However, the historic site manager at Fort Morgan told the navytimes.com Web site that the wreckage is likely of less historic significance, probably a rumrunner ship from the prohibition era.



Rum is good.... ;)

Rum makes the world go around 8)

Rum has a special place in a Nalgene bottle in my suitcase when I travel 8)

Rum w/ diet Coke and Oreos have been dinner too many times to count when I'm, "on the road..." Hilton Honnors usually has a pack of Oreos in the room 8)

In fact I had a rum drink tonight :wink:

Remember to buy rum, diet coke, and Oreos when KK comes to visit the nest time. 8) 8)
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

the three I have are all small ones. I am thinking a lantern-type 24 LED might be something to get for the occasional power failures lasting more than an hour or two..

That's pretty interesting. I am a bit of a shipwreck and lighthouse geek, so I always appreciate stuff like this.

BTW. Meyers rum and caffenine free diet coke with a slice of lime is heavenly. My choice of sides would be pringles
