As for the oarfish pic, are you sure you don't mean 2014?

Oops, now Murph knows he cannot trust me because of notorious typos. Thank you for catching that, Roy.

Äs for where I have been, life's little chores got ahead of me. I am still not caught up but Murph's post caught my attention because I lived in the Los Angeles Smog Basin for 30 years and saw the strange fish that showed up periodically. One of my favorite haunts was Cabrillo Beach. The Cabrillo Marine Museum had a nice oarfish specimen mounted over the entry to the second room. I understand it was stolen after I moved to Tucson.

Did you ever go down to the beach for the grunion runs, Roy?

Grunion Run on Cabrillo Beach


Murph probably would find such a thing hard to believe. The fish come out of the ocean at midnight (approximately) to breed and lay eggs in the sand. The only predators up at that time of night are humans, who catch a bunch and fry them right on the beach. I thought my friends were playing a joke on me when they invited me to a grunion run one night. It was no joke and the fish were delicious.

Sorry (sort of) if my lack of researching such topics disappoints you, Wayne, but I come here with these "discoveries" of "mine" because I trust YOU more than another source to get to the real facts and history very quickly. Also, I enjoy the conversations, which sometimes include varying points-of-view, motivated (notice, I did not say "inspired") by some of my postings. You're fun to talk to (yes, grammar fans, that is a Dangling Preposition. )

I am not disappointed Murph. You explained well, "Also, I enjoy the conversations..." So, if I had told you the fish was from a science fiction movie and not real, you would have been pleased with the conversation?

I enjoy your company no matter what shenanigans and/or facts you present. You are one of the good fellows; nothing can change that.

What is your take/opinion on what you posted Robert?

Did you know that your joining MTJ on Mon Mar 02, 2015 7:24 am caused an earthquake?
"A magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck offshore of Nicaragua 33 km (21 mi) southwest of Jiquilillo on March 2 at a depth of 60.0 km (37.3 mi)."

And, after causing that earthquake, you posted on Thu Mar 19, 2015 5:03 pm, "thought i'd take the time to say hello everybody. names rob".
The earth rumbled for two days after that post cumulating in, " A magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck the Andaman and Nicobar Islands 114 km (71 mi) east southeast of Mohean on March 21 at a depth of 21.5 km (13.4 mi)."

Your next post, on Sun Mar 22, 2015 12:33 pm, "i took this photo while i was doing a trade show. new york city pier show," caused two earthquakes.
"A magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck offshore of Chile 91 km (57 mi) west northwest of Iquique on March 22 at a depth of 20.0 km (12.4 mi). This is likely a foreshock of the event of the following day. Chile A magnitude 6.3 earthquake struck offshore of Chile 94 km (58 mi) northwest of Iquique on March 23 at a depth of 21.0 km (13.0 mi)."

Are you and the oarfish in cahoots with each other?

My opinion? Your posting dates are true. The earthquakes and dates are true. The correlation between your posts and the earthquakes is pure superstitious nonsense. So is your post. I do thank you for posting it though. You gave me an excuse to post this post on your post. As Murph says, "I enjoy the conversations." Me too.

Very superstitious,
Writing's on the wall,
Very superstitious,
Ladders bout' to fall
Thirteen-month-old baby,
Broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck,
The good things in your past

When you believe in things
That you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition aint the way

Everybody scream!

Very superstitious,
Nothin' more to say,

That you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way,
No, no, no

Songwriter: WONDER STEVIE

I wonder if that was Stevie Wonder.........

I wonder if that was Stevie Wonder.........

Did you ask Wikipedia, the source of all true knowledge?

No. It was in reference to your posting Wonder Stevie.

Edit 1

I previously answered the wrong question, thinking Rufus was asking if Stevie Wonder was the author of the song.

The correct answer is, yes it was Stevie Wonder. Maybe his name is printed WONDER STEVIE because Jobete does not own the right to
Stevie Wonder's name... or maybe some other reason.

Did you ever go down to the beach for the grunion runs, Roy?

No, but I'm delighted you enjoyed it. I've been known to run for Hot Wheels in the morning, when the stores open. And I've also been known to run for Tommy's burgers in the middle of the night.
