It would only equate to about two of Wonky's stories
...Oh, that's right, TVG, Nearly forgot: 'Bout time I come out and whip your ugly ass again.
And chuck, I heard a lady scientist (why did I have to say Lady?) on a podcast talking about "rogue waves" and saying they are becoming more frequent. They don't know why but suspect it may have to do with water temps rising. She said several commercial ships have floundered by these waves and someday we can bet a cruise ship will get knocked over by one.
HEY! SURFS UP!
I've been to river side park and the only time I ever saw a rogue wave, is when the jet boats went by.
