While I'm off getting surgery and recovering in Seattle, feel free to use the comments here to post your best sea stories, or whatever else strikes your fancy. (Nothing too controversial, please!) I'll hopefully be able to post occasionally from my phone, but I probably won't be able to include links, like this one to a story about "Hey, Shipwreck" creator Pat Hrabe setting up shop in Kitsap County now that his recruiting tour in northern Idaho is done. As always, The Sub Report is the best place to get your submarine news links, and all the submarine bloggers listed on my blogroll to the right will have great commentary while I'm indisposed/Bubblehead, The Stupid Shall Be Punished. Political Game's thoughts re: Bubblehead's battle with cancer.

• Sen. Crapo starts spinning/Unequivocal Notion
• Obama comes west to highlight renewable energy/Rocky Barker
• Idaho's reliance on federal dollars -- a reality check/Kevin Richert
• Tuesday Morning Coffee/Unequivocal Notion
• Henry Brooks Adams/Political Game
• Honestly!/Morialekafa

DFO: Please keep Joel "Bubblehead" Kennedy/The Stupid Shall Be Punished in your thoughts and prayers as he continues to battle stomach cancer.
