I just switched from pro life to pro choice because I am a liberal who likes watching babies die and from pro gun to anti gun because I don't give a crap about my property or the safety of my family. I've always supported amnesty for illegal aliens. Because I profit off helping them steal identities..

I'm pretty sure I had food poisoning more than anything else. I didn't drink enough beer to get sick. Although there is a certain odd taste to the local brew. Formaldehyde would explain it. In any case, I ate a good deal of shrimp fried rice that I bought from the beer stand, and I'm pretty sure it had been there all day. It was good. The people here are obnoxious, but they can cook at least. I understand it's nicer away from the coast than it is where I am. Except for the drug-runners, I guess. I wasn't allowed to participate in the latest revolution anyway.
I had duty yesterday. Monsoon season is in full swing here, and there were some good-sized waves in the early morning (considering that we're anchored in a fairly well-protected bay.) The mooring lines on the sewage barge broke and it almost sank, but got back to the pier safely enough. It came back around midnight tonight. Then three of four lines on the landing barge snapped, and we all went out and put our mooring lines onto it. Bosn went out on the landing barge, waves and all. I guess he's immune to falling overboard, being as he's been in the Coast Guard for a billion years. Then one of our own lines broke (this is a pain, since they cost $7000 each. Also, there's nowhere to get any more, so now we're short one line.) The locals came back and gave us more lines. I almost fell overboard a few times, but didn't quite.
Then I went to bed and got up at 3 in the morning for watch. The ACs went out. Apparently this was because one of the strainers that clean the seawater that the ACs run off of got full of jellyfish. Today I have to do laundry, plus I may go back to bed. I saw a thing Elen would like at the souvenir stand on the pier, so I may go up and get it.
Frank in the stroller, somewhere. Maybe at the swim meet.
Slender and elusive Bill. Please to admire his biceps.

And finally, a dog.
Whenever you decide for sure when and where you’re going on vacation, you ought to send me the dates and address of the place. I plan to put in a chit for leave late next month.
FReepmailing.
Let me know if you got that - Jake jumped on the keyboard just as I hit “send.”
Yep.
I’m gonna take ten days again..thinking I can fly in on the red-eye again on the 3rd and arrive the morning of the 4th before the trip gets underway? As I recall, the plane arrived around 6, so unlesss we plan to leave incredibly early there shouldn’t be an issue.
Then I’ll leave the 14th, which gives me a couple days to..see the cats. Not that they’ll remember who I am or care, but it’s the thought that counts.
Actually, that might be an issue if I have duty and can’t get that evening off. So maybe the 3rd-13th. Then I can still fly in early on the 4th, but won’t have to worry about duty since I’d be officially on leave.
We can work it out somehow. For example, we could park the purple car in the lot at the airport, along with a Mapquest from the airport to the rental house, and you could drive along at your leisure.
That seems like a lot of trouble. But if I arrive early enough it shouldn’t be an issue. Unless, like I said, you plan on leaving really early in the morning.
If it's like the other places we've rented, leaving early wouldn't do any good, because the house isn't available until late afternoon. We have a 3- to 4-hour drive, even with lots of stops and getting lost.
Exactly. So flying in the morning shouldn’t be an issue.
We’ll make it work. If you’re coming with us, we want to take the purple car down, anyway, so you can drive about.
I need to change Frank and leave for church. Have a good evening and stop drinking that toxic beer!
Email your grandmother, if you can!
Ack! Hairy armpits!
