Happy Hour
"IF A LIFETIME CAN BE LIKENED TO A DAY, THEN THIS IS HAPPY HOUR!"
BUCK PENNINGTON
Mother, Mother Ocean
Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."

Counted the Stars
Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

This was done by our good friend, Lex.
Figured it needs to get out there.
That is all.

Last Lap for Enterprise CVAN/CVN-65
This is at the USNI site. Think I should have it on the lower left...............It had really good stuff about Lex on it as well.
The Big"E" is going on her last ride. I was seven when she entered the Fleet in the Autumn of 1961. I am older than her CO and XO.
The Bainbridge and Long Beach have been long gone now and Enterprise is finally going to be consigned to the dustbin of history.
I worked for an Air Bos'n on Independence in 74-75 who was in V-2 Division on Enterprise on this cruise.
I need to quit dating myself, ya know.

ADOPT A TERRORIST
Got this from Sean..............it is a good one!
A Canadian female libertarian wrote a lot of letters to the Canadian government, complaining about the treatment of captive insurgents (terrorists) being held in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities. She demanded a response to her letter correspondence.
She received back the following reply:
The rest is at the link. I do think you will find it amusing and terrifying both.

DEVASTATING: Andrew Breitbart, R.I.P.
http://michellemalkin.com/2012/03/01/devastating-andrew-breitbart-r-i-p/
That link is to Michelle Malkin. She has an excellent post up on Andrew Breitbart.
I read his blogs. He was that individual that the left hated to a level I sometimes had trouble accepting. Andrew took it in stride. He was that cool when attacked with such vitriol. I admired him. He is going to missed.....a lot. Straight Shooter if there ever was one.
April at The Hyacinth Girl has a short but amazing post about his passing. Here it is:

I am just a little guy in this thing that is such an integral part of our lives..........joining us to friends and professional acquaintances. Then this happens.
