My dearest water nerds:

I am a grumpy, aging SFS member who can't navigate an SFS meeting without The Grid. These newfangled "apps" and "favorite" buttons aren't compatible with my diminished intellect or my iPhone 6s.

This page is my offering to other grumpy old SFS members in hopes it will help restore some lost sanity. I also hope that it helps younger SFS members realize that all we really need when navigating life is a sense of where we want to be and when we want to be there.

If you find this combobulation of space and time useful, I ask only that you make a donation to support the younger and less grumpy SFS members, by clicking the link at the bottom of the page.

Every donation will make me a little less grumpy.

This society is amazing. I love you all.

—Grumpy
