Water

To all my friends and adversaries past and present I wish a very Merry Remembrance of Him that walked on water and calmed the angry waves and soothed the fears of those at sea.

 

Neptune?

 

It would appear that He no longer holds that portfolio.


Typhoon Haiyan



Hurricane Sandy



Fukushima tsunami

 

That's the Zeeland Bridge in the signature, the rest I don't believe in, except for Hoyt's friendship

Best wishes to everyone . . ​

Cheers,
Angel

 

merry Christmas to you too Hoyt.

 

Merry Christmas!

 

Neptune had a car and an excellent navigator for that . . . :idea:

Guess the painter* was not there, it must have looked more like this . . . .

Hoyt has such a big and tender heart that can accommodate friends and adversaries at the same time.

Merry Christmas Hoyt.

 

Poseidon!

 

You do have a point to consider RX, especially since his brother has been downgraded to just a planetoid. This has to affect the family tree to some degree. Then again you just might as well accept I'm Italian and we changed his name a long time ago, mostly because we've always thought that traveling about the seas in a chariot a bit silly, though admittedly Amphitrite did have a nice ***.

 

PAR, on second thought (and the help of Wiki) I think yours is more appropriate. Poseidon is a Greek mythology while Neptune (a counterpart of Greek God Poseidon) is a Roman God mythology. Hoyt post slants on the Roman Catholic religion, Jesus (who walked on water, calmed the seas, and changed water into wine) being the central figure.

 

I've never changed water into wine, but I have calmed the seas (okay I intentionally spilled some oil) and I've walked on water, more then once too, so there's an understandable confusion here . . .

 

Your basement floods often?

Merry Christmas PAR.

 

We don't have basements in Florida (no kidding). If you dig a hole anywhere in Florida, you'll run into the water table about 12" down, so basements just don't work here, besides, have you ever tried to excavate sand out of a hole? Add 4' of water in a 6' hole and try to excavate it . . . it's like trying to kill mosquitoes with a pistol.

Merry Christmas RX.
