Hi, you guys.
I think I'm taking down my regular flag, and flying my one from the 82nd in Afghanistan for the rest of today.
Otherwise, just taking it easy. I usually stay away from the ocean on long weekends like this, and just hide in my house, it gets too crazy out on the water. Everyone that owns a boat is out there, half of 'em drinking, it's overrun with LEO's, etc.
Might go out for Thai food for dinner, though.
Understood about avoiding the public! I shake my head at friends that go camping on long weekends like this. Jeepers... Take a vacation day in two weeks if'n you want to go camping.
I wish we had a pole out in the pasture or other dignified place to fly our Aghanistan flags at home. Hanging them off the porch of this old trailer just seems very insulting to them!
Hmmm... I used to live on the lake out west of Austin. That was how we had to handle holiday weekends. Never leave the house! Wasn't unusual to have to call the sherriff out to get rid of people disrespectful of our home. Lake would get so crowded that people would park in my yard and we couldn't even get out. For those, I called the local wrecker company.
Mmmm. Thai food!! That's an idea for this week while Clare and Joseph are gone! Paul and David LOVE Thai food, and that will be a nice treat since we're gonna be workin them hard this week! ;o)
Sounds great--Thai food is my favorite :) I usually get Tom Yum Gai with crab rangoon as an appetizer, and some type of chicken dish with the hottest possible spice for the main course. I especially like chicken with pineapple.
