eyep...all week long
Rented a white 2000 Chrysler Intrepid to go to Norfolk and see OpSail 2000. Drove onto Ft. Monroe Base and kept getting directed opposite the tremendous traffic flow to the far parking lots by the MP’s and ended up in the Motor Pool parking lot beside the Fort with at least 60 other white, year 2000 Chrysler Intrepids.
Perfect parking and ended up beside the reviewing stand with all the VIPs.
now that’s opportunity.

NOLA Navy week was a few weeks ago and I went on board the tall ship “Eagle” and the warship “USS Wasp”.
I really enjoyed it and wished I had been able to see more of them but I was limited on time. I got to crawl in and out of a tank, an amphibious, a helicopter and got to play with machine guns and hold a missile!
I've handled thousands...*smiles*
