Gotta go! I love aviation and military stuff. Hey John, if you are too, check out the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola (my wife's hometown) lots of neat planes and the home of the Blue Angels.
~Keep on keepin' on!~

If you see a bald guy on Oxygen smoking a cigarette, that'd be my father-in-law. Tell him I said Hi!

Wow, that flat was impressive! Total shred job! What happened to the tire, when I last saw them, they looked brand new. Hey, you made it there. That is where several hurricanes hit, and hit hard. Is there any evidence of that there?
Glad you made it that far. Once out of Floriduh, the roads get a little easier to drive.
You should see what moved into my old table right in front of Jay. A real dog and pony show complete with fuddy duddy playing an organ. You escaped in the nick of time! It is geezer time!
this guy actually plays Muzac for eight straight hours at a fairly high volume. I guess I will have to get some Sabbath, ELP, YES, and Iron Maiden. My system is only on three, I have 47 more levels to use. This should be interesting. We had a toothless WICAN selling doilies to born again Christians Sunday. She put her dentures on the table next to her work and tried to sell to tourists. she had bright purple hair, and dressed like Cindy Lauper! People would actually walk around the table and bypass the other vendors. She would yell at everyone who did not buy her stuff, which meant yelling all day!
Yup, we got the big time going on there.
Something big changed all of a sudden. Our lease is up for renewal this week, and we might sign if the geezer goes to the booth of death on the corner.
It will be like Barry Manilow on Novacaine and Quaaludes doing Muzac.
That tire bites, I hope that is it for the trip. Glad no real damage to the Draggin Waggon.
Good luck.

You serious about the ship being a hotel or just makin' jokes? I don't think I'd want to stay there if it was. Glad you're still moving along there and taking things easy.

Floriduh does leave its stinger! Glad you made it. Alabama is a different world indeed. You will see lots of nature going through Alabama. Ahead of you is a very long bridge over a very large swamp. I never get tired sightseeing going over it.
Get some rest and good luck indeed.

You know, they call Alabama the crimson tide! Come on John, sing along!
That bridge near Mobile Doc? Yeah, some pretty areas around there, I have some great photos of an Alabama misty morning on my way out of FL.

Cool pics! Love those military museums. When I first saw the F4, I thought it was taking off, I need to clean my glasses and go to bed!
