I don't have guns anymore, either. I haven't fired one since 1988, if I remember correctly.  |

About 60 hours, while unloading vehicles from a ship in Somalia. The first night was no problem. The second night felt extremely long and tiresome. On the third aftenoon, I collapsed in a pile of accessories and slept for at least four hours before I resumed my duties. 24 hour later, I was back in the residence to take a well-deserved shower. The clothes were plastered to my skin and I smelled like an exotic garbage dump. LOL

Wow, toetapping, that's about as tall as it gets. I was up in the World Trade Center in 1985, which is about half the height. |

Nothing stands out as being a really tall building, but once I was in an office on a fifth floor facing a window when an earthquake hit, and that was really scary, as the building swayed with the quake, and I saw myself looking straight down at the parking lot below.

I know that feeling, Violette. I once had to change a light bulb on board a ship in the middle of the Pacific during a storm. On top of the mast, I was hanging above the foamy white wave crests as the ship tilted from port to starboard and back! It is frightening while it lasts, but once you are safe, you have an interesting tale to tell!
