BASE Jumping at Good Harbor
The guy’s name is unimportant, but he said he was working up to something a little taller…
Submitted by Charlie Carroll
Did You Know? That BASE jumping, also sometimes written as B.A.S.E jumping, is an activity that employs an initially packed parachute to jump from fixed objects? “BASE” is an acronym that stands for four categories of fixed objects from which one can jump: buildings, aerials, spans (bridges), and earth (cliffs).

T Minus 4 Days and Counting
Rebecca, Ryan, Frankie and me got together this morning to put the finishing touches of the tournament this weekend. I’d just like to extend my thanks and adoration to our team of civic minded, diligent and fun people who have put their energy into making this happen.
Great people all around who get “fun” and community!

Thank you Eloise and Madeline
Sunday afternoon Eloise and Madeline and Joey stopped by, affording Mom Jill the opportunity to go to the market. We played dolls, but only for a moment—the girls were much more interested in Cosmos the Cat, Rosie the Dog, the magnifying glass, and butterflies. Several days later an envelope bursting with drawings made by the girls arrived in the mail; drawings of Cosmos and Rosie, butterflies and hearts, diamonds and sunshine. Thank you Elosie and Madeline for the super fun afternoon and beautiful drawings. I love your special gift!

Dave Says,
It’s gonna be a slugfest this week as we welcome back Ms. Diane Blue, the Octomom of the Blues. The gloves come off as we hit you below your belt of scotch. She’ll be railing and wailing thru the whole canon of R&B, chickpop, and funque. And she’s bringing in the artillery, too: None other than that keyboard octopus himself, Mr. Cliff Spencer. Cliff has disappeared for awhile now but he’s straightened things out with his parole officer so he’s back in the fold. We miss him!
And welcome a newbie (for us) : Mr. Jeff “Jungleboy” Thompson, on drummps. Hold the elephants, Sabu. He works with the divine Miss DB all the time. Ungawah! Czech him out! Of course, Mr. Greg T. and myself will be there, taking notes, and squeezing them back out. Don’t let the weather fool you…it’s gonna be hot inside!
And for those of you who are under-employed or suffering from chronic malaise, why not come down to the Rose Baker Senior Center next Monday and work out those kinks. Once again, the Old Salty jazz Band is at it again,swinging thru the trees of life. I’m getting tired of repeating myself, but these guys are a national treasure, and I’m so proud that they let me play with them. It’s free! Hours 1 pm till 3. Wear your truss!

More marine origami
Small fishing boat near a lighthouse
Should the lighthouse be taller? I tried to get the proportions from photos of Eastern Point lighthouse, more or less. It is probably not quite in the right proportion to the size of the fishing boat, but folding from dollar bills limits the range of size I can produce…
No dollar bills were damaged during this production… All three could be unfolded and put back in my wallet.
