Oops!
Images have emerged of a superyacht sinking off the coast of Mykonos, Greece. While the size is yet to be confirmed, reports suggest she is approximately 30m, with speculation that she is Navetta’s 33m Custom Line Aloha.
Information suggests the sinking began at around 5am on 20 August, after running aground on a reef. The incident reportedly occurred when the yacht collided with a reef between the popular Greek seaside destinations Platis Gialos and Psarrou and that she was almost entirely submerged by sunrise.

The CigarMonster app continues to be a piece of shit. After the latest update, with push notifications all turned off, it jumps to the front of the screen every time the deal changes. No way to stop it. Uninstalled again. Somebody needs to teach cigar vendors about apps.

No kidding. I'm on my second double whiskey, in half an hour, so I'm liquored up good. And nowhere near finished. Have to meet with a friend tonight to give him an opportunity to talk me out of suing him (incidentally). Planning to serve martinis. Big ones.
