Very effective. Changed Naval warfare from wooden ships to iron ships.   Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

This is what they created during the war. Eventually moved from the Phillipines to this museum  Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Have you been to the Military Heritage & Aviation Museum in Punta Gorda Florida? I just heard about it today but haven't been there yet. I will be at the Punta Gorda airport tomorrow but the museum isn't re-opening until November 1st. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18762 | Just made me wonder if the Edison home/ museum survived.
That's a good tour if you never saw it. (suggest the guided tour, because a lot of information) You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Earned 325 dollars in freeplay for 8 months of using the credit card. I run all 325 freeplay dollars through a video poker machine to hopefully hit a Royal flush jackpot of over 1400. Did not hit the royal but did get a 4 of a kind. In the end I got a little lucky and cashed out 350 real dollars. I hit the buffet to pig out after playing. Pretty nice walking out of a casino with 350 dollars  Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |
