It is too bad. Unfortunately no one else knows how to operate them.

God I hated Norfolk.  You can't even imagine how much traffic sucked (and parking) when a handful of the bad boys pulled in.

Ah, Toonces, you must have been there after the DesSub Pub was closed on the southern docks.
That place was hopping when the CVs pulled in.  And there was smoking inside, with smokin hot strippers.  Not a politically correct beadle in sight.
