We left this morning about 10am and drove to Corpus Cristi to spend the day on the USS Lexington. It had rained much of the night and the rain continued in the morning. It was quite hot and humid but the day on the WWII aircraft carrier was great. If the US sailors killed on the Lexington could return to see the tram taking visitors between the ship and parking being pulled by a Kawasaki, WWII wouldn't be over. With my truck getting 10.5 MPG towing, the Lexington made me feel better, it carried 1.5 million gallons of fuel and travelled 1 mile on 400 gallons. On the way back we drove through the downtown Corpus Cristi and along the waterfront. The return trip took us on Mustang Island (past Pioneer RV Park where Don & Zola have stayed) and across a narrow channel on the free ferry back to Aransas Pass and the mainland. We stopped in Rockport and had a good Mexican supper. Well the debate is wrapping up. Obama is a very good speaker & debater. McCain is not as polished and doesn't present himself as well BUT I agree with McCain's plans more than Obamas. The lesser of two political evils. Let's not get me started on Congress.
