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
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
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

Yoda

"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."
―Yoda, to Luke Skywalker

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

Lesbian couple's first kiss at homecoming a first for Navy, too

From The Pilot on line out of Hampton Roads, VA.
Seems a gator freighter came home from a short deployment to Central America and my Navy had to put on a spectacle.
My Navy has sunk to a new low in this.
The CO and XO of Oak Hill should be relieved along with CO Amphib Base Little Creek, Amphib Forces Atlantic Fleet, CinC Surface Forces Atlantic Fleet and Commander Second Fleet.
This was a stunt, plain pure and simple in the eyes of this Old Retired Petty Officer First Class.
I put a post on Facebook about this...............I am going to catch some flak. It is quite alright. I stand on my principles. My Navy no longer has any.

" her explains how it’s going to work: Snell’s sailor will be among the first off the ship, and when it’s time, Snell will be escorted onto the pier for the kiss."
It was orchestrated and a set piece event. With approval of senior and flag officers of whom I have already mentioned.
