 ML> about two years, maybe three. Of course I frequent more humid

 CS> Good lord!  I cant imagine having flour last that long!  You need a

GJ> I have wholemeat flour 8 years old, and self-raising white flour 4

Snicker.  Ok, you need a girlfriend with a breadmaker!  That or a neighbor like
me who steals it all and hands you back a 1/2 cup or so as needed.

Just got back from the base.  Got me electronic goodies.  They have USB floppy
drives so got one and i found a decent looking USB HD which my other laptop
can use since the main one died.  Just have to load it.  I also got a 10 pack
of re-writable CD's to hedge my bets.

Our new exchange is turning out quite nice.  The size is so much more than we
had before!  It's still got big empty sections not yet filled with goods but I
was able to skip the commisary as it had the few items I really needed.  Grin,
'paper products for girls and women' (stocks just incase I am away when
Charlotte needs them) and laundry soap now that we have a machine in our
berthing again.  I ddint need food and the base was packed so we just got as
needed there.  Got Charlotte some nice 'smelly hair shampoo' of the type that
makes all women smile, even if younger women!  She liked the green apple best
and i liked the Ocean Breeze best so we got both.

They are out of 'Sasebo Japan' T-shirts as you'd expect with the Blue Ridge in
(4,000 sailors).  I'll have to remember to get one of those before we leave. 
Funny how that one goes.  Most folks get T-shirts in places they visit vice
where they live all the time. I'm no different.
