I did the same exact thing. I'd bring about 10 rolls with me when the boat left. My pops would send me another case or two about 4 months in.

I paid for all of my booze and liberty shenanigans with that stuff with plenty to spare. When the war started we went 40 days without a resupply. Cigs and dip ran out from the ships store after like 10 days. I made 500 off of my last roll. Supposedly it was the last roll of dip on a ship of 5000 people. I doubt that but I was amazed I was able to sell each can for like 50 - 60 bucks. Even traded a can for a pair of sweet ass lox boots!

When I was in the navy I used to sit and watch the stars at night when we were deployed. I used to think that astronomers would be so jealous of the sky I saw. Literally 1000 miles of nothing in every direction. Such a beautiful sky.

Not many places on land that are that remote anymore that aren't in the middle of the Sahara or the Himalayas.

How large was the explosion in your mind when we discovered the microbe that could substitute the phosphate group with an arsenic based group in its DNA chain?

Just curious.
