All Bush's fault, eh? Hey, do you know PDX?

My short but illustrious "military career" was full of little tidbits ... like spending 6 weeks underground doing paperwork in some country it took nearly 24 hours to fly to ... but I never saw any square-inch of that country and never knew which country - was hustled in under cover of darkness and canopies and was hustled out the same way. Didn't even know for sure where we were for fuel stops ... although one old soldier had been that routine before and kept saying where he "thought" we were.
Several "trips" betwixt Floreeda and Virginia and NYC all on business of one sort or another and several attempts at making my records "disappear" - I think that had something to do with the paperwork snafu ... along with a few stories I can't tell. Funny, they always knew just where to find me while I was in ... but couldn't find me when I was "out".

I am e-quainted with PDX and must lightly agree that perhaps, it's in the water. Differences are; he's up there in the more radical city while I'm over on the more-conservative coast; he's younger and thus, less narrow; I'm older and perhaps less brash with, hopefully, slightly less wasted motion; he still has young'uns at home which means he probably gets more "recreation" from his PC time while my kids are grown and gone which means I probably get more "fantasy" time with my PC (hard to say that after looking at the "Deliverance" thread - or the "Foil Hat" thread). PDX has a good voice for a lot of things I think about and try to comment on.
Am I the only one who seriously wonders whether or not Mark Twain was really from this planet?
