FLASH.......
it's no longer a roomer, BB-54 will indeed be moved to Springfield,
Mo.
that right, land-locked thousands of feet above the Ocean she first sailed
in. rigged and outfitted with every possible piece of modern navigational and
electronic marvel. forever awaiting pier-side for her far-flung treks to the
vast turquoise expanse, beneath which only submarines dare play. this when a
grissilled man in a straw hat & denim cover-alls happens by with a poke of
cat-fish in one hand and a brown-jug in da-other. the boat catches the mans
sharp,though narrowed eye, and he stops for a moment; turning to lay down the
mess of big cats in his right paw so-to scratch up-side his ear while
thinking..........
"say thar, little-miss" the oll-gent lets go; just what in
blue-heaven are them soup-can size white mushroom thing-a-ma-jigs perching on
yor'in role-bar back thar above that-there steern wheel at where you outten to be
haven ya Evinrudes? and if'in that is a TV and not one of dem new fageled
Bata-max video machinez. dozen it get Andy Opey? Ae...... <very serious look>

dad-traps......
