Too tired to go to his birthday party, so I have been sitting here, drinking martinis in his honor, and remembering. Maybe later I'll go scrape the skin off my hands.

To a friend I wish was still here.

Happy birthday, Alex!

Mea Culpa devonapple  - I blame the hot weather for my not checking my calendar. And I'm all the more embarrassed, because you're right up there as far as people I want to wish a happy birthday to!

In any case, I hope you had an incredible day of birth commemoration, with more fun and pleasure than you could handle.  And hell, why let it stop? I wish you to have more fun and pleasure than you can handle for the rest of the summer! On me!*

The 100th birthday of the man who invented the aqualung and the diving saucer, and who popularized the importance of oceanography and ecology really needs to be recognized. Especially given current events.

Personally, Cousteau was a huge part of my childhood, both due to the beautiful TV undersea specials, and the collected volumes of the Undersea World that we owned. I loved the historical, mythical and science fictional aspects of the books the most, and it stimulated my fascination with inner space. The science fictional aspects of exploring and colonizing inner space (I was fascinated by the Conshelf and other experiments in living underwater) is why I believe that colonizing the oceans will happen long before we colonize space. It makes no sense to put habitats in the eternal desert of space (other than to be the ultimate in gated communities for the elite), when the frontier of the oceans beckons, and is so much closer and more accessible.

I just hope we learn to live in and with the ocean without destroying it, to temper our greed and carelessness. It's a sentiment I learned from Cousteau.

Happy birthday silverstreak ! And may you have many many happy ones in the future!
