Since it's on the western side of Luzon, it's pretty sheltered from most typhoons. Back when Clark AB was the best assignment in the AF, I'd spend weekends on the beach of my own private (for the day) island there.

Of course with you and me here, they don't need to, but according to the theory in that post, they are all substandard, unworthy, and below us. I used to be one of them too, but I was far superior then, because it's "better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." <br /><br />It's too late for me, but you quiet ones out there, be very careful.
