every morning i see the ocean and every morning one thing i notice about the ocean is that it is really really big.
big big big.
while i understand all this secret floating about underwater blindly so as to maintain the fun and excitement of being secret, and, even as i think it's ridiculous, understand the carrying nukes around as you do that ("we have em, so we might as well sail them around") what i really don't get is how these two submarines could possibly have clunked into each other given how very very big the ocean is.
i know other folk have noted this bigness factor with reference to the ocean, but i just looked at it again on the way out of essex this morning and so have a new and improved sense of the bigness of the ocean.
it is really fucking big.
