SNAKES ON A BASE!

After dinner I was going in to my room when CDR was at her door with a bucket in her hand. She said "John, do you see that?" Down the hall was the snake slithering away from CDR's room. It proceeded to go into another door which was locked. About 20 minutes later and 3 rooms the snake hid in, we had Norm the Navy seal turned Ortho Physicians Asst. charm the snake. It was a catch and release program. Needless to say everyone in here was sealing off the bottom of their doors that night.

OSPREY @ NIGHT

The night photos are mine, but I included some other pics (http://www.richard-seaman.com) since most of you might not know what the Osprey looks like. I have some of my own pics of the Osprey from the Miramar air show, but they are on the computer back home. I set my camera up on the tripod about 1 foot off the ground and it got blown over from the thrust of the propellers as I took shelter behind the SUV. It is still alive! I almost had my first casualty, but I brought it back to life. The yellow light is the crew chief walking by the camera as the shutter was open. They have a little light they wear on there vest. I was chewing sand for about 30 minutes after takeoff. Next time I don't think I will get so close.
