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

Sad. Good Ships. Dying.

The Breakers Yard
Brownsville Texas
Already in the process are Forrestal and Saratoga.
The Constellation arrived a couple of weeks ago. She still has her island, for now.
The three Good Ships I made cruises in are scheduled for this as well.
Those who have gone down to the sea in ships will not really understand. It causes us to shed a tear or two.
Either Saratoga or Forrestal
Saratoga or Forrestal

Man this is sad.

Forrestal and Saratoga were both tied up at the pier in Newport when I arrived in Little Rhody for to begin my civilian career.

Now that pier is empty.

Damn. Just damn.

I hope to get to Bremerton to see the three I made my deployments on or to Brownsville when one of them arrives...............It may not go well.
Missus ORPO understands, somewhat.
