Eastern time zone

Another day dedicated to the wonderful people at Southwest Airlines!! O.K. O.K. Early rise in LA and trip via shuttle to LAX. Once again the shuttle trip yielded unanticipated benefits listening to the Bible born-again preacher the driver was playing on his radio. A perfect accompaniment to a trip down La Cienaga through Culver City and then on to La Tiera, Aviation Blvd and then LAX. A very quick trip at 6:00am I can assure you. Trying to stay with the book I am reading, "Blind Man's Bluff", and falling asleep every five to ten minutes, drinking water, coffee, eating little red packages of animal crackers, part of the new Southwest regimen!. The book feeds my vicarious need to relive my navy days. Though my contact with the Submarine Navy was limited to passing submariners on the pier or hearing stories in Subic or Pearl during port stops, the years correspond to my days on the Edson. Mind boggling really and hard to realize how many tiers the US Navy existed yet in my mind everything revolved around life on the Edson and trips back and forth to Westpac. I find it totally fascinating and it certainly raises the consciousness and opens ones eyes.
