June 09, 2004field tripI'm going to Charleston today. I don't have any good reason for going. I just want to walk around the old town area and take some pictures, get something good to eat and drink a few beers. I'll probably spend the night there, so don't look for much posting today. Charleston is a beautiful city and the ride up there is a real eyefull as Highway 17 winds its way through the salt marshes and the stands of live oak trees dripping with Spanish moss. It doesn't get much more Southern than that. I'll see y'all later. Comments
Well, have a great day, then. (In the meantime, I just realized the last time I had to enter my info to comment, I capitalized 'http', so I'm fixing it now... I am SUCH a blonde.)

Posted by: Brent on June 9, 2004 08:43 AMCrap, wonder if he realizes that I live in Charleston, I guess I will go cruise the bars and look for a grumpy old bearded guy.

Posted by: Stevie on June 9, 2004 09:54 AMIn downtown Charleston there is a park with old cannons aimed at Fort Sumpter (Waterfront Park). At night my Navy buddie and I stuffed a roman candle up his coat sleeve and lit a cigarette fuse, walked down to the cannon and put the roman candle in. We walked to a nearby bench, sat and waited. There is a 4 lane highway between the park and the harbour. After about 10 minutes fire started shooting out of the cannon and then different colored balls shot out over the highway into the harbor. Cars from both directions came to a screeching halt. It was quite a memorable sight. I have fond memories of Charleston. We used to "terrorize" that town.

You deserve a break. The Police are watching me all the time. Posted by: stephen mcateer on June 9, 2004 04:37 PMBejus, if I'd a known you was comin', I'd a baked you a pie (I'm south of Myrtle Beach). ;) Posted by: RoguePlanet on June 9, 2004 06:23 PMRogue! Stop hittin' on the bastard! I think I know what kind of pie HE likes. Posted by: MildlyDisturbed on June 9, 2004 07:30 PMHonest to god, , that sounds so exciting and over-the-edge that I pray you'll come back safe... Posted by: BJK on June 9, 2004 08:43 PMSpill some whisky for the Hunley boys. Make sure they planted 'em right. Posted by: Justthisguy on June 9, 2004 10:15 PMLived in Charleston almost four years when I was in the Navy... It was a neat place. Very old, lots of history, and pleanty to see and do. I have very fond memories of living there. Hope you have a good stay! Posted by: Bob on June 9, 2004 10:53 PMI thought Charleston was something you did, not somewhere you go. I was serious about what I wrote above. They've just recently held the funeral for the crew of CSS Hunley, the first submarine to sink a ship in war. That was her 3rd or 4th crew which drowned, doing that. Kamikazes? Poofters! The Confederate Kaiten showed what real men were made of! Posted by: Justthisguy on June 10, 2004 12:47 AMIs Big John's still open? When I was a cadet at the Citadel, I spent many a Saturday night there tossing back a few and staring at the posters, pictures and news clippings from John's days playing football with the University of Illinois and New York Giants. Posted by: CitadelGrad on June 10, 2004 05:38 AMApologies for the raving nonsense I put on your blog site. I have been experiencing a sense of humour failure. Posted by: stephen mcateer on June 10, 2004 11:01 AMWell I didn't see nary hide nor hair of the grumbly one. I checked evey dive , alley and house of ill reput in the area. I did see some white haired guy sleeping on a park bench at White point garden, but there were no cig butts or empy beer or wine cans around him so I passed. Posted by: James Old Guy on June 10, 2004 11:29 AMRogue! Stop hittin' on the bastard! What choice do I have, when you deny me your essence? :) Posted by: RoguePlanet on June 10, 2004 01:44 PMI lived in Charley Stone for 3 years, at the AFB. Them were some good times. Loved the beaches. Southern babes are uniquely hot. And ya gotta love them palmetto bugs. Is it still called the Slave Market, or did they rename it yet? Posted by: Beast of Bourbon on June 10, 2004 06:02 PMIt's now called just "The Market."
