He's prob gunna need a new bumper. He punched a nice hole and threw some pieces outta whack. He switched lanes thinking we were going to blow a yellow light. We stopped and he clocked us at about 15, didn't even have a chance to skid.

All this cuz of bamboo shrimp

btw mark, i replied to your email about the meet tomorrow.
I lived quite nicely off of E-1 and E-2 pay when I was in. The real money starts when you make E-3. In the Marines, you can apply for off base housing. I use to get an extra $700 a month for housing and $250 for food. I shared a 3 BR place which cost $1,000. So I pocketed lots of the extra money.

Thats in between two major meets. We have a mini-meet every Friday. That would be a good time for a get together.

Okay - it'll probably take some kind of miracle to get that specific free time in order to make it out there (as Reds can probably tell you), but I'll keep trying. I still promise that some day, some how, I'll make it to one of those dang meets - now it's a personal vendetta.

Laurie got offended that I used the word "puke." But to me, that's what her dinner tasted like.
