We are living in dangerous, chaotic times for sure.
@lukeepplin.bsky.social I had a Snoopy question for you; do you think Disney has ever contemplated buying Peanuts?! They own Marvel, Star Wars, the Muppets, etc.
Where’s an Eisenhower when you need him, we need rational leadership again.
I read it for the first time when I was at sea in the Navy, big fan of Melville’s verse and Billy Budd too; visited his grave in the Bronx several years back.
My favorite book, huge Melville fan; is this your first time reading it?
I hope to see that one day too, Moby Dick is my favorite book, big fan of Billy Budd and his verse as well( and his other works). I collect Moby Dick and Billy Budd editions; I visited his grave in the Bronx back in 2019.
I hope to attend one day, as well as the one in New Bedford and Sag Harbor.
I recently finished this one, a retelling of Moby Dick with a twist.
Billy Budd is a great favorite.
Big fan of Moby Dick, Melville is a fascinating study.

Like Reep in his coracle!
A memorable voyage for me was steaming up the Columbia to Portland on a DDG!
One of my all time favorites!
@pacificguide.bsky.social I saw this picture yesterday, learned that the object on the bow is a kusudama, I wonder if every ship got one and are any preserved in a museum?
That would make for a fascinating book to have art/photographs from all 18 fleet reviews!
@ww2historygal.bsky.social Got my new watch today!
I love Melville. I recently read ‘White Jacket’ for the first time. I’m planning to re-read ‘Moby Dick’ at some point this year.
It was, I have never seen one here in Georgia; saw my first butterfly of the year in my yard Saturday, spring is here!
That brings up a funny story; my daughter and I were at historic Jamestown some years back where I came across a flock of them and I was so excited I lost interest in the history and wanted to see the woodpeckers!
Thanks! Just got these two yesterday, got a new Timex Flying Ace watch on its way!
The Aurelian by Vladimir Nabokov
