Looks like we've got five days of rain coming, starting later tonight.
Spent all day on the Iowa doing Tour Guide duty, not something I don't normally do, BUT.....
New Year's day was quiet on the ship, as most of the visiting Iowans were at the Rose Bowl, but Saturday was swamped, with around 1500 visitors, and few Tour Guides.
Uh-Oh!
So our lead sent out an urgent plea for people to show up today, Sunday, so I told him I'd be down.
Pretty quiet until noon, and then over the next few hours we had several hundred people show up, mostly people who weren't able to get aboard during the Thursday pre-game rally.
So, I got to meet a lot of new people, and explain the various parts of the ship that I know, and answer a ton of questions.
Admiral Yamamoto infamously said "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a man with a rifle behind every blade of grass."
And so it should be, a nation of riflemen....

Sounds like a good day, all things considered. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, it wasn't nearly as "bad" as it was on Thursday when we had almost 5000 people on and off the ship during the day, and another 8~10,000 out in the parking lot.......
