Yesterday I had to make a quick trip to S. Padre Island...about a 30 mi. trip. There is a ship channel that runs parallel to the border with Mexico and goes to the Port of Brownsville. As I was crossing the bridge that joins the island to the mainland, I spotted a large freighter about to enter the channel. First thing that came to my mind was "where can I put some torpedos in that baby to bring her down fast..."....
