Roger,
Enjoyed every post of your Italy trip. Gotta admit that going first class (a la Roger) and 3rd cabin gives one a bit different perspective. . . but still I have many fond memories. Guess pulling mussels off the Naples dock pilings and eating them raw might have given me an attitude change -- nice nurses, though.
Not sure about what old Duster did for his country -- survive, you bet. Dig a deeper fox hole, run faster, be extremely luckly... hmmm. Gotta think about this.
Come visit!
Dusty
