D.C.

Recently, my Aunt and her childhood friend visited D.C. in hopes to start a campaign to change the colors of the United States flag from red, white, and blue to moldy green and coward yellow (packer colors). Luckily, President Bush heard about this cause and quickly stated that he would veto any legislation involving changing the colors of the flag of the United States. Upon hearing this, the coalition, headed by my mis-guided Aunt and the childhood friend decided to join the Peace Corps. They were both quickly shipped off to the island of Lesbos-Mega located 126 miles off the coast of Angola, Africa. While there, they were stationed to teach the natives proper hygiene and how to use silverware. During their 3rd "silverware" presentation they were both placed in a huge pot of boiling water and then quickly eaten with plastic "sporks".

The two photos below are the last of their legacy.

U.S.S. Kentucky

On a recent trip to Corpus Christi, TX we toured the U.S.S. Kentucky. The Kentucky, a decommissioned aircraft carrier, served in WWII and is available for tours. The tours are not guided. I was surprised with the access we had to the ship. The ship reminded by of a complicated realm of caves and caverns. The ship looked massive from the outside. It seemed even bigger on the inside. This attraction was worth the minimal price of admission.
