    Cool pic! Juneau has been rearmed with 14 3"/50s replacing her original 32 40mm, the only one of her class to receive this update. Six twin 3" have replaced quad 40s around the superstructure, and the twin 3" on the fantail takes the place of two twin 40s, originally side by side. There had been two further twin 40s, one each side of the bridge.

    "A General Motors TBM-3E Avenger (Bureau Number 91404) crashes into the barrier while landing on board USS Philippine Sea (CV-47), during operations January 17, 1951."

    For reference, I was five days old when this happened. I really don't remember anything about it.

    Where is the rest of my Tomcat? Thanx. And a photo with multiple planes, please. If others get theirs you owe me one. Not a cat or a structure photo this time. Can you do it? Or do I have to do it ?

For the past 30 years, the F-14 Tomcat has assured U.S. air superiority, playing a key role in ensuring victory and preserving peace around the world. The F-14 Tomcat will be removed from service and officially stricken from the inventory in September of 2006. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 2nd Class Steven King (RELEASED)"

    You ******

    When I said I was çrying i did and now again. I guess we are truly so far apart in the end. But I am above it. You are down in it. Like Trent Reznor sings 1989... It is time to re-think what I am doing here. The youngsters are in need, the others....I do not know. I could give you the punk answer but let' s see. I have been to the Cure and Sting concerts during the last two years with effort and seen the people come here. I am so above it but down in it. Go figure it out...

    The Tyger
    BY WILLIAM BLAKE
    Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
    In the forests of the night;
    What immortal hand or eye,
    Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

    In what distant deeps or skies.
    Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
    On what wings dare he aspire?
    What the hand, dare seize the fire?

    And what shoulder, & what art,
    Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
    And when thy heart began to beat,
    What dread hand? & what dread feet?

    What the hammer? what the chain,
    In what furnace was thy brain?
    What the anvil? what dread grasp,
    Dare its deadly terrors clasp!

    When the stars threw down their spears
    And water'd heaven with their tears:
    Did he smile his work to see?
    Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

    Tyger Tyger burning bright,
    In the forests of the night:
    What immortal hand or eye,
    Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

    We have all the time in the grave to think about it. Have a nice life and I will enjoy my maximum pain killers if they work.... Never heard though that Ceasar had come up to complain about Brutus. This is truly the end. Sorry if you miss me, the others can change the thread... Kph
