Hey George;
Yeah, someday I'll tell you what happened when the USAF dropped 30-40K 
gallons of JP-4 on the beach out of the onshore pipeline.......
I miss the good old days too, this country and Europe are not the same ones 
I grew up in, especially California.  Not sure what
all has changed, but it's not good.  We need another Regan, FDR, or JFK I 
think.
Greg
