oh drew got the slack job a few years back, he left the AT field (fixing f18 radars) and going out to sea for a different job that doesn't have sea duty. i always tell people thank you when they say that. but when his most "adventurous" work is 3 weeks in germany for digital war games and i have friends over in the sandbox i remember how lucky i am. this week drew is in Rhode Island as the only enlisted person in a war college set of war games w/ a bunch of officers as hes the subject specialist. on the flip side my old roomate and dear friend is in yuma preparing w/ her bomb dog to go to Afghanistan. so yup drew is navy. but there are people in way more intense fields. im not by any means down playing what drew does, or the importance of it. but i also know that i sat last night crying while looking at a pic of a soldier returning home from the back of a plane, with a flag over him, and an honor guard at attention honoring him. those are the guys i thank. but thank you.

those things scare me.
Well, that isn't too bad. I think we could do that in about 1470 posts. That could take as little as 980 hours with only 1 person working at it. And that is almost 41 days. I bet we can do that in much less time with more participation, which we will get, I'm sure!
Great avatar, Autumn!lol well of course it did. it was an ammo ship

Because it is parallel to the water. Flat, in other words. Now, I know that the Ambassador Bridge isn't one of your favorites.
