I thought it was a high altitude view of a coastline and couldn't figure out what was in front of the boat.

Ha, I didn't see that til you mentioned it. It reminded me of the machines from the Matrix.

I've known people that suffer hard to imagine pain everyday and soldier along to the best of their ability.

One of my friends here who passed away (@wolfhart) battled pain for years until cancer finally took him. Not once did I ever hear him really complain about the pain, his lot in life, his exposure to chemicals while serving and was always polite and friendly, despite his own conditions. People like him are rare.

She'll be fine soon enough - she seems to get these fevers often though -it is a bit of a worry.
