On the way to do laundry one day, someone shouted from a car, "Weirdo!" I was so tickled off - but then tickled - that I asked a stranger in the laundromat parking lot to take a picture of my epic weirdness. I don't think of myself as having a style but, if pressed, I'll take weirdo.

Just realized I'd left the word queer out of my bio as though meeting someone face to face. Not a lot of people mistake me for straight. (Though my LTR with James confuses some.)

Living on a sailboat, I am deeply committed to keeping the water out. The rest of the rules don't apply to you so much. The liturgy is "Keep the mast up, the keel down, the water out and the people aboard." And yes, Beluga Greyfinger counts as people.

House batteries are aged and venerable AGMs but propulsion is LiFePO4 that, from its 48v heights, supplies the super easygoing 12v batteries a flood of yums
