    I wouldn't be surprised if Frank had preferred they'd use the N 22nd St entrance for their address, since the army is paid by taxes that are actually paid.

    Happy Frank Adamo Day, on April 27 . . :)

    Google Maps is mistaken however, when they take the F for an E on the drive naming, maybe the above link show this better . . .

    It could be a typo, or an old automatic reading mistake from a map in print maybe . . ?

    If everyone were taxed on what they spent, rather than what they earned, the wealthy would still pay more taxes than the poor and it would be fair to everyone, even boatbuilders.

    Not sure where you got that idea?

    Fighting Terrorism With a Credit Card | The Atlantic
    "Interest payments on America’s war debt could one day exceed the direct costs of combat itself."
    In this case I believe the "E" stands for "East". Note that all the other roads north of Adamo Dr. are also called E <roadname>.

    I have this idea since I think if it isn't paid from past or current taxes, then it's gonna be paid from even more future taxes.

    And, as this is about Real Ocean News, I'm inclined to believe the same goes for the Navy.
    Thanks for explaining, and it sure makes sense, since the East end of the E Adamo Dr connects to the W Brandon Blvd, which further to the East changes into E Brandon Blvd.

    P.S. - Brandon Blvd in Tampa Fl is named after John Brandon and his first wife Martha and their six sons.

    P.S. - Some Reddit talk about this spectacle . . .

    As we approach the 50th anniversary of the seizing of the USS Pueblo I wonder what this year brings.

    Whatever happens this year, 23 January 2018 would be a good day to remember and honor Duane Hodges, I believe.​

    The Ship is now badly fenced in by a concrete wall, on the Taedong River in Pyongyang, in North Korea . . .

    And they stripped the ‘‘A’’ of her bow when she was repainted as a North Korean war museum . . . :(

    Here's a 360° view at the stern, when click+hold+drag the picture.

    Rather than it be penned up like that I would rather see it melted. ;)

    Five years later (now 45 years ago) North Korea stole 1,000 Volvos and much more from Sweden, the Volvos still drive around all over the country . . .

    But by now some problems seem to get a grip, even on the Volvos . . .

    I am okay with a part of the California coast drifting to Australia.

    It turns out there's a lot of science in cartoons, now it makes sense to believe the marsupials got to Oz by the last option rather then the first...
