    This headline will be edited before long. I thought it was interesting that they found a volleyball along with the soccer ball.

    Tides are not the same as wind and currents.

    Working with the State Department & setting up a “process” to return the ball? Is that really the best use of gubmint time? Just FedEx it.

      It is a wonderful waste of time.
