As much as I appreciate the posting of the pictures, because of the name of the ship, I can't help but be reminded of our disgusting excuse for a Senator.

Will do.
And Thank You.
Kiddies are up and running.
So, feeling like a one legged man in a

I'll be standing by for more pics in between diapers, hotdogs, and sippy cups.
