I was backpacking and surfing through the south Pacific in the 80s and wound up on Bora Bora and somehow scored a fare on the beach at Bloody Marys for next to nothing when they were closed. My girlfriend and I were the only guests except for the always drunk American fisherman who lived on his fishing boat there. Think his name was Leo. We'd swim with mantas right off their dock. Things have changed since then I imagine.

Fact: the dude who collects for using the moorings in BB is named Moana.

>I don't think it's necessarily the case
The question is whether you're willing to risk your life and all the others in the boat to find out.

We actually have a term that was coined for this exact dilemma, Lifeboat Ethics.

I'm surprised that none of the LIV golfers made the list. Maybe because most details of their contracts have been kept secret. Golf Monthly estimates Phil Mickelson's 2022 total earnings at $138 million, the bulk of that in the upfront payment of half of his $200 million signing bonus. They estimate Dustin Johnson's 2022 earnings at $97 million.

Loudest sonic booms yet. Thought the windows were going to fall out of the building. Every dog in town was barking at the same time and every bird was in flight.

Me too. Fun that is. The color of the lint is the average of all 'shedding' clothes tilted to the color of the items that are shedding the most.
