Makes you wonder if life is random at all....

Re: Your expertise/ experience/ knowledge.
I can send messages, in Morse Code, at 25 words per minute (plain Language).I can read Morse Code at 25 WPM and type the messages, straight onto a typewriter, with two fingers.
Sadly, my skills are no longer required!
Interestingly, for me, when I did my first trip, on a Cunarder (1955), the Chief Radio Man, and his deputy, were getting on a bit, and close to retirement In fact they were already Radio Men at the time the Titanic went down!
That makes me feel old!

Re: Your expertise/ experience/ knowledge.
Wow! A fully-functioning town could be founded with the skills and talent on this forum. What an interesting lot! I know for sure that many of you (Barry and Muddy, to name a few) are understating some exceptional abilities.Truly talentless, I am initially terrible at everything but stubborn (or foolish?) enough to keep at it, determined to keep going until rise above the humiliating level of embarrassing myself - because living is too much fun not to try. My only gifts are curiosity and a work ethic that have served me well enough to surf a little, run some, paint marginally, sew curtains and bedding, teach upper mathematics and science, run a business, pitifully play the piano, operate a telescope, and bake a decent chocolate meringue pie.
(Azure, that is gorgeous photo of you!)

We have seen your paintings and I have tried ( what a laugh) to get up on a surf board so I know how difficult it is -maths has always been a total mystery to me and my cooking gene died when my children left home .
