Another best quote of the day.
My mother remembers having butter once a week during the war. My grandmother often talked sadly about giving up her aluminum pots and pans (very high tech back then) to make airplane wings. My family lost three men and one woman during the war. My wife's aunt spent four years in a Japanese POW camp in Asia.
I think I can make the sock walk and wait for water on board.
