I used to think Galveston was a Vietnam War song, but it is about a young man fighting in the Spanish-American war in Cuba and remembering his girlfriend in Galveston. Wondering if he would survive the war and, if he returned, would his girlfriend be waiting for him.

If he survives the war and reunites with his girlfriend in Galveston, let's hope that they quickly bail out of there and relocate someplace else. If they're still living in Galveston two years after the war is over, they will be very, very sorry.

I did not think about that, but you are very right.

Man ain’t that for sure.

Let’s hope they lived happily ever after in... say, San Antonio.

Interesting coincidence: I was recently perusing images of the aftermath of that hurricane...

Definitely a true observation on your part!
