And there was also no oscillating fan in the room.
So obviously we're dealing with a nightmare.
Anyway, after I got up and schlepped myself over to the computer to check my e-mail (I continue to hold out hope that one day I'll have something more exciting than sales announcements from Coldwater Creek and Lumber Liquidators) I saw that the Chief had sent me a message.
He sent the message at 7:10 am which means he had already been at work for an hour or so and probably already had three meetings and produced a thousand of barrels of oil or something.
I had brushed my teeth and poured a TAB.
Anyway, I think from what he sent me it's clear that 1) he loves me and 2) he knows me well!
This video was taken by a ROV (remotely operated vehicle) while exploring the ocean bottom-a fairly commonplace kind of thing in Deepwater production.
Watch this!
It's a sea cucumber! Genus Enypniastes to be exact!
I want one! It can be Weegie's playmate.
Now typically sea cucumbers are like big slugs or gigantor hot dog buns and just kind of roll around on the bottom of the ocean. But this awesome one has developed nifty legs and crawls!
I'll name him Stu! I'll let you know when he gets settled in...
Have a great weekend!

I give up, how did they get the common name cucumber?
I used to call the 6" slugs that would eat my cat's food "Sea Cucumbers." They didn't look like that. Very uh, interesting?
Bev, most of them do actually resemble cucumbers in size and shape. Kind of torpedo-like and many times covered with bumps.
This one is definitely different from most other traditional sea cucumbers- if there IS a traditional sea cucumber...
