We thought it was a jap sub getting ready to torpedo our ferris wheel!!!

There is a NOAA Buoy 20 miles north of us on the Lake but this was just off shore.

I know it's a weather buoy, it just looked so strange!

Actually I was trying to be nice( I know, you guys aren't used to that)... but the term "jap" may be offensive to some/many. I'm sure you were referring to the Spielberg's "1941" but in this day and age.... political correctness cannot be ignored.

Heh, heh.... you're right, it was the US Navy... Submarine Service, thank you. but I was discharged in 1971....Ahhh. Those were the days.

As a side note, it was my Dad who was the war hero (and mine).... he flew B17's over Germany. 3 purple hearts, distinguished flying cross... etc. and now it's my son, SFC Scott Ford. US Army, 82nd airborne, two bronze stars and a bunch of other bling in two tours of Iraq. Currently bound for Germany... where he'll probably get deployed again... this time to Afganistan.

Guys.... I rarely brag, never on myself... but I'm so proud of both my dad and my son I have to let it out... 'cause you know... they deserve it.
