They got to go play with the boats and swim all the time. As an adult, thinking about that show, since Daddy was a park ranger and had a boat for his job, and therefore Florida department of natural resources bought gas for his boat, I just wonder if skipTHE SKIFF was using Florida-paid-for gasoline. Probably was. Totin' privileges. Edited August 1, 2023 by Alpo I hate otto 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably was. Totin' privileges. As a kid raised in Florida, I loved watching Flipper (tv show) and Sea Hunt. Being so young, I couldn't understand why the dolphins at the beach didn't play with us like on the show. True fact - In the original movie Flipper, they didn't have many special effects, let alone CGI. They actually speared a wild dolphin and beached it so they could save it for the film. The scene in which the dolphin gets speared was real. I didn't learn that until I was in my late 40's...what a disappointing bubble buster that was. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were there for GMLS Mk 26 Missile Launcher “C” School. It was fun for the first 3 hours of a 5 hour trip.

Texas Joker Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 It's a counterclock: one hung on the wall opposite the bar in Callahan's crosstime Saloon so the patrons standing at the bar could look up and read it in the mirror. Series written by Spider Robinson. Fun read with some interesting and thought provoking undertones. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Doc Webster, feeling geneal, said to the bar one day "I've mixed chromosomes from vegetables with canine DNA "Crossed Lassie with a cantaloupe" Said Mike, "So what'd you get?" "Why, a melon-collie baby, and one hell of a startled vet!" Spider, oh Spider, oh won't you tell us where Callahan's is hidden, and we'll do our drinking there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to look up the meaning of SMOF while on my first cup of coffee. I'm not amused by that fact. 30 minutes ago, Texas Joker said: First place I heard. 'Shared joy is increased, shared sorrow is lessened.' It is true. Also, anyone who has been in the military can attest that "misery loves company." Brothers-in-arms to share the misery with makes it far easier to endure. Oh, and yes, sisters-in-arms too. It also applies to other shared experiences as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
