From the Editor The Checker is a little late being completed this month, but I have an excuse: I just got back from a lovely cruise in the Caribbean. It’s been many years since I sailed in those waters, and I was really shocked at the changes there. Apparently there are no more deserted islands in this hemisphere, and I sure do miss them! About the fastest thing we saw all week was a Coast Guard boat (complete with a pirate stopping machine gun). And the only dry land revving we heard were some very loud motorcycles on St. Thomas. But, if you can stand being away from fast cars and loud noises, I heartily recommend a few days in the islands. There won’t be any more trips for this half of the Watkins household for a while, so The Checker will be finished alot closer to the deadline in the next few months. Talk to you then!
