[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Members of the USS DECATUR DDG 73 come here often to lurk.
In fact they "know" many of us in here.
So I thought it would be nice to "dock" their ship in the USO Canteen today.
There is a lot of info about the crew, the ship and pics on their site.
Just Click on any Pic to visit their site.

Man Is Like An Automobile

1. As it gets older, the differential starts slipping, and the
U-joints get worn, causing the drive shaft to go bad.

2. The transmission won't go into high gear and sometimes
has difficulty getting out of low. Overdrive is out of the question!

3. It is hard to keep the radiator filled because of the leaking
hose. His frame has a big bow in the middle too. The
thermostat goes out, making it difficult to reach operating
temperature. The headlights grow dim, and the battery needs
constant recharging.

4. But if the body looks good, we can keep it washed and
polished, giving the impression it can compete with newer
models and make one more trip down the primrose lane before
the head gasket blows.

Thank you for sharing this.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Ms feather, I'm way behind, but just got to your poem for your Uncle Fran. What a wonderful man. You were truly blessed. Thank you for sharing him.

[Radix]

Titus was the Son of another Roman General named Vespesian!

Roman Emperors were always Veterans! There is a reason!

In actuality, the Israelites were oppressed by foreign powers for many years. Generations even.

From the days of Nebudchadnezzar, to Cyrus of the Medes and the Persians, and even Alexander the Great! The Seleucids, and others!

Ultimately the Romans put the Israelites under their mighty boot! Even the Romans could not outlast those jews!

Those jews should be interested in history.

It is fascinating stuff!

I am reminded of a metaphor. Moses parted the seas, and those jews walked through it.

It reminds me of another Sea!

Revelation 15:2
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
(Whole Chapter: Revelation 15 In context: Revelation 15:1-3)

Wouldn` it be interesting if the two seas were related somehow.

I was just thinking!

Is the PB still working?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my gosh, Dutchgirl, God seems to have been guiding your hand. Here you are helping to honor our troops today with pictures and in that search you find your Dad serving. What a blessing you have received. And Dutchgirl, thank you to Jack Strange, your father, for his service to our country.

[Soaring Feather]

Is the PB still working?

Haven't the foggiest Radix!!

[MoJo2001]

Indeed my friend. The Jewish/Israelites history of perserverance, stamina, and overcoming atrocities throughout the centuries is one that should be told to every "victimized" lazy ass American who thinks they have issues.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hi Radix,

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thanks, Kathy - and for doing such a great job as Canteen hostess. You left chilly Alaska for a vacation in sunny California...and you spend your time with the troops? Good choice. (((HUGS)))

Thanks for the recipe, TEX. Substitute key lime juice for the pink lemonade and you almost have our addictive Florida fav:
