similar with goose. Get the oven hot, turn down to 315 and put the goose in. Goofed one year and left it hot for half an hour. Not the best that year. That is why it is temp down then in, and not in and then down.
