Here, in fact.  :)  Isn't it odd that a carrier has insulation that can be 
set afire with a cigarette butt?   From what I read, and who knows how 
accurate that is, that seems to be what started this 70 million buck fire; 
a butt tossed into some insulation?

A lot of old Navy buddies are really upset about the new uniforms.  I have 
no opinion as I won't have to wear one. :)  Some of those guys should get a 
life!

Quite a ways to drive to work then.  I know the area you're talking about.  
Guess it wasn't too bad back in your days but now 8 west gridlocks solid 
starting about 70th and stays that way until the junction at 5.  I go out 
to a telco group breakfast once a month at Allied Gardens - and while going 
east is fine, west is solid gridlock.
