I'm not sure which ship's in town but anyways a USS (will find out name) docked in Fremantle today. I saw it as I rode down the coast but thought nothing more of it.

UNtil...I was picking up some fish etc from a supermarket quite a distance from the port. Some of the sailors were there w a friend & I started talking to one of them. He kept calling me "Ma'am" I felt so old He was cool & we laughed that today when they arrived, it was a boooteful day..compared to the last few...no rain!!! Nice gents & are stationed in Maryland.

Conversation went sort of like this & I have to giggle...

Me (forgetting that they're still on tour): Where are you headed after Western Australia?
Officer: Sorry Ma'am, that's classified.
Me-Whoops, right..sorry! (I thought of a Kelly McGillis line from Top Gun but I don't know how he'd respond...)
