Surfeit of BB

     Way too many basketball games piled up in a few days. Minnesota Boys High School Finals, NCAA Women's playoffs not to mention NCAA Men's playoff games. After spending much of the day scrolling between games with a little golf thrown in, what I have I gained. A bit of entertainment at least. 

Takk for alt,

PS One of you asks about the stress of shipboard life. Actually, I didn't find it too stressful. There was a bit of work, some exercise and good food. The Navy eats very well. Also travel was with a good friend. But the best sanity saver of  all...can you guess? Remember, I was a prairie boy...the horizon at sea, always available to cure feelings of claustrophobia. Perhaps then another sea picture is appropriate

.

We saw a lot of this. If you look closely you can see a 55 gallon barrel the sailors were using for gunnery practice with their 44mm anti-aircraft cannons.


                            These were the cannon firing at 55 gallon drums.
