Old-school communication afloat
![]()
Here's a refreshing break for anyone who's sick of spam. There are actually people out there who communicate old-school style -- with paper, a bottle and ocean currents. An 8-year-old Maine girl got the "forwarding" going when she put a message in a bottle last summer and lobbed it into the Atlantic. A Florida couple vacationing in Maine found it, put in their own note and sent the bottle back to the brine. Now a guy in South Carolina has it -- he plans to insert his own note and send the bottle asea. Now, if only spammers were forced to communicate this way, the inbox might be a better place. But you might not want to go back into the water.
