    Default Jim...on your way to that one....you will pass this one...near me.



    Visible at night from the Beach here in Virginia.
    We always welcomed seeing CHESY LIGHT, every time we came home from a Deployment.
    Great fishing all year round because of the GULF STREAM.
    I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
    So, this is for them.
