Bill Monroe's thread about glass floats made me think about bottles with messages inside.
I once lived in an apt. in an old cannery bldg built on piling, out over the water, at the confluence of the Smith and Umpqua Rivers, back in the mid-1970s. For a time, I got into the habit of drinking wine made at a local vineyard...I bought it by the case in half-liter bottles...and would drink one every night. The empty was washed & dried, a brief note (name, address, date, location, lat & long) was inserted, the cork firmly reseated, and, when the tide was running, it was tossed out into the ebb. I figure I produced about 100 bottles w/messages...but have yet to get a response....and now, several moves and cities later, its probably asking too much for the Reedsport postmaster to track me down should anyone respond (probably get a response now from OSP for littering within 100 yds of a stream [img]graemlins/eek13.gif[/img] ).
Some of those bottles may still be bobbing around out there.
Anyone else done this? :whazzup: Results?

Re: Message in a bottle
unless they get hung up on the word "one" and wanted to substitute "several" in its case
