You are right, USAFE5.
But getting rid of a bunch of liberals AND traffic jams is probably more than I deserve. So, I'll just settle for getting rid of the liberals.

I moved from the inland empire to the far LA suburb of Las Vegas about 10 years ago. I miss Fog of all things. My brother (also a vet- with 3 sons all active USAF) drives from Riverside to Redondo Beach daily for work. 91 is his curse. The City of Riverside is redeveloping his part of town - near UCR, and will eventually buy him out, even then he won't be able to afford anything closer to work.

I'll be eligible to retire from the union shortly after the first of the year. I probably won't hang it up just yet, but when I do it will be because of the traffic. When that happens I can spend all day on the computer fighting liberals. It's great to have a mission.

OH! Another denizen of Baker Docks! I did mess cooking and
compartment cleaning in Bldg 150 right out of boot camp, then
moved over to the USS Joyce (DER 317) for the winter of '59-'60
doing barrier patrols off of Alaska. We really learned damage
control on those pickets.

Snipe, you gave my old memories a mite nudge, too. Was on a sister ship,(Hissem DER 400) same time frame, (Nov. 58 to Dec, 59, cept on the other coast doing Barrier cruises between Argentia and the Azores. As a deck seaman at the time and winter being what it can be in the North Atlantic, I can tell you that I really envied you snipes down in that warm hole.

Unfortunately, these low self-esteemed, not held enough as a child liberals are all talk. In 2000 a group of Hollyweird libs said that if George Bush was elected they would leave the country. Well, Barb S. and all her buddies are still here. They just got our hopes up for nothing.
