I *know* there was something about me and a tunnel in Croatia.
I was a heavy machine gunner in the United States Marine Corps in the early to mid 1990s. I was extremely proficient with the United States military rapid fire grenade launcher. I was highly skilled as an gunner from United States of America federal military aircraft.
I see a tree sometimes that makes me think of how much time I was overseas with the United States Marine Corps in Croatia.
I always enjoyed driving through the interstate I-90 tunnel through Mercer Island near Seattle Washington, and there was something so futuristic about that, and that was after I bought that blue 1990 Mazda RX-7 in 2001 after not owning an automobile for so many years because I only had to walk a couple blocks to work at my office, so what does that mean? Does that mean I enjoyed Croatia or does that mean I want back my real life as Kerry Wayne Burgess the United States Marine Corps officer.
