Sea-Wiz... Not At All Like Cheese Whiz...

Dangit! I left my camera at the club tonight... It was our second night at Spinnaker and it was a blast.

Earlier today Miguel and I went into 103.5 Hank FM and recorded some songs and chatted with Melissa Miller on air. It was so fun - they are always so good to us there, and they are by far the best country station in Panama City (if I do say so myself). And I am so excited because they are having a big birthday party in September when we come back to Spinnaker, so we are gonna get to celebrate with them!


So... it's harder to bring home used ammo shells from the Middle East than you would think. Oh wait... Maybe it's not.

The guys on the ship at the Nassau gave me some used ammo shells from the CIWS. And THEN they showed us video from it being shot - it was RIDICULOUS! They basically said - if you are at the point that you have to fire the CIWS - you are at your last resort. However I will say that I would feel pretty good with THAT thing being the "last resort". It was nutty how powerful and incredible it was.

The shells they gave me were impressive. And they were given by members of the USS Nassau!!! SO it doesn't get much cooler than that. But it turns out that trying to bring something like that home in your luggage is NOT such a good idea. And sending it doesn't work either. However... as much as I wish I had made it home with these items, I will say that it is quite comforting that bringing any kind of ammo - used, unused, thinking about being used.... is extremely difficult. That's not something that should be easy, you know?



Peace. Love. Fiddle.
