We have two cruise ships in and a parade of rubber-neckers
heading down to see the Eisenhower. Bronson and I got
caught
in a jamb coming back from Point Pleasant Park this
morning. To add to the
problem, Lr Water street is down to one lane and with
trucking
traffic between the two container piers etc and a zillion
pedestrians...it's chocked off.
I re-traced my route and headed north on a major street
closer
to the west side of the peninsula.
In the old days, all the carriers would dock at pier 20
where
the smaller cruise ship is so the public could board and
inspect the ships. Last one to dock there was the Coral
Sea as she did her
farewell tour.

On the supper hour news saw why things were so busy on
the waterfront.
Not only were the rubber neckers looking at the
Eisenhower, but the largest
container ship in the world steamed in. These ships carry
over 10,000 TCU's
compared to 4000-5000 TCU's for your normal ships. Only
a few ports on the
Eastern Seaboard can handle them. Add to that the
'Anthem of
the Seas' (biggest cruise ship to visit here at around 4000
passengers) which is now a regular visitor and I can
understand all the
excitement. As usual, the aircraft carrier's support
ships tie up in the
dockyard. The Fleet Band from this group will play in the
Nova Scotia Royal
International Tattoo.
That doubled the population of the town I imagine ;-)
Well...maybe the full compliment from the carrier and it's
support group would add up to 6 thousand (a lot of crew
were on
leave) plus another 7 or 8 thousand passengers and crew on the
cruise ships might come close to 3 per cent of our population.
You must have taken some math lessons from The John. ;-)
Where's the courage of your convictions, Don White?

Those are figurative comments, Timmy, not literal comments.
Besides,
shouldn't you be at church, helping the other elders poison
the minds of
the younger generations with religious bull****?
All that religious bull**** you guys peddle and aim at kids
ought to be
labeled for what it is...child abuse.
I can't wait to see Donnie's, "I whole heartedly agree with
this post!"
Lack of principle, Donnie, or just too cowardly to stick up
for your beliefs?
Say what?
I believe Wayne told you to knock it off. What's the matter
with you?
Your days of bellowing orders and expecting people to snap to
attention are long over.
Wayne didn't *tell* me anything. He
asked a question, and I responded. Learn to read.
You show a lot of courage with your smart-assed little
comments, but
don't have the balls to comment
when Harry denigrates both your faith and your friend.
You're a little man, Don White.
He haz provd he cant tak a litl goood naturd razin so mebbe you
shud liten up on widdle donnie so he wont go cryin to
haree.
Just sugestin, mind ya.
Condoning Harry's behavior with his silence denigrates both his
faith
and his 'friend'. Hopefully,
he's ashamed of himself for not showing the tinyest bit of
courage in
sticking up for his 'beliefs'.
Johnny, I think you are insulting Tim. My impression of him is
that he
is fully capable of defending himself in whatever way he
chooses. He
doesn't need you, me or your bowl of turds to fight his battles.
As Wayne said...stop beating a dead horse and let it go.
Then you should be insulted by harry... he defends you all the
time, eh?
Harry occasionally admonishes him. Usually to deflect the topic at
hand.
Woukd you like a pair of my boxer shorts so you can sniff my butt
whenever
you like? Wayne has thrm at the moment, but you might be able to
wrest them
out of his claws.

Oh boy...now Ditzy will get his panties all in a knot thinking about
your offer.
I'm not sure Wayne will let go of them... 
Another for Karen.
