Welcome to The Snorkel
The snorkel is a tool. It allows one to cruise the surface and look for interesting things, and then to dive deeper to get closer to some interesting item. And so this site is about the interesting things in the world, as observed from the surface, and examined more closely during a brief dive. A post might be opinion or fact; often a combination of the two. Sometimes a post will simply be a bit of whimsy, meant to elicit a smile, even a chuckle or a sigh.
