It has been a long summer. Captured purple in a few images though to remind of the season ahead.

Hey!! I think I have been on that cruise ship. Is that RC's Majesty of the Seas?

Good guess, but it was actually the Diamond Princess. It had been built at the Mitsubishi Shipyards in Nagasaki and as a matter of local pride when we left the port there a Nagasaki high school band and drill team showed up to send us off. (Ironically the original of the replica of the bomb there at the Atom Bomb Museum pictured with a purple core in my original post was actually targeted to, among other things, demolish those shipyards.)

Here are some added shots from Nagasaki including the view of our ship from where we had lunch, a melted roof tile exhibited there in the museum, a Taiko Drum send off at the Otaru, Hokkaido port, the Fish Market in Pusan, Korea, a scene on the Russian island of Sakhalin, and the Daibutsu Buddha at Kamakura near Yokohama.

Getting back to Purple Sightings as we await the soon to be posted practice reports and beginning of actual play, tonight's sky at 10:00 PM here in Alaska provided some purple:

You will just have continue with the fantasy photos because Fitz has ordered that there will be no practice reports. For instance, today's Chicago papers have articles about the illini and zero on the Wildcats.

If I were retired, I'd hopped on that 'around the world' cruise at about $38,000 including all the drink, food, excursions, tips, for free for 128 days. 62 ports later, I would have hit 38 countries and seen every continent.
