...that reminds me, JR, of the first Operation Sail, around '65. I went down to Ft. Wadsworth to see the old sailing ships anchored there one morning and they were putting on a show, barely visible in the early fog. They were firing their cannons at each other. Talk about being transported back in time by the power of suggestion, the sound of the cannon through the fog and the barely visible ships. No damage done, all blanks, I presume. Quite an experience, like John Paul Jones stepping back into the present. Bob
