    Thanks, Tradd. I wouldn't know the difference - lol. Don't they both carry stuff? Or is it a difference in "what" they carry? (Seriously asking as I really don't know!)

    And thanks. It was very relaxing and I have time to get some things done before my first day on Monday.

    Barges are for river or close in coastal traffic. They’re pulled by a tug usually. Not meant for open ocean.

    Don't know if these are clear enough, but what the heck. IMG_20210712_131627377.jpg IMG_20210712_131631728.jpg

    There was a long line of them. The pic with the fisherman shows more, but it was an overcast day.

    Thanks for the photos. A friend lives in the LA area and scuba dives a lot from boats. She says she always sees the container ships. Sent me a few photos recently.

    First day at the new job. Initial summer hours are 6 to 4:30 M-TH, with F, S, and Su off. Once school starts up, I will be on 2nd shift again. Anyway, it was a good day, nice people and I was busy the whole time. I'm really tired, though. It will be an early bedtime for me.

    Good to have a schedule with time off planned so that you can plan outside work. Thanks for letting us know. You don't have a long commute with this job, do you?
