Flutterby™! : Endless vacation

With the recommendations that I take a vacation, and Todd's accounts of his recent trek up the Oregon coast (which he's gonna post a link to from here, right?), I've realized that much of the joy of a vacation is the mindset which leads to the neat conversations. Since I live in a place lots of people come to visit, I figure the difference is I need to be more touristy. Today while getting a haircut (first one I've had in [mumbledy mumble] years) I talked to a man who was in the merchant marine, and he recounted some of his experiences in the Pacific during World War II. So, your assignment for today is to go out and ask a random stranger about their story. Got me movie previews and a first-hand account of a kamikaze attack today.
