Twenty Knot Tommy

From Target: Babies in Open, Fire For Effect.
What we refer to as a Sea Story.
This is a funny one. And I have never been to NavSta Charleston. No birdfarms there.

Nice one from Ramirez!
And oh so accurate!

Buck's Voodoo Story

I do believe you all will get a kick out of this one.
It was sort of inspired by yours truly and the picture of the F-101 Voodoo at Century Circle at Edwards AFB Rosamond Gate.
And Buck is a masterful story teller!
Enjoy!

Early "Carmageddon" Traffic Milder Than Anticipated

Officials are bracing for what could be the biggest traffic nightmare for commuters in Los Angeles history.

The fun has begun on the 405!

The link has all kinds of stuff on this event this weekend. The 405 is closed due to the demolition of the Mulholland Bridge in the Sepulveda Pass. This is the main artery from the San Fernando Valley into LA and also access to LAX.

Channel Five has a lot of coverage this morning on the early news. Killing time before heading off to work some overtime..........

Remember, in SoCal, we DRIVE EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!

Every morning! Oh Yes! Ain't she pretty?

I watch KTLA as they do a little better with Antelope Valley/High Desert weather than the rest. The other stations pretty much stop at Lancaster.

Subject: The Best Shut-up Line ever

Got this in an email from a friend of mine.

Subject: The Best Shut-up Line ever

For those who don't know him, Major General Peter Cosgrove is an 'Australian treasure!'

General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently.
Read his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children.
Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love this!
This is one of the best comeback lines of all time.
It is a portion of an ABCradio interview between a female broadcaster and General Cosgrove who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military Headquarters.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
But you're equipping them to become violent killers.

GENERAL COSGROVE:
Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?
The radio castwent silent for 46 seconds and when it returned, the interview was over.
