    On business, I was driving north to San Diego on I-15, intending to
exit on Miramar Road.  But somehow I found myself at Miramar Naval Air
Station.  I couldn't turn around without going through the entrance
gate.

be here."
    "Ma'am," replied the young sailor, looking me straight in the eye,
"neither do I."

and that's the truth!
