Friday 5 - Oceans

Since I live near an ocean, this seemed like a good Friday 5 for me!  Even if you don't live near an ocean, maybe it is a good Friday 5 for you too...give it a shot :-)

1. When were you last in ocean waters?   I haven't been to the beach once this summer :-(  So I guess it has been a little over a year since I was last in ocean waters.  That would be the Pacific, y'all.


2. When did you last fly over ocean waters?   I have never travelled abroad, so I would say never...however, when you fly out of LAX going any direction, you take off over the ocean and either continue on, if you are interesting, or turn around, if you are me, just hopping to Phoenix...and it has been a good 20 years since I've even done that.  *sigh*

3. What ocean sports activity seems like the most fun?   I've been sailing, but I get sea sick and a little claustrophobic (that is probably the wrong word) or something when all I see is water.  Water skiing is fun, but that is really a lake activity, right?  I have never surfed, but that looks fun, if you aren't afraid of falling off your board and being hit in the head with it, losing consciousness, drowning and washing away in the undertow.  Okay, I admit I like the ocean best from the shore, just wading in a bit :-)  So, I am nominating the sport of Wading.

4. What are your thoughts or feelings about public aquariums?   I like aquariums.  It is a chance to see creatures up close that we'd never see otherwise.  I guess in good conscience I prefer they not have the higher mammals working for them in shows, but the fishy displays are very beautiful and interesting.

5. What are your thoughts or feelings about sushi?  Personally, not a fan of sushi.  But I have no objection to others eating it.  I mean, people who do like it seem to REALLY like it.

I hope you all have a cool, refreshing, and powerfully relaxing weekend.  Life's a beach.
