I am so glad this week is over. Every time I come out here, the stupidity factor has gone up by at least 20%. Lots of observations I want to give about the things the US Navy is doing in the Middle East, but there is a better time and

Off the boat again! I just can’t wait to get off the boat again! So I can go booming with my friends, I just can’t wait to get off the boat again! (Sung to Willy Nelson’s “On the road again.”) We used to sing that back during my seagoing days.

Participants in a rally Sunday in Kobe, where the 7th International Congress on AIDS in Asia and the Pacific is being held, hold a banner calling for safer conditions for sex workers. I can’t figure out if they are talking about sex work or set work. Maybe these girls are
