(I'd rather have been on Kauai but budget and self-employment prevented that from happening.) We spotted something bright among the mountains of seaweed -- this was only two months after Katrina and the beach was littered with flotsam. Turns out one of the oil platforms off the coast lost one of their life rings -- we looked it up by the ID printed on the side of the ring. It's currently hanging on the fence in the backyard next to my koi pond. Soon it'll be at Tiki Acres hanging near my tiki bar.
