When we lived on Guam, my wife and I were heavily into scuba diving and, yes, spear fishing. I had the latest in diving gear and, while it wasn't a top of the line spear gun, it was good for most purposes. On some occasions, I could even spear a fish.<br /><br />Then I met a young Micronesian, from Ponape, I think, who didn't bother with scuba Ken and Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853986342327863440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478505267875308908.post-36281749768934420572009-06-01T11:05:20.122-07:002009-06-01T11:05:20.122-07:00Well, Simply, ya learn something new every day - c...Well, Simply, ya learn something new every day - can't know everything by the time we're 21, can we?<br /><br />I am really hoping I can go out again soon.

Now I'm harkening back to my days as a boy, both wantonly killing things (and learning from it, eventually), and eating frog legs that my Dad had gigged the night before, after his night shift on the rig and while I slept. They were delicious. I also remember the big ol' gopher snake that 'Bird' brought me (that was his nickname because he worked at the top of the rig). <br /><brJoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409883521642115031noreply@blogger.com
