I’ve been to that Norris Geyser Basin ... and it looks like a scene out of the movie “One Million Years BC”. I almost expected to see dinosaurs walking about, among the barren and steaming land!
Oh for the love of St Petersburg.... you were not!
I was with you, we had liberty in NYC off the LST that made port there, and spent 10 hours in the Blarny Stone drinking, and acting like sailors on liberty till that ugly incident that will remain between us and that nice NYC Police woman....
that "barren and steaming land" really? Really, it was a subway grate, that you spooned with that homeless guy for 20 minutes.... I will give you the barren part but the, after we left the tattoo parlor (BTW did you ever get that one removed?) I know the CO was a bit perplexed on the whole "Dragon & enema bag, but of course the Chief was supportive, up until he saw his wife's name hidden in plane sight...
You and I have very different recollections of that time.
