    I'm on the verge of talking my wife into a drive to Gettysburg this summer. The number one place in America that I want to see.

    Take my advice and don't go in the summer. The place is overrun with tourists. You can barely find a place to park anywhere, hotels are expensive, and the park roads are bumper to bumper. But if you go before May or after September, you can really get a nice battlefield experience without all of the very annoying crowds. The new Visitor Center is fantastic.

    That is one of the under appreciated museums in the country. Nobody knows about it. And there are three very cool old masonry forts nearby, one from the Spanish colonial era.

    I was fortunate enough to secure an invitation to the official retirement of the A4 which took place at the NAM at Pensacola. It's a great place. This is on display, another great airplane aka Willie the Whale.

    I had a metal toy of one of those when I was a kid. The wings folded just like in the picture. It was made in Japan.

    So, she had huge tits because she was fat, I assume? Is it that difficult to find a woman with big boobs?

    I grew up in an air base town during the Vietnam war. They shipped out the F-4 wing to Nam and then the Air Force bought a bunch of surplus Navy Skyraiders which happened to be perfect for close air support. They trained up for 6 months and then shipped out as well. One of them actually shot down a MiG-17 with its cannon when it foolishly tried to get low and turn with them

    They were probably up and out at one time when she was younger but when I first saw her they were knee slappers.
    She also stole money from him all the time to feed her pill habit.
