The preponderance of my co-workers are retired military. Guess where
they fall on you alleged continuum?

Actually, this is a case of stereotyping too.

True, true... I was assuming I knew what you would have said next; but
have been in the same place a fair amount of the time & and have
probably made a lot of the same observations.


Damn nice boat..... and Oriental is a neat place to be. If you know a
local Viet Nam era spook by the surname of "Carter," he and his better
half have been asking me to visit the area. I might just do that
during the upcoming holidays....


I b'lieve I have met the gentleman; Oriental is a changing place...
former working town becoming (in the final stages of becoming) a retiree
& tourist spot. It's kept a lot of it's charm though. If you come up to
Oriental and/or New Bern, please let me know and we'll be glad to
welcome you, maybe go for a boat ride.

Fair Skies
