@Stradee,
Alex, yep, been there - seen it - done them - - - - - errrr, something like that...grin. Typhoooooons of course. One night my airplane was totally surrounded by St. Elmos fire - that static electric thing that makes the entire plane glow white with greenish tones. It was really fun.
Thanks, Stradee. I admire McCain for his service - but, it was a war we lost and should never have entered in the first place - just like Iraq.
I am still stunned at the hospitality of the Vietnamese people who welcome us even today to visit - even the northern people we damaged and killed so much. They are an amazing culture. The people I talked with were all really friendly, nice and sincere folks. And, I can from first hand tell you all that the country is one of the most beautiful in all of Asia. I've been to many of them and some I can't talk about even today.
All clicked. Nuther tree smiling. And, that is what really counts today.
