I didn't know where Nanjing was, so I googled it. So it's known for it's massacre and it's university, eh?

I did a intro dive in Kauai. Loved it as well, besides almost dying. Which is really why I wanted to get training.

Uncle just won $1mil in the NY Lottery.  Dude's a Vietnam Vet, serving multiple tours so his brother could stay home with his family/kids and stay out of the war.  Dude was a Chinook flight engineer, and flew all kinds of crazy missions.  Never been able to talk about all of them, but some of his stories were nuts.

 

He was doused with Agent Orange multiple times, never knowing exactly what it would do long term.  Found out down the road that it was eating his skin off his body and he used to lose patches constantly.  Has multiple other health issues, wears a bag to poop and pee in, has no teeth, diabetic, and had a psycho wife who took as his cash for drugs and left him with 2 kids and nothing else.

 

 If anyone deserves to win something like that, it's him.  Granted he'll take the lump sum because his health is so bad, so probably net what, 600K at most?  But I hope he spends it on hookers, he doesn't drink or do drugs, but dang I'm so happy for him I couldn't sleep last night and am just telling everyone.

 

Talk about Good News.
