The Greater Tampa Bay Area take XV

[Agent 47]

Nah...I only wish. We had the sub in the water, and it got pretty close. Could have reached out and touched it with a manipulator. I was in the copilot seat at the time, scribbling down times so I could grab a copy of the video later.

I hear a diver was swimming with it a couple of days earlier, but I haven't seen that video yet.

I kind of felt sorry for it, he must have had 50 remoras on him. It was unreal. It was one cool fish, though, that's for sure.

 

[AstroDad]

Nah...I only wish.

Well, Hello fellow Brandonite!

 

[Agent 47]

Hey man.

I guess we're a minority....lost in a sea of Tampons....Tampans....Tamponians?

Something like that.

 

[DiveBandit]

Sup, feather duster?

 

[DiveBandit]

Good to see you back in town. How long you in for

 

[Agent 47]

Almost back in town...I'll be back next week....flying in on the 24th. I'll be home for 3 weeks.

I'm already trying to plan some dives.

 

[DiveBandit]

I'm thinking of maybe taking the boat out the weekend of the 3rd and 4th. Maybe the Sheridan or the tanks.

Well I'm proud to say I am in the minority with you two. Really glad to not be a TAMPON!!!!!!

 

[AstroDad]

Cool. That's three of us. We can start our own society now!

I was born in the area and grew up here. What folks now call Brandon, well, it isn't. I remember when the only thing west of Kings was Tampa Bay. Problem is that I still give directions like it was then. "Sure, get on Oakfield and just past Hook & Holsingers..." or "Just past Scoggins..".... I'm getting old.

Well I'm proud to say I am in the minority with you two. Really glad to not be a TAMPON!!!!!!

Your not that old because I remember Scoggins. I also remember when Lumsden was a 2 lane road with 4 way stops instead of traffic lights. You are not alone my friend.
