My older sis lives in DC with her husband a Marine (no such thing as a ex Marine) he wouldn't go and fly in Desert Storm a pilot of the F18. Forced to retire.
He helped build a system to find water mines to protect our ships and landing boats. One year he was out here with fleet week as they were practicing in the bay. The system work really good 100% find. They tested this system all over the world waters.
Steak and lobster dinner!
I think their base was one of the helicopter carriers at the time around Alameda and the bay bridge.
He's making more money now working doing the same secret stuff for a college as the government has sublet his old job to the private sector. I'm guessing grants dollars went to that college instead of the cheaper military.
Of course with getting older they don't go out after dark. They see all this expansion and wealth going on in their area. Money everywhere. Life is great in some parts of DC.
So I keep telling her that out here in her home town that they shut off a third of the street lights, Dr.s won't take Media Care patients, offices closing up as California is sinking to a sink hole.
Lots of medical building are vacant now looking for renters. How Santa Rosa has changed over sixty five years.

Gallup has just released Barack Obama’s job approval rating for the first half of 2012, broken down by state, and the news is not encouraging for the president.
Obama’s approval rating is below 50 percent in 37 states, ranging from a 26 percent rating in Utah to a 49 percent rating in Michigan. Obama is at 50 percent or higher in just 13 states, from a 50 percent rating in Minnesota to a 63 percent rating in Hawaii. The president is most popular in Washington DC, where his job approval rating is an astonishing 83 percent.
After DC, Obama’s top ten states are: Hawaii 63 percent; Rhode Island 58 percent; Vermont 56 percent; New York 55 percent; Massachusetts 55 percent; Maryland 55 percent; New Jersey 53 percent; Connecticut 53 percent; California 52 percent; and Washington 51 percent.
Finishing up the 13 states in which Obama has his head above the water: Illinois 51 percent; Delaware 51 percent; and Minnesota 50 percent.
The ten states where Obama’s approval is lowest are: Utah 26 percent; Wyoming 28 percent; Alaska 29 percent; West Virginia 31 percent; Idaho 31 percent; Montana 34 percent; Oklahoma 35 percent; Alabama 36 percent; Tennessee 37 percent; and North Dakota 37 percent.
