When I was in the Army, they sold this super-cheap beer with a German-sounding name for ninety-five cents a six-pack, at the PX. You could buy a case of this stuff with a five and have enough change left to buy a pack of smokes. It tasted decent, but if you drank more than two or three of them, it gave you a scorching case of the shits. The toilets in the barracks took a beating on the weekends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunboat1 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 The amazing thing is that they moved the entire structure a few hundred yards back from the beach a few years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the 1900 hurricane devastated Galveston,TX, they raised 500 square blocks of the city between 8 and 17 feet higher, by raising all the buildings and buried infrastructure, like pipes, on scaffolding and pumping in a seawater/sand slurry. As the water drained away, the sand was left for everything to rest upon. individual homeowners were responsible for the cost of lifting their homes. Many chose to simply allow the ground floors to be buried and lived on the second and higher floors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
