Blue Angel: A Honda Odyssey

A few days ago we looked at Vehicle #2, a 1996 Honda Odyssey which, heretofore, shall be called MY car. Unlike the minivan version today the 1996 looks much more like a car. It drives a lot like a car. Well, who am I to say? I haven't driven anything here yet. It is in outstanding shape! The cars here are unbelievable. If you didn't know it was a 1996 you would swear it's a 2006. It's in such great shape.

The owners are leaving Okinawa after a 3 year tour cut short. The woman we spoke with said they were leaving this month after being here just one year. Her husband just got picked up for the Blue Angels. HELLO?! Do any of you know how much I LOVE the Blue Angels?! And, if you don't have you not been paying attention?! I asked if he is a Marine...he is. The Blue Angels are the U.S. Naval Flight Demonstration Squadron but there are also Marines on the team. Am I smart, or what? Actually, he would've had to be a Marine since there's no naval air station here. He's going to be flying Fat Albert...the Blue Angels' C-130. You can check that out at http://www.blueangels.com/. It's a pretty impressive plane. The only thing cooler than this would be if the guy was the opposing solo or the Boss. Hey...I'll take what I can get!

It's a funny thing. Lonnie's Honda Accord was previously owned by NLU's basketball coach, Mike Vining and now MY car from one of the Blue Angels! Ooh-rah!
