At Sea World, it rained after we saw all the shows and were fixing to get on the rides (therefore rode no rides, as it rained for 2 hours before we gave up and went back to the KOA). Hubby had to hook up the camper in the rain both in SA and at the beach. Never seen so much rain! LOL! But it did stop long enough to play in the waves (rough as they were) and get a burn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-7705776288407304742007-07-31T10:50:00.000-06:002007-07-31T10:50:00.000-06:00Lou sez: Lots of links today!That's because of th...Lou sez: <I>Lots of links today!</I><BR/><BR/>That's because of the major suckage of Sunday nite TeeVee, which immediately called to mind the ol' cliché about "85 channels and nothing on..." It was SO bad I turned the damned thing off and amused myself on the 'net, which ain't all that hard to do. Most of yesterday's post was created Sunday night.<BR/><BR/>Lou, II: <I>I remember when emailing was a new thing.</I><BR/><BR/>I, too, remember when e-mail was new. My very first e-mail account was mainframe based (you had to open a "terminal session" on your PC to access the mainframe and your mail) and folks who actually HAD e-mail were few and far between back around '85 or '86...usually managers. I know I had to go through several levels of approval to get my e-mail account...it was a mini-status symbol. That was in industry; I never had e-mail while in the USAF. It didn't exist.<BR/><BR/>Mike and Jenny: Yeah, I was impressed when Buck sent that link, too.<BR/><BR/>Jenny: Never been on the Lex...and although I've been BY Corpus Christi on my way to and from Brownsville, I've never actually taken the off-ramp. Gotta put the Lex on my "to-do" list! <BR/><BR/>Did all that Texas rain dampen your vacation, Jenny? I'm tending to think not, since you indicated you had a bad sunburn...Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-27892363372249873682007-07-30T20:45:00.000-06:002007-07-30T20:45:00.000-06:00Jennye, I hav always wanted to tour the Lexington!...Jennye, I hav always wanted to tour the Lexington!Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-66639050455150442882007-07-30T16:17:00.000-06:002007-07-30T16:17:00.000-06:00That's pretty cool about your son in the paper!!We...That's pretty cool about your son in the paper!!<BR/><BR/>We just got back from vacation yesterday. We went to San Antonio and Corpus Christi. While in CC, we went to the USS Lexington air craft carrier that is there for you to tour. Have you been there in all your travels? We thought it was pretty darn cool. I didn't get to see as much as I had wanted to (so many of those steep stairways! Not easy when carrying a 20 month old and having a horrible sunburn that he was clutching his fingernails into), but did check out the hanger deck, flight deck and the bridge. Was very neat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-52387966934458822152007-07-30T13:52:00.000-06:002007-07-30T13:52:00.000-06:00Cool to see SN1 making the news.

The USAF has definitely been ahead of the rest of DoD when it comes to integrating the Reserve and Guard forces with the Active force. It's to the point where there are Guardsmen "embedded" at Langley flying the F-22 with the 27th FS.<BR/><BR/>Cool website about the police cars...that picture of the drug dealer Mustang reminded me of one the local Sheriff's Dept here got. A Chevy Silverado 2500 with a leather interior and flat screen TV and DVD player in the back. They use it to haul their dive boat.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122811314990661743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-75822745682501338622007-07-30T10:44:00.000-06:002007-07-30T10:44:00.000-06:00Lots of links today!

I thought it was amazing and the best thing. Although I miss getting personal letters in the mail, getting emails or comments is just pretty good too. Amazing how far we have come. This morning I chatted with Toby in KZ and added Bo to the conversation - and chatting is really "old hat" now.Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.com
