Just being curious-
I was a member of the 7/15th Artillery, which was also deactivated. Our colors are kept by the 2/15th at Ft. Drum.
I'm not sure of the origins of "howitzer", but currently the German word is "haubitze".
Here's one of our howitzers teeing off.

I'm not a fish person....

My wife is Japanese.

I eat sashimi regularly.

No, seriously...................I've had sashimi so fresh many times that the flesh of the sashimi moves when you touch it.

At many good sushi bars in Japan, it's not uncommon at all to eat raw fish that fresh.

I've had fugu a number of times, and it is not one of my favorites. When we go to a Japanese restaurant and tell the sushi chef "omakase", he will serve us fish at his preference, and that is when I'll eat fugu (if they have it).

Blowfish is quite good, it has a unique taste which is hard to describe.

I've had it and rank it right near the bottom of my favorites, with sea urchin bringing up the rear. Had some toro Saturday that was less than ten minutes old and we made ceviche with still kickin' yellowtail and mahi soaked in some swill white chardonnay and lemon juice. Oh yeah.
