12 Miles in Bathtub

On this date back in 1954, Roy Bergo set sail for Alaska in a bathtub.  Not that it was absurd enough that he set sail in a bathtub, he did so in late October.  One almost can assume that Roy was a bit crazy.  But really Roy was just living his dream and since he was unemployed, he had little better to do.  Sadly Roy made it as far as Whidbey Island before the motor on his bathtub gave out.   So tonight a landlocked bathtub.

Oh, the tower climber. Funny, I don't remember the clothes line at all. I do remember the bar that Dominic pushed Kelly into thereby causing our mothers to consider him unstable and dangerous and disallowing us to play with him for at least a month. After that, he must no longer have been dangerous.
