re: #825 Desert Dog

I tend to get inane about things sometimes. I have a love of meeting new people and seeing new places. It is very fascinating to see how other people live. I was a lucky young man was was able to study for 1 year in the UK back in my college days. I backpacked around most of Europe as a result. My work has allowed me to travel quite a bit and my wife is from the Philippines (we go back every year). My only regret is I have not seen much of Africa. Only Egypt and Morocco. Once I get enough to retire, Mrs. Desert Dog and I plan of seeing every place we can.

Reminds me of an Army poster I saw once:

Join the Army and see the World
Visit exotic lands
Meet interesting people
And kill them
