Not sure where to post this. I'm in the outer banks, sleeping on the beach, and there is a beautiful, high pitched ringing sound, like a finger going round a wine glass, coming from the ocean. It's pretty windy. Has anyone ever heard this or know what it is/ is causing it?

I used to be on here a lot, just remembered it and figured i'd post to say I'm still kicking. Not getting the miles I used to but not dead yet and been getting that fleet fever lately. Hi to everybody.

You will be sad to know that Charlie died of a heart attack. To anyone who ever visited him out in the slabs, it would be immediately apparent that Charlie was an original, hard worker and highly intelligent. I also came to regard him as highly sensitive, in the best sense of the word. He will...

Matt you said, " im not posting "retalitory muck". im simply posting what happened and the truth. give me another hour or so and ill have it up. " but now that thread is closed. Others have stated that they are not interested in your version, but I would like to know how you see things, so...

My friend (your friend?) Danielle is playing her songs real soon at a bar near you (if you live in Oregon that is). She is awesome and you should check her out. I will be the squirrely looking critter in the corner, don't be a stranger. More dates posted soon, somewhere around Portland 20-25th...

about two weeks ago after a year-long battle with cancer. He was 35 and died in Phoenix with his famiy, in good spirits up until the very end, despite heavy pain and medication. Anyone who ever met him at one of his New YEar's Slab CIty gatherings or anywhere else knows what a solid person and...

Some of you are familiar with the site Digihitch.com, and may know that the founder is a traveller and all-around great guy named Morgan (Salman). Morgan was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer last July and since then, he's incurred some pretty serious medical bills. Anyone in the Phoenix area...

this is kind of a poll, I looked for a poll making function but didn`t see it. I just had a really terrible nights sleep in some bushes in Cusco, Peru. I got into town really late and people told me I`d get jumped and to stay off the streets. Nothing happened, but I couldn`t really sleep...

wondering who the original version was by and what year it was written, I checked out wikipedia, and discovered the harsh reality. check this out: The 2008 extended adaptation for children by Gil McLachlan tells the story as a child's dream, the last stanza being: In the Big Rock Candy...

Part 1 Whisper had signed on with the United States military, or maybe he’d been drafted by selective services, I can’t remember. An apt candidate, he’d been trained extensively and sent to Vietnam as a Ranger, position of exciting albeit horrifying consequence. He weathered missions and...

I'm trying to live a more organized life these days, but I'm living in a shack on the roof of a hostel and there's always people around, also I work in exchange for the space and the owners like to drink and disapear unexpectedly (it's actually pretty expected at this point) with the girls that...

drunkish post, I don't feel like I get very drunk, just more somber the more I drink, except gin which makes me more violent or too much of anything which makes me stick my finger down my throat so I can get on with the next day. Anyway, there was a girl here tonight who was some sort of...

Been in Buenos Aires a couple days now and it is good. I want to live here awhile and have been looking at abandoned buildings downtown, havent put any locks on doors yet, but it seems like i should be able to open something up. Anyway, if you are bored and like 15 million+ cities like i do...

Im first mate on the good ship Samsara, floating in a postcard off the Caribean coast of Panama. The Kuna Indians paddle their dugouts close and show off lobsters, coconuts and embroidered clothes to the bikini clad Swiss girls and hungover Brits, whom it is my job to entertain when the caprain...

holy cow, staying a couple days in a hostel can make you jaded. Listening to all these sandal-wearing folks talk about how much money they've spent on their world tours is weird, and makes me feel very elitist. Maybe its that two of my ex girlfriends/best friends got laid for the first time...
