Touch old NED roots??  That sounds disgusting!  FUC 6.1.

As I am speeding toward Pitcairn (UK), I seem to recall the La Paz
NEDfesters must be converging on La Paz about this time.

But Pitcairn (whose population has dwindled to 50) will not even

I learned from the scuba coordinator on the cruiseship that there
is actually a SCUBA SHOP on Easter Island!  Alas, she immediately
quelched any thoughts of mine about diving there by pointing out
that the frigid waters of Easter Island would require diving in
a full wetsuit.  I still have several days to mull over that
intriguing once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of diving on Easter

John, you've been working too hard!

Doug was long gone from Scuba-L, and was mercifully spared of the
trauma of the massacre.  In fact, he thought we are still in
Scuba-L until I tipped him off to the little secret of Scuba-SE.

At any rate, Long Live Doug's FUC!

Da Feeeesh.
