Stop in for a cup of coffee

Good morning, coffee drinkers. Always welcome news when something you enjoy is good for you. I remember back in the '60's, if someone stopped by at any time of day, you'd have coffee, socialize for a while, then get things done. Hmmm kinda like what we do here!

Yesterday we spent 4 hours on the aircraft carrier Yorktown. There was so much to see. Many aircraft, many exhibits on the hanger deck. I struck up a conversation with a Korean War veteran who was an electrician on another class of ship. You could tell how being on the ship took him back to his younger days. I hate to say it but seeing such a powerful representation of the way our country was back in the '40's-'60's, I felt sad how things have changed.

They had the Apollo 7 capsule which the ship retrieved, you could lie down in the same position as the astronauts and hear the sounds and see the video in the windows of the takeoff, orbit, the moon, reentry and splashdown.

The submarine was very interesting too. There was a lot more to see...if you're ever in the area it something you don't want to miss.
