My Mom and Dad didn't call me "BumpsKopf" for nothing. :-)

Great presentation today. Thanks
Many years ago, as a lad of 12, I had a paper route. Through subsciption sales, I won a trip to Seattle. The trip included a ferry ride to Bremerton and a tour of the USS MISSOURI (BB-63). I remember standing at the spot where the bronze plaque is installed on the deck. Awesome, memorable experience for me at that young age.
As events unfold a few years later, my ship was one of those present in Tokyo Bay for the surrender.
Thanks again for the presentation.

Wow! Great pictures! Thanks for sharing them with us. They were so much more personal than the news photos.
I would truly love to go, but this is probably the closest I'll ever get. I would need to be sedated for a flight that long--nerves of Jello. Plus, now they're talking about weighing passengers. Yipes! I can't imagine any lady hobbit ever submitting to that. As I tell Samwise Jr., a lady is never obligated to reveal her true age or weight.

Morning DD.
It sure is an awesome feeling standing on the spot the Surrender was signed and reading the plaque.
Snippy and CJ did a good job on the thread today. I wish I had the pictures I took of the MISSOURI in Astoria handy. :-(

It's going to be slow as is for our dial-up folks. It's pretty frustrating when the text you are trying to read keeps jumping up the screen on you. I am lobbying Hubby for DSL. Hobbit lass is beginning to join the discussion. I don't know whether to get an ethernet card or use the modem they'll supply. I also don't know whether or not to set up a wiles network so the hobbit lass can hook up her PC, too. Nor do I know how complicated this will be to set up. Any tips anyone has will be welcome. The SBC rep just says, "We'll send you a kit."

I'll bet the DAV would have hated to send him address labels. Reminds me of the Dick Van Dyke episode where they named Richie "ROSEBUD."

Morning Samwise. I did the flight from Alaska to Hawaii to Vietnam and then from California to Japan to Vietnam plus the return flights. Flying over water for that long gets really, really old. Not much to see and you can only read and play cards for so long.
As I tell Samwise Jr., a lady is never obligated to reveal her true age or weight.
That's what my mom always told the kids too.

I have 3 computers networked. Nothing fancy, the hardest part was running the cable, I didn't want to go wireless.
I took the modem they supplied, I figured if anything goes wrong they supply a new one.

the hardest part was running the cable I'll try just about anything software related, but wires and cables and such. Eeeks! Manswork scares me.

"We'll send you a kit."Don't ya love it. Grrrr. I'm having parts and a kit sent to me so my laptop can "go wireless anywhere in the world". Oh boy, I can't wait to try and put it together and then make it work. LOL.
