Have we gone a full circle and come to the origin of how CRUSTy got
his name?  <BWG>

We have plenty of those in my neck of the woods in Duke Power country
in SC.  Folks come from all over the state to dive in the Hot Hole
near Devil's Fork, where the nuclear plant provides the WARM water
in the Hot Hole.  :-)   Did my ADVANCED cert there.  All I could
remember was that in the navigational part of doing a simple SQUARE
pattern, N, E, S, W to get back to the starting point -- by the
second leg E, I was already 50 yards BELOW the starting point, blown
by the hot water current.

That was when I start going to Couzmel and dive the warm current
there instead.  :-)))

Any chance of a mini-mini-NED-dinner to discuss this and other
BS when Sue gets here tomorrow?  :-)
