Open thread

I won’t be posting tomorrow (unless I can sneak in a few minute in the a.m.), because I’m doing something cool:  I’m spending the day on the Bay, on a U.S. Coast Guard ship, watching the Blue Angels rehearse their maneuvers preparatory to the big air show this weekend.  Mr. Bookworm is worried that several hours on ship board will be boring, but I’m bringing a couple of books and am planning on relaxing.

How did I get this marvelous opportunity?  Simple.  I joined the Navy League.  You can too and, if you live in an area near a port, good things will come to you.

I will, of course, report back on my day sometime tomorrow evening.  Until then, feel free to use this post as an open thread, subject to my usual rules:  no obscenities, no personal attacks, no threats.
