Good thread Kendall...makes ya think.

on a personal note, the loss of my dad when I was 18 still hurts. I would have liked him to know that I turned out not to be a total fuck-up...'cause that's the direction I was heading when he died.

I'd certainly put Alexandria high on the list. For me though it's trains. I watched them endlessly as a kid, but never had the guts to hop a freight. Wish I had.

Sailing ships as well. In Mystic Ct. I spent a couple of nights on an old whaler...and I'm convinced that had I lived a hundred and fifty years ago, I would have spent my life at sea.
