JOURNAL ARCHIVE: Re: Journal May 27, 2006
Went to Camp Couchdale in the summer of '81, after graduating 9th grade.
Met a girl named Phoebe, took her out on the lake in a boat and paddled around. We wrote letters for a long time afterwards.

That just caught up with me. Along the girl named Phoebe that Kerry Burgess picked out randomly on a dance floor in 1981, he also asked a girl to dance in 1986 one night in Wisconsin and that he knew long enough for me to now remember details about.
In the context of my artificial memory, I was stationed at the United States Navy base in Great Lakes Illinois and as a United States Navy Fire Controlman 3rd Class Petty Officer I was attending the Class A school for the Fire Controlman occupational rating and which teaches the fundamentals of the computer equipment that rating maintains for the weapons systems of United States Navy warships and other ships that have defensive weapons systems.
I do not recall the day I met her. That must have been the summer of 1986 and I think was about four to six weeks after I had arrived in Illinois after I had left an earlier school in Orlando Florida.
I just caught the association. Her birthday was 2 September 1965. I always remember that because it was exactly two months before my birthdate.
I don't recall the name of the bar but I remember it was a popular place and it was a fairly long drive from the US Navy base in North Chicago to that dance club in Wisconsin. There were a lot of women in that bar that night. I walked up and asked her to dance and we dated for a long time after that. I was thinking of a her again recently when I watched the 1986 film "Short Circuit" on television.
She was from Arlington Heights. I stayed there several times in that condo in Arlington Heights.

She definitely lived in Arlington Heights and I know that because after we started dating I traveled to their condo several times while I was attending the United States Navy Fire Controlman "A" school near North Chicago in Great Lakes Illinois.
I "remember" one time, and that much have been my 2 November 1986 birthday because I never went back there after I left soon after in November 1986 for thirty days leave in Arkansas, she and her mother presented a birthday cake to me at their condo in Arlington Heights.
I don't recall if I told them what my favorite brand of cake was although I did like strawberry cake but I am not certain if I told her that was my favorite. Maybe I did. I can't recall. I'm not certain if I ever would have said that strawberry cake was my favorite type of birthday cake or any type of cake and I cannot recall if she even asked me about that. If I did tell her that then I was not expecting the cake they had for me. The cake, which might have been white cake, contained full strawberries within the cake. I liked it but the full strawberries was unusual and I don't think I had ever seen that before so I "remember" it now.

This so-called Dr. Brown is dangerous.
He's a real nutcase.

Hang around with him,
you'll end up in big trouble.

Yes, sir.

You got a real attitude problem.
You're a slacker.

You remind me of your father

USS Princeton (CG-59)
USS Princeton (CG-59) is a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser serving in the United States Navy. Armed with naval guns and anti-air, anti-surface, and anti-submarine missiles, plus other weapons, she is equipped for surface-to-air, surface-to-surface, and anti-submarine warfare. She also is the home of two Seahawk LAMPS III helicopters. This warship is named for the Revolutionary War victories over the British by George Washington in and around the town of Princeton, New Jersey.
On the morning of 18 February 1991, during Operation Desert Storm, Princeton was patrolling an operating area 28 nautical miles (52 km) off Failaka Island in the Persian Gulf, on the west side of the decoy U.S. Marine and naval invasion forces afloat. Two Italian-made MN103 Manta bottom-mounted influence mines detonated, one just under the port rudder and the other just forward of the starboard bow, most likely a sympathetic detonation caused by the first explosion. The blasts cracked the superstructure, buckled three lines in the hull, jammed the port rudder, flooded the #3 switchboard room through chilled water pipe cracks, and damaged the starboard propeller shaft.

Back to the Future (1985)
Dr. Emmett Brown: [the DeLorean has just made the first time-jump] Ah! What did I tell you? 88 miles per hour! The temporal displacement occurred exactly 1:20am and zero seconds!
Marty McFly: Ah, Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ, Doc, you disintegrated Einstein!
Dr. Emmett Brown: Calm down, Marty, I didn't disintegrate anything. The molecular structure of both Einstein and the car are completely intact.
Marty McFly: Then where the hell *are* they?
Dr. Emmett Brown: The appropriate question is, "*When* the hell are they?" You see, Einstein has just become the world's first time-traveler! I sent him into the future. One minute into the future to be exact. And at precisely 1:21am and zero seconds, we shall catch up with him and the time machine.

This piece of paper|represents space-time,
and you want to get from "A" here...
to "B" there.
Now, what's the shortest|distance between two points?
A straight line.
Wrong. The shortest distance|between two points is zero,
and that's what the gateway does...
it folds...space
so that point "A" and point "B"
coexist in the same|space and time.
When the spacecraft|passes through the gateway,
space returns to normal.
It's called a gravity drive.
How do you know all this?
I built it.
Well, I see why they sent you.

The Caine Mutiny (1954)
Captain Queeg: Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist, and I'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled the Caine out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officers...
