This book shoulda been placed on top! Its an awesome read, and has further verified my theory that the lamestream media is no longer impartial, and hasn't been for quite a few generations. Mr. Day is a man that I would LOVE to meet, even if he didn't have an MOH. Excellent read, thank you so very much for posting it!RabidAlienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035887632706442114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-67877665848716035862012-06-09T09:57:32.014-05:002012-06-09T09:57:32.014-05:00ML, yup that's a great book.

Hey they still have wiring on the walls in the engineering spaces to do it! It would probably disintegrate but you gotta dream. I don't know if the 1MC still works but maybe a road trip to find out!Keadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09982258812373127063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-65721065638142192132012-06-08T19:07:34.471-05:002012-06-08T19:07:34.471-05:00I clicked.

My shopping cart is now one book heavier. *sigh* Just need to keep collecting those Gift Cards, one of these days Mrs.Alien will allow me to actually purchase more books! I'm getting nervous, seein' as how my to-be-read bookshelves are down to about 3/4 of one shelf. Need to refill!RabidAlienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035887632706442114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-36559658144678960692012-06-08T17:53:56.851-05:002012-06-08T17:53:56.851-05:00Yep, that is a GOOD book!Yep, that is a GOOD book!Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-46383172685416544492012-06-08T17:20:18.947-05:002012-06-08T17:20:18.947-05:00Aw, I loves me that USS North Carolina.

It's worth the trip to Wilmington just to walk her decks, esp. on a cold week-day like when I was there--I was literally the only one aboard at times.<br /><br />And yes, the thought of disconnecting the gangplank and declaring it to be mine exclusively did cross my mind I mean, like...how you gonna take a whole battleship back away from me, especially when I have a Smith and Wesson J-frame and an extra speed strip in my pockets?<br /><br />But the fantasy faded.
