"The following year, they started teaching scuba diving classes." When my father was taking scuba classes (in the early 1970s) the "final" was in an old quarry. Despite being early-summer, he said the water was COLD! He guessed that it was partly the depth, partly the spring feeding it.
Surfboard napping! I'm in! Bring it to Santa Cruz, California. While others are hitting the big ones at Steamer Lane, the surfboard nappers can head on over to Twin Lakes for a little snooze just outside the Harbor. And as for the Quarry Story: money, success, romance -- goodness, how I do love a happy ending, Mark. There are so few of them in real life.
Thanks, Sharron. I love happy endings, also. I read fiction as an escape from "real life." So I write that way also. I enjoy making it happy or fantastical. If I want to be depressed, I can watch the news. 😉
"Love, Life, and a Rock Quarry" — AWWWW!!!

I have never jumped into a quarry lake but I always wanted to. I bet the water is cold most of the time.
Always a treat, Mark. Thank you for the fun stories! The only question that’s nagging me: will surfboard nappers compete in the summer Olympics?
I don't imagine that would be riveting television. 🤣
Thanks, Justin. 🤓
Hahaha! 🤣

I am all for napping at any location. 🤣
Brilliant 👏
Thank you, Sunil. 🤓
Starlin, my friend, you’ve done it (made Monday morning enjoyable) again!
Thanks, C.L. Enjoy your nap. 🤓
Nap? I don’t even own a surfboard!
I am sure Aksel, Henrik, Jakob, and Tobias will cut you a deal on one. 😉
Ah, well, CL - there is always the Laz-E-Boy and the Barca lounger...
