“If it were possible to view the universe as a whole, from afar, it would appear pale green, between aquamarine and turquoise.”*
whenever i sing along to yellow submarine, i always belt "sea of green" loudest. it sounds wistful in a happy kind of way. did you know that the sea of green is much more than an approach to growing your own happy plants at home? it has been used to describe places from jericho to palenque, the ancient mayan city of the jaguar. many references to "seas of green" remind me of the global warning...
i should take a trip home to see my nephews soon.

incidentally, i've been oddly fascinated by submarines my entire life. actually all things nautical strangely intrigue me. it's strange because i considered a career in marine biology when i was little, but then i discovered i was mildly afraid of the ocean and more than mildly unenamored of biology classes. still, i visit the maritime museum in manitowoc when i am about those parts.
nuclear energy is also fascinating, and the nuclear power plant is conveniently located none too far from the maritime museum.
