.......By 2200 the men had been to GQ twice. All indications point that this could be a night of harassment. Failing to penetrate the screen in early attacks, a number of enemy were downed some miles out. Today the Japanese concentrated on picket station 10, bearing 260T, and some 72 miles from Bolo. All ships at this station became victims of a vicious attack. Aaron Ward (DM 34) was hit; Little (DD 803) was blasted by 24 planes and sunk by 1855. LSM(R) 195 was hit at 1910 and abandoned. LCS 25 was damaged while trying to help out. At station 9, bearing 245T and 52 miles from Bolo, Macomb was hit. Casualties for all were 90 dead and 158 wounded.
I utilize a Crave Case of White Castles to throw off sniffer canines.My cellphone picture of the dog & pony show sans pony yesterday was so bad I was not going to say anything about it. Since it hit tonight's news, I'll let the local ABC affliate tell the story. I was sitting in the chair behind where the Ecstasy was hidden and am just out of the picture in the video.

Just pretend this is hwitty.
Uhhhh is it just me or does that look more like a " PRESENTATION CASE"rather than a cigar box??? Take a close look at the closing clasp
And the dove tailed joints... !!
I generally don't believe in new age hippy miracle cures but...
A few years ago a friend of ours gave us a thing called a "Magic Massage Ultra."

We haven't used it until now.
When my wife was in therapy for her knee they used a similar device as part of her therapy.
Her knee still gives her problems occasionally and we decided to try it out.
I checked it out by sticking the electrodes on my right forearm. Because of my neuropathy it's always sore. After a few minutes of zapping, it really seems to have helped.
I stuck the electrodes on my wife's knee and she says it stopped hurting.
We may just havta use this thing more often.
Looks like a version of a Tens unit. Chiropractors use them a lot. I have a small battery operated one I use on my sore back.
Yup, I plan on having one Miller Lite.
They were giving away donuts too! A police dog that can sniff out Ecstasy with doughnut fumes in the air would surely be able to disregard the scent of White Castles.

USS Pavlic - APD-70
USS Aaron Ward (DM34)
The USS Aaron Ward was a newer Sumner-class destroyer armed with three twin 5" gun turrets.
In the 3 May 1945 action at Radar Picket Station 10, the USS Little (DD 803) and the LSM-195 were sunk by kamikazes. The USS Aaron Ward (DM 34) was very badly damaged, also by kamikazes. The LCS-25 was dismasted by a kamikaze.
The USS Little was hit by three kamikazes, the USS Aaron Ward by six. Between them they had also shot down five more kamikazes. The USS Little lost 30 men, the USS Aaron Ward, 42 dead, 54 wounded. The LCS-83 helped fight the fires on the USS Aaron Ward and rescued many of the men from the USS Little. The USS Aaron Ward was towed in to Kerama Retto for repairs. Photos taken there give you some idea of the destruction that many of the radar picket destroyers suffered from kamikaze attacks.

In spite of the damage, she was patched up enough to steam under her own power and later limped 3,000 miles back to the States, where she was ultimately sold for scrap.
