Welcome, Andrea

This post welcomes Andrea, an operative who made the transition from dry-land work to FULLY AQUATIC, this last fall. We, and indeed SHE, felt more comfortable waiting to post the welcome until we knew whether the shaved-monkey medico-legal authorities were going to release the information that she DROWNED IN BED. This is a standard method of making the change for US, but damned unusual for shaved monkeys in general.

Now I think of it, the last really large group of bed drowners in shaved-monkey history was the one hundred million "victims" of the 1918 flu epidemic. WHAT A RECRUITING FESTIVAL THAT WAS.

The RED HERRING Andrea left behind just before joining us in the Detroit River -- splashing the entire condo she lived in with blood, not hers -- still has them scratching their pointed little heads.

Andrea's name will be changed, and her job duties assigned, as soon as her physical transformation becomes final.
