		<title>Summer of &#8216;80</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The summer of 1980 was the first of 6 that we would spend in the enchanted land we called &#8220;home&#8221;.  One thing you learn as the child of a military person is that they are really into playing mind games.  What I mean is &#8211; when you do something bad, the way to [...]]]></description>

		<title>13.  Springtime!!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The school year is sorta winding down. At Kubasaki High the rainy season is in full swing. One has not lived unless one has made the trek from the 200 Building across the field to pass by the 100 building on the left and the auditorium and the cafeteria on the right, across the teachers [...]]]></description>

		<title>12.  On Base Only Driving</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, now it&#8217;s deep winter on Okinawa.  That really means it&#8217;s a little better to wear long sleeves and jeans after dark.  I had passed the driving test at the Kadena Driver&#8217;s Ed center and was ready to exercise my &#8220;on-base&#8221; driving privileges.  They make sure that you do understand it is [...]]]></description>

		<title>11.  Our trip to Taiwan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I forgot to write about the trip we made to Taiwan in September or October of 1979.  When we landed in Japan at Narita airport, we were stamped into the country as tourists.  As tourists we were not allowed to stay in country for more than 6 months or so.  Dad made many trips to [...]]]></description>

		<title>10.  Okinawa Christmas 1979</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Late november it starts to get really cold.  I had to wear a jacket.  Again, I&#8217;m seriously allergic to temperatures below about 75 or so.  The nights were chilly by this time.  We were really having a good time in this new land of wonder.  We were making more frequent [...]]]></description>

		<title>9.  Thanksgiving &#8230;. Weren&#8217;t no pilgrims around</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There weren&#8217;t any pilgrims, that is certain.  There were, however, our Okinawan friends.  We had invited Chieko, Kyomi, Ayako, and Yasuko to the house to feast.  It was great, just another opportunity to gain the trust of our parents before all h*ll broke loose.  I used to have pictures of the [...]]]></description>

Bases were locking down and no POVs (Privately Owned Vehicles) were allowed on the streets unless the occupants were involved in mission critical travel.  Wow, this was [...]]]></description>

		<title>7.  Koza, here we come!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As we got more and more used to the new surroundings, the opportunities that showed up were more and more exciting.  Our &#8220;new&#8221; okinawan friends, Kyomi and Chieko had a good report with my parents.  When they asked us to join them in a trip to Koza for some &#8220;shopping&#8221; my parents couldn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>6.  Early Exploration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In 1979 we three kids were largely uncorrupted by american society.  Sure, we had gotten into our share of trouble, but, we were still pure and clean for the most part.  In our new circle of friends, mostly from Makiminato Housing Area, we learned about the skating rink.  The skating rink quickly became &#8220;the&#8221; in [...]]]></description>
