The<\/strong> professional pictures from the Marine Ball have been posted for all to see, so I picked off a few to show you the decor.\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Many people had their picture taken with the Marines, and I was one as seen below.\u00a0 The guy with the white pants is the “Gunny”, or Det. Commander.\u00a0 Good guy.\u00a0 The joker with the blue tie is me.\"\"<\/a>Speaking of Marines, several joined me and a friend at the Irish pub we like to go to.\u00a0 Here is a pic of us.\u00a0 The pretty girl is engaged to the Marine next to her.\"\"<\/a>Last Friday, I got myself invited to a BBQ put on by the good guys in the Facilities Dept.\u00a0 The Carpenters, Electricians, HVAC guys, etc.\u00a0 I found this to be most interesting, because it showed me the Brazilian way of BBQ, much unlike ours in the States.\u00a0 They place meat on the grill, cook it and place it on the table and slice it.\u00a0 People come around and eat some of it.\u00a0 Several pieces of meat are on the grill continuously and the preparations, cooking and serving is a slow process with everyone mingling around.\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Each piece of meat, when done is placed on the white cutting board on the counter and sliced for all to come by and get a piece.\u00a0 The dark bags on the white table in front has bread in them.\u00a0 So, the BBQ lasts several hours as the cooking takes place.\u00a0 During all this,\u00a0several of the guys brought out their drums.\u00a0 The first movie below is a short one a little over a minute, and the second one is\u00a0about two and a half.\u00a0 Click on them to bring them up.\u00a0 Someone will have to download these for MotherDear to view, since the resolution on her computer is so low.<\/p>\n
