A Ship Called Ken

That's right, they have apparently named a ship after me. I am currently loading potash on the Ken at Neptune dock. It is registered in Majuro, the capital of the Marshall Islands. This flag-of-convenience dodge allows the owners to pay no taxes and to not have to abide by the maritime standards and labor laws of any civilized country. Majuro was a new one on me; I had to look it up. It used to be such a hassle to do that, but Google gave me a Wikipedia article about the place instantly. Just 3 years ago I used to wonder why people found computers so addictive!
