    Every week was once fleet week in downtown San Diego.


    Then the sailors and marines started wearing civvies on shore leave. Then the theaters, tattoo parlors, etc. were torn down, zoned out.


    Don't know whether they hang out down there any more, since it was "improved".

    @propertius: I'm sad to hear about the civvies.
    One of my favourite things about visiting San Diego was the scenery.

    Photo number two is funny.


    Check this out:


    I wrote this yesterday about the Columbia Journalism troublemaker:


    "She may be in the grey, but it looks she's got advisors and a hardened gps up the wazoo"


    And check out what Jim Hightower writes on Alternet today:


    "Goldman holds billions in taxpayer cash, plans for billions in exec bonuses this year, and has powerful friends in Obama's govt. up the wazoo."


    He's a proud populist just like [some of] us:

    Helpful Hint: If you see the guys in pic 3, do not refer to them as sailors; they will rip your face off.

    Hmm these photos are a lot tamer than the ones being snapped last night at a certain gay bar in Hells Kitchen where a bunch of gay marines stripped out of their uniforms. so much for DADT...

    This type of nitpicking is usually beneath me, but the soldiers' feet are so far apart I would say they are "at ease" rather than "at attention." Getty's going to force a lot of news outlets to run stupid corrections tomorrow.


    Unless everything I learned about the military from the movies is wrong.

    @Venus_In_Retrograde: On the one hand, that was petty, officer, but on the other, your attention to detail is adimiral. You run a tight ship, caption! All in all, it warrants a correction.
