Claustrophobia

Ever have a bad case of claustrophobia? If not, and you'd like one, take a trip through the USS Drum, a submarine next to the USS Alabama in Mobile. You have to be small, thin, and crazy to have worked on one of these things. And I had the joy of knowing that I was above water. I can't imagine what it would have been like while in the middle of the ocean, under water, with no way out. Somehow I don't think men volunteered for sub duty. In any event, it was a real eye opener and quite the learning experience. I'm glad we went both to the Alabama and the Drum.

Funny - I'm fine as long as it's not pitch black dark and I know I can get out to see sky. Wouldn't want to have to live in one of these!
