USS BOSTON Sail and Rudder Co, Ltd. or Is there life after your boat gets scrapped?
I served in the Navy, a plankowner aboard the USS BOSTON (SSN-703) Decommissioned in 1999 and scrapped in 2002. Now I find myself in the unique cradle-to-grave position of helping to care for its remains at the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park. All that really remain are the sail and rudder shipped here in 2003 along with a few cleats. I feel like I'm caring for a vessel that met a premature and untimely demise. Now I care for her remains. ...Sort of.

Bruce,I get headaches whenever a thunderstorm is in our area.It never fails I always can tell when we are going to get a storm.I noticed that Buffalo had a tornado yesterday,maybe you have the same "blessing".Sometime I just get one reading Wes's posts,but its more a pain in the A$$.nyuk nyuk!
Yeah, it actually touched down along the Buffalo/Cheektowaga border near the interstate I-90. They are pretty rare here. I rode my bike to work on Friday and with all the rain waited it out an hour or so and was fine. You don't get too many of those around here!
