Had fun in the Persian Gulf dodging mines station keeping in convoy behind the SS Bridgeton supertanker(100,000 ton supertankers can absorb mine hits much easier than 3500 ton frigates)

Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong...
Has to suck to break up like that right before Valentine's Day...
I think that's why I'm swearing off relationships for a while. The whole getting together thing rocks, and I still believe in love...more than ever, believe it or not...
I just wonder if there's any such thing as a forever in a relationship anymore...
I can't find an appropriate smiley for this one...
i'm sure when crystal finds this thread there will be a smilie for it. as for Crow, being on the market....hey she found Lance in Austin....I'm in Austin......hmmmmmm. he rode a bicycle......i've seen a bicycle. she's into music....i'm into music. she likes girls.....i like girls......maybe i've got a shot?  _________________ All work and no play make Homer something something

Quote: Here is a link for you guys and gals who never been there-done that: http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/icerun/reporter/Enjoy your trip! In the fall we ran out of Portsmouth England into the North Atlantic Then to be Blue Noses into the circle... We had 10-20 foot seas for all day and a cold wind that penetrated any foul weather gear made. Any deck hatch that was open frosted everything in that space in minutes. Thats when I found out I was a Carribean sailor thru and thru...
