Adventure
The other day Laurel and I were in Paducah, Ky. We were there for dinner and a show. While in town we sometimes go down to the waterfront to view the river and the murals along the flood wall.
While there we saw a very small black brown sailing ship. We investigated and found out that we were looking at the "Nina". (A copy to scale of one of Columbus' ships.) We paid our dues and boarded the ship. We immediately realized, the wonder of the Adventurers of the 1700 hundreds. The ship was tiny, you could load it twice on the back of a semitrailer truck. I wonder at Columbus crossing the ocean knowing that he and his crew would fall over the water falls (at the edge) on the western sunset. The ship had space enough for one sleeping cabin, the other eighty men would have to sleep on deck. Everything below deck was rigging and food.
Can you imagine me saying that I am going to ride a rocket into space. I'll be back in five years when I find a decent place to live. Everyone says that I am going over the edge, falling into the black hole of space. Some things never change. I want my sons and daughters to go into space and explore the Universe. You are a creature of skill. Go on an Adventure.
