 Did you or someone you know lose a cheerfully-painted floating dock in the Gulf of Mexico? The Coast Guard wants to know. At 1 p.m. Wednesday (Aug. 2), Coast Guard watchstanders in New Orleans received a report of a floating dock spotted in the Gulf, about 180 miles south of Grand Isle, according to Coast Guard officials. A photo released by the Coast Guard shows a small wooden dock outfitted with plastic barrels and a cabin shed painted light green with lavender trim and featuring a painting of a mermaid and other sea creatures on its side. It has a sign above the door that may or may not say "crab shack." The Coast Guard launched an HC-144 Ocean Sentry airplane crew from Mobile, Ala., to assess the dock and search for signs of distress. The Coast Guard did not indicate whether anyone is believed to be aboard the dock. Watchstanders also issued a broadcast notifying other vessels in the area of the floating dock. Anyone with information on the dock is asked to call the Eighth District Command Center. | ||

That's not a dock. I know people that would consider that a houseboat. And they'd be proud to say that it was their houseboat. _______________________________________ Flammable, Inflammable, or Nonflammable....... Hell, either it Flams or it doesn't!! (George Carlin) | |||

Is the dock still worth the recovery fees and likely government fines? They don't think it be like it is, but it do. | |||

Too clever by half |
A few things that could be, but only the water around the structure could technically be called a dock. "We have a system that increasingly taxes work, and increasingly subsidizes non-work" - Milton Friedman | |||

If it floats like a dock... "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Plowing straight ahead come what may |
I'm in the "that's not a dock...it's a houseboat" crowd...I would like to have that to relax on (not too far out in the gulf though)  ...that is pretty "cheerful" IMHO  ******************************************************** "we've gotta roll with the punches, learn to play all of our hunches Making the best of what ever comes our way Forget that blind ambition and learn to trust your intuition Plowing straight ahead come what may And theres a cowboy in the jungle" Jimmy Buffet | |||

No No it is a floating potty station. Beware the man who only has one gun. He probably knows how to use it! - John Steinbeck | |||

Ah, so it doesn't say "crab shack" but rather "crap shack". Makes sense. | |||
