"Love, Life, and a Rock Quarry" — AWWWW!!!

"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.

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?

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.
