About a year ago I was aboard the USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor — a magnificent vessel — completely overwhelmed by the sheer scale and might of this battlewagon.

How big would she be in comparison to, say, the lead carrier? (Our navy only has a couple frigates, about the size of a decent fishing boat).

Good evening, DocRock...your nephew’s first name? Is he still in the sandbox? I’d love to add him to the Parade of Heroes.

Did someone say ROOT BEER???

Along with the White Spot hamburger I mentioned earlier in the week, Root Beer is something I have been dreaming about for fourteen years. Ice-Cold A&W Rootbeer, served in a Papa-sized glass mug. Either with an A&W Papaburger or optionally with a White Spot hamburger purchased next door...

...both small pleasures unattainable in New Zealand.

Crikey!
