Last dog watch, 8 bells (8:22 pm)
In the immortal word of Bender—we're boned. I got home today and my snowshovel was broken, the head swivels 360° around the handle. This does not allow me to shovel any snow whatsoever. When I shoveled on Monday morning, it was fine. I don't know what happened. I guess I shouldn't have left it on my porch.
Anyway, it's quite impossible to find one anywhere around here because of all the heavy snowfall we've had this month. So the coming storm will just swallow up our driveway and cars.
First dog watch, 3 bells (5:49 pm)
Today in 1938 a coelacanth was found in South Africa. The coelacanth was thought to be extinct for seventy million years. That was seventy years ago, hence the title "Seventy million and seventy."
