Timecop
Here we go. The ripple was steady|at four, then spiked past five to six.
On the board, it looks|like it set off Waimea.
Somebody's really doing a number.
We've located the point|of origin and...
- it's right here in Washington.

Yesterday I started thinking again about the memory of turning 20 years while in the Gulf of Mexico. I have sometimes thought about the Persian Gulf when I reviewed that memory. I am wondering if I turned 20 while in the Persian Gulf. Or I was on a midshipman tour to a fleet ship and I was actually scrubbing dishes on the mess decks. The Tehran hostage incident didn't occur until November 1979 and I would have turned 20 during March 1979 so I don't know what I would be doing in the Gulf. Unless, simply, my fleet assignment was in the Persian Gulf and I was scrubbing dishes while underway there.
It's looks as though I have the choice of which side-effect to endure from the drugs I am being forced to take. If I take the medication to counter the side-effects from the anti-psychotic, I only sleep most of the day and I feel very groggy when I am awake. If I don't take the medication to counter the side-effects of the anti-psychotic, I don't feel as groggy, but my muscles, starting today with my legs, start to get a disturbing tightening feeling. I think I'll start taking the side-effect medication again and deal with the sleepiness side-effects. I am certainly glad to have the freedom to make choices as I am being tormented by anonymous cowards.

I have also been thinking several times the past few days about a TNG episode. This may have come up in other episodes, but there was that one where a group was complaining about how warp-ships were damaging the galaxy. I have been thinking about how even our space probes could be harming planets. There is a procedure for using the rotation of a planet to slow down an approaching space craft. The problem is that using that procedure actually, theoretically I guess, slows down the rotation of the planet. The energy has to go somewhere and I guess it is transfered to the planet which I guess is similar to putting more mass onto the planet. One space craft has about the same effect as hitting a brick wall with a ball ping hammer, but those hits are cumulative.

I was thinking last night about a memory featured prominently in my symbolic memory. It is of a time in 1985 when I was on the Taylor. It was during that same deployment when I watched the Estocin run aground in Key West. We were traveling along shoulder to shoulder with a Soviet battlegroup that was touring the oil pltform fields off the coast of Texas and Louisiana. During that time, I still worked for the Boatswain's Mates, but I was assigned to a 90-day tour of the mess decks, as all junior crewmen had to complete. I was working every day on the mess decks as a dishwasher. There was three of us in there and I remember one of them telling me "happy birthday". The part of this memory that seems to be operative is that I remember thinking several times that I turned 20 years old in "the Gulf." There seems to be a process there to makes me want to, that forces me to think that it was the Gulf Of Mexico. If I need to be forced to think I was in the Gulf Of Mexico for my 20th birthday, does that mean I needed to forget that I was actually in the Arabian Gulf for my 20th birthday? After I thought about that for a while, a few minutes ago I started wondering if it was actually my 21st birthday that I turned in the Gulf. Then I thought that maybe it was both. Maybe in March 1979 and March 1980, I was in the Arabian Gulf. I don't know why I would be there in '79, other than some kind of midshipman training. In March of 1980, when I would have turned 21, I could have been there in preparation for the attempted hostage rescue, Operation Eagle Claw.
