And, one of your aunts was profoundly grateful when a convoy came along and let her drive between two of the military vehicles. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I remember the time when I was living in San Francisco, and a dozen or so sailors had a party on the floor I lived on.

Remember that bar in Sydney that would've been robbed blind if a biker club hadn't been meeting next door? As I recall one of the poor saps trying to rob the place ended up hog tied.<BR/><BR/>Now a military man would be a little more disciplined in dispatching hoodlums. ^_^Brigidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03796317915330760325noreply@blogger.com
