Me I stopped following many years back when I moved to a state that lacked any connection to pro sports.

Saves me a pile of time for watching vintage Westerns lol.

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

THANK YOU
for your service!

Reading about the actions of our heroes who receive the Medal of Honor takes my breath away and tonight is no exception. One can't help but ask, "Where do they find such courage?"

Hai - well, spent the weekend being lazy since the weather wasn’t really conducive for skydiving; will be heading out to Denver on Wednesday since it looks like I’ll have some flights.

It’s kinda like that story about Oly and Sven out hunting.

Oly concerned about the wildlife says “what should we do if a bear comes across us?”
Sven says run, reach behind you and throw it at the beast.

Oly says throw what?

Sven says, “it will be there”

I saw it earlier...beautiful and huge. I probably won’t go out for the whole eclipse. Maybe for a glimpse at part of it.

Howdy, LUV.

WOOHOO! Ya got the 50!
Had I not been in a hurry to go out to check on the moon situation, I MIGHT have noticed it was there for the taking. LOL!

We’ve had clouds most of the day, then sporadically this evening. Clear for now and I hope they stay that way for the eclipse. It should start any time now. The camera’s ready for pix of totality.
