We have some beautiful sunsets in Mobile, Alabama.  That's the battleship U.S.S. Alabama.  Have seen that view many times from the Causeway.  Nice photo Swoop.  Did you take it yourself?  If you're in Mobile, maybe we could drink us a brewsky or two or three.

Somehow, I doubt Swoop is in Mobile, or ever will be. :D

Great pic Swoop.

I lived outside of Norfolk NOB as a teenager. Ben Morrell Naval Housing. Dad was on the Forrestal at the time.
Messed with Squids from NOB, NAS and the D&S piers... They'd go into Rays Sub Shop on Hampton Blvd, a locals hangout, talkin crap about us and our long hair..Fun times I was 15 then.
Hell we already lossened the tops of all the salt and pepper shakers.
Stand outside of the Shop and watch them sit down to eat, they'd flip us off and grab the shakers.
At least the Jarheads outta CINCLANT would give us a chase.

Nice photo there Swoop. I am taking my boys down there soon to take a tour of the battleship and the sub they have sitting beside it.

i entitled this little tryptic, "conundrum







there were these old black dudes trying to figure out of they could make it to the cooler with the fish in it.

You'd better keep us all informed about when this will occur. Come to Oklahoma in the spring. I'll buy the beer, you bring a kite.
