    Grammar is the difference between helping your brother, Jack, off a horse

    and

    helping your brother jack off a horse.

    While we use both grammar and punctuation to clearly explicate our ideas for our readers, they are not the same. Punctuation marks are the symbols we use to clarify meaning, question marks, exclamation points, periods, etc. Grammar is the structure of language. You can think of it as word order and choice

    Grammar is a two-part system inclusive of syntax (selection & structure) and morphology (inflection & dialect). The problem with writing is that you don't get the necessary inflection unless you know how to punctuate it.

    I wanted to add more, but my drunk finger hit post. Then I farted; it bubbled. This just became a bad idea all around. Ttyl!

    The Lincoln has finished up or is finishing up Quals this week.

    She has some videos released this week of her high speed turns and other situations. For those who don't understand, a carrier accelerates pretty hard and you need your harness in the seat or you hold on to something such as a stanchion.

    There has been only one Carrier in our entire history, the USS Enterprise. This one features 8 nuclear reactors. (It was featured on one of the Star Trek Movies having to do with whales and time travel.. you can see Checkov kneel next to the working reactor boiling water to acquire a sample as one of the Marine and his wardog patrols several catwalks above.

    The Enterprise lives on through the memories of those who served on her and typed certain things onto the Internet One of the two things that will never be confirmed is the actual top speed of this carrier, somehwere north of 60 mph actual. Other surface warships had trouble keeping up because the E could simply generate enough wind to run carrier ops in a part of the world where it is liteally too calm to make a wind. This would be a ultimate take advantage of the planet and use it against the enemy who found that they cannot launch for love or money now.

    The other thing about the E was people who worte about her, shared memories of a Rooster tail at speed. One worried that the rooster wave that as generated would pour grey and green water all over the aft flight deck and flood out the hanger spaces below with obvious probems. I have carefully hunted for any video of the Big E making such a tail but I feel that it's pretty classified to this day.

    The E is no longer with us, the reactors were physically removed pernamently through the sides of the hull and tossed, the metal of the hull has been where possible sent to mills to be melted into alloys to be used whereever it's characteristics re needed. So it will live on as something or many many somethings. The quarter deck and it's contents were saved.

    I live very close to the Hampton Virginia VA Hospital. This facility is located on the very tip of the peninsula just as I-64 enters the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. I had the privilege to watch the BIG E as it returned to Norfolk after it's last deployment. In the photo I posted before the carrier's ID is not correct. I think this is the Nimitz. As some of you might know the USS Normandy just recently lost a crewmen in the Atlantic. The skipper of that ship is Navy Captain Derek A. Trinque. On Oct the 12th 2000 this man was Operations Officer on the USS Cole when it was attacked. I was standing on the VA campus watching the USS Normandy come in that Saturday. This comment has nothing to do with Trucking however since I can no longer drive, one of my life's pleasures is to watch these Navy ships of war come in and out. The feeling I had inside me that day watching the big E come in was akin to watching the Dale Sr truck pass on I 85 going home after his death at Daytona.
