    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.

    Maybe the gun tubes were the shipboard equivalent of a shoebox? I KNOW I can fit in here.....

    They were likely staged, however, as normally when not in use a ship's guns would be covered by tampions, covers to keep out the seawater and salty air, preventing corrosion.

    Many of these pics were just good examples of "If I fits, I sits". Cats haven't changed much, have they?
    Proud to be a crazy cat lady!
