No Place Special

FYI- yesterday Myself and some friends put on our SCUBA gear and took the 1028 Carlson to the bottom of a quarry and carved it with the hopes of breaking the Guinness record for the Largest Pumpkin Ever Carved underwater. With a high temp of 42* yesterday it was a perfect day for a swim! I will post pics soon. You can read our local papers article online. I can be found on this site under "In The News". More articles should surface in the days to come.

Next record would be to carve a pumpkin in the air... during free fall. In the same time the world record for the fastest ever pumpkin would be set and accidentally it would be possible to break the record for the biggest ever splash.

This has been really amazing. I have been live on many radio stations across the US and as of 2 hrs ago one in Canada! Fox TV is making an offer for the underwater footage and plan to put it on a new "Clip Show" that will start in December. That would be really cool.
