its like you never left! (hey, I put my head up for the first
time in ages and only the Nav bothers shooting at it). Ref to
another thread, how is your time at sea affecting your road
driving????

I don't think, BTW, your taxation benefits are quite as generous
as the UK's, where six months out of a year at sea gets you down
to zero tax.

Does that mean if you're a Brit you can live on a mooring and be tax
free???? Heck, I'm leaving tomorrow to file for citizenship...I bet
Michael's paying in close to 45% in taxes on his earnings.....

Well I do have dual citizenship? On the road driving and considering we
still steer on the 'right' side. Last time I asked the rental agency for a
small pickup. They gave me an Expedition humongeous SUV at the same price.
Hadn't driven in seven months or so and it was Seattle traffic, third worst
in the nation. Scary very scary for the first hour, then it was like I'd
never left.

As for your other . . . .I always did like target shooting . . . .was it
that bad?

Ah, but scary very scary for _whom_?

Far worse. He kept firing into corners (I watched from behind,
over his other shoulder).
