[quote=""Misfit""]I love old ships. I recall visiting a spot in San Francisco with some lovely old ships on display. Managed at that time by the National Park Service.[/quote]
I love me some tall ships. Do you mean Pier 40? I got to stay on one of them for a school field trip. And I like the Maritime Museum.

We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

I missed this. I think the shut down was 6-7 hours in the end? I missed the girl in the chair and I loathe her.
